2:17 Paul’s prayer echoes the purpose of Timothy’s visit to the church—to strengthen and encourage the Thessalonian believers in their faith (1 Thes 3:2).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
παρακαλέσαι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας, καὶ στηρίξαι
/might/_comfort ˱of˲_you_all the hearts and /might/_strengthen_‹you_all›
Here, the word hearts represents both the emotion and will of a person. If hearts does not mean this in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “may he give comfort and strength to your livers” or “may he comfort you and strengthen you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ ἀγαθῷ
in every work and word good
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the phrase work and word with verbs. Alternative translation: “in every good thing that you do and say” or “so that you could do and say everything that is good.”
