uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὅσαι & ἐπαγγελίαι Θεοῦ, ἐν αὐτῷ τὸ ναί

as_many_as & promises ˱of˲_God in him_‹is› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅσαι Γάρ ἐπαγγελίαι Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ τό Ναί Διό καί διʼ αὐτοῦ τό Ἀμήν τῷ Θεῷ πρός δόξαν διʼ ἡμῶν)

This means that Jesus makes all of the promises of God come to pass. He guarantees them. Alternate translation: [Jesus fulfills all of the promises of God]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐν αὐτῷ & δι’ αὐτοῦ

in him_‹is› & through him

Both occurrences of the word him in this verse refer to Jesus Christ. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use his name here. Alternate translation: [in Jesus … through Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τὸ Ἀμὴν & δι’ ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅσαι Γάρ ἐπαγγελίαι Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ τό Ναί Διό καί διʼ αὐτοῦ τό Ἀμήν τῷ Θεῷ πρός δόξαν διʼ ἡμῶν)

Paul is leaving out a verb of speaking that in many languages this sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply this word if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [the “Amen” is spoken by us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ Ἀμὴν & δι’ ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅσαι Γάρ ἐπαγγελίαι Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ τό Ναί Διό καί διʼ αὐτοῦ τό Ἀμήν τῷ Θεῷ πρός δόξαν διʼ ἡμῶν)

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: [we say the “Amen”]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

us

Here, us includes the Corinthian believers, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῷ Θεῷ πρὸς δόξαν

¬the ˱to˲_God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅσαι Γάρ ἐπαγγελίαι Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ τό Ναί Διό καί διʼ αὐτοῦ τό Ἀμήν τῷ Θεῷ πρός δόξαν διʼ ἡμῶν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [so that we glorify God] or [so that we honor God]
