Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τῇ δεήσει
for us ¬the ˱in˲_petition
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of supplication, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “by praying to God for us”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
ἵνα
in_order_that
The connecting words so that introduce a goal or purpose relationship. Paul presents the purpose of the Corinthians praying for him to be that many people will be thanking God. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἵνα ἐκ πολλῶν προσώπων & εὐχαριστηθῇ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν
in_order_that by many people & /may_be/_given_thanks for us
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. Alternate translation: “so that many faces may give thanks on our behalf to God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐκ πολλῶν προσώπων
by many people
Paul is using faces to represent people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the lips of many” or “from many people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ εἰς ἡμᾶς χάρισμα
the toward us gift
This gracious gift is something that God will do for Paul and his companions in the future in answer to many people’s prayers. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of gift, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “because God will have graciously given us what we needed”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
διὰ πολλῶν
through many
Here 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 the ideas earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “through the prayers of many people”
1:3-11 Paul now breaks into a jubilant thanksgiving. He is glad that, in spite of many troubles that have weighed upon him, he has had special comfort from God (1:4-7) and has been rescued from death in the province of Asia (1:8-11).
