uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καὶ αὐτῶν δεήσει ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἐπιποθούντων ὑμᾶς

and ˱of˲_them ˱with˲_/the/_petition for you_all longing_for ˱for˲_you_all

Here, the phrase in their prayer on your behalf could go with: (1) longing. In this case, the word longing describes another thing that the Jerusalem believers do, besides “glorifying God” (See: 9:13). Alternate translation: “and they are longing for you in their prayer on your behalf,” (2) the phrase “because of” in the previous verse (See: 9:13). In this case, their prayer on your behalf is another reason why God receives glory. Alternate translation: “and because of their prayer on your behalf, in which they long for you”

τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφ’ ὑμῖν

the surpassing grace ¬the ˱of˲_God on you_all

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a grace that is connected to God. He could mean that the grace: (1) is something that God gave to them to do. Alternate translation: “how God has given you the ability to perform surpassing grace” (2) is how God has acted towards them. Alternate translation: “how God has been surpassingly gracious to you”
