UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐκ ἐπαυσάμην & νουθετῶν

not ˱I˲_ceased & admonishing

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative word stop. Alternate translation: “I continued to warn”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

μετὰ δακρύων

with tears

Paul is referring to strong emotion by association with the way a person who feels things deeply sheds tears of sadness or joy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “with deep emotion” or “with genuine feeling”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν

night and day

Paul is using the two parts of a full day, night and day, to mean all the time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “all the time”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν

night and day

Paul says night and day here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “without ever giving up”
