UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it introduces an explanation of what Paul said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”

μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν

˱you_all˲_/are/_going /to_be/_dying_off

Here, die refers to dying spiritually, which means enduring eternal punishment in hell after experiencing physical death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “you are going to die spiritually”

τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε

the practices ˱of˲_the body ˱you_all˲_/are/_putting_to_death

Here, put to death means “completely stop doing something.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you stop doing the practices of the body”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος

the practices ˱of˲_the body

Paul is using the possessive form to describe the practices that are done with the body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “what is done with the body” or “what you do with the body”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ζήσεσθε

˱you_all˲_/will_be/_living
