4.16 Defensione. Pressuram et tribulationem sibi illatam defensionem appellat: tribulatio defensio est Christianis, quia defendit eos in die judicii. Non illis imputetur. Non orat pro Alexandro, qui invidentia fraternitatem oppugnando peccaverat, sed pro his qui abruperant amorem, sed timore succubuerunt; orat ut eis ignoscatur. Multum enim interest inter eos qui hoc modo et eos qui illo modo peccant.

Multum because interest between them who hoc modo and them who illo modo peccant.

4:16 The first time I was brought before the judge: A Roman trial was divided between an initial, preliminary investigation and the trial proper. Paul was probably referring to the first of these. It could also refer to his first imprisonment in Rome (Acts 28; see 2 Timothy Book Introduction, “Date of Writing”).
• Everyone abandoned me: See study note on 2 Tim 4:10.
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ μου ἀπολογίᾳ
in ¬the first ˱of˲_me defense
Here, the phrase first defense refers to the first time that Paul was in court and had to defend himself against accusations. Paul implies that he already had appeared in court again or that he would have to do so again in the future. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of legal proceeding, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “At the opening session of my trial” or “When I first appeared in court to answer the accusations against me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐδείς μοι παρεγένετο
no_one ˱with˲_me appeared
Here Paul means that no one went with Paul to the court to help him defend himself. They might have been able to help Paul by testifying that he had not done anything wrong, or they might have just sat in the court to show that they approved of Paul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “no one went with me to testify on my behalf” or “no one was there to help me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
πάντες
all
Paul is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all the believers who were there with Paul. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “all the believers here”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ αὐτοῖς λογισθείη
not ˱to˲_them ˱it˲_/might_have/_reckoned
Here Paul means that he does not want his fellow believers to be punished for not appearing with him in court. He uses this form as a way to ask God to forgive them for forsaking him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “May they not be punished for that” or “May they not be held responsible for that”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μὴ αὐτοῖς λογισθείη
not ˱to˲_them ˱it˲_/might_have/_reckoned
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 would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be God. Alternate translation: “May God not count it against them”
