4.8 Reddet.

Justus judex. Utique justus retribuendo bona pro bonis, quia tamen prius misericors est retribuendo bona pro malis; ipsa justitia qua retribuuntur bona pro bonis non est sine misericordia.

4.8 Reddet. When/But_if because fides gratia it_is, and vita æterna as_if merces it_is of_faith; videtur indeed God life eternal tanquam debitum reddere cui debet fideli, because promeruit illam through fidem; but because fides gratia it_is, and vita æterna it_is gratia, through gratiam therefore reddet. Yustus yudex. Utique justus retribuendo good for bonis, because tamen first/before misericors it_is retribuendo good for malis; herself justitia which retribuuntur good for bonis not/no it_is without misericordia.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λοιπὸν

furthermore

Here the word translated as From now on could introduce: (1) something that is true from that moment and into the future. Alternate translation: [Now and in the future] or [Henceforth] (2) the last thing that Paul wants to say about how he has lived his life. Alternate translation: [Finally]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπόκειταί & ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος

/is/_laid_away & the ¬the ˱of˲_righteousness crown

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [God is reserving the crown of righteousness]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος

the ¬the ˱of˲_righteousness crown

Here Paul is using the possessive form to describe a crown that could be: (1) the reward for his righteousness. Alternate translation: [the crown given to the righteous] or [the crown that is received because of righteousness] (2) righteousness itself. In this case, God rewards people by declaring them righteous. Alternate translation: [the crown that is righteousness]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος

the ¬the ˱of˲_righteousness crown

Here Paul describes the reward that he expects to receive as if it were the crown that athletes in his culture received when they won an event. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what God will give me to honor me, which is like a crown of righteousness,] or [what God will give me to honor me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν, ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ

in that ¬the day

Here Paul is referring to the exact moment when Jesus will return to this world, which will also be the end of the current time period. This will be the time when Jesus judges everyone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 1:12. Alternate translation: [on that day when Jesus will return] or [at his second coming]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐ μόνον δὲ ἐμοὶ, ἀλλὰ καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς

not only and ˱to˲_me but also ˱to˲_all the_‹ones›

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and he will not give it to me only, but he will also give it to all the ones]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πᾶσιν τοῖς ἠγαπηκόσι τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ

˱to˲_all the_‹ones› /having/_loved the appearing ˱of˲_him

Here the phrase having loved his appearing indicates that these people care about, long for, and rejoice at his appearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [to all the ones looking forward to his appearing] or [to all the ones who care about his appearing]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ

the appearing ˱of˲_him

Here the phrase his appearing refers to when Jesus will come back to this world, which is when he will act as a judge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed this phrase in 4:1. Alternate translation: [his second coming] or [his return]
