uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πᾶσαν χάριν

all grace

Here, the word grace refers primarily to good things that God has given to the Corinthians, including money and possessions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to these things. Alternate translation: “every good thing” or “every blessing”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πᾶσαν χάριν

all grace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of gracious, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “everything he gives” or “all his gracious gifts”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐν παντὶ πάντοτε πᾶσαν αὐτάρκειαν ἔχοντες

in everything always all contentment having

This phrase introduces a reason why the Corinthians can abound in every good work. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes this relationship clearer. Alternate translation: “since in everything, always, you have all sufficiency”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πᾶσαν αὐτάρκειαν ἔχοντες

all all contentment having

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sufficiency, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “being completely sufficient” or “being fully self-sufficient”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν

every work good

Here, the phrase every good work generally describes any good deed. However, it may also more specifically refer to helping others by giving them what they need. Make sure you use a phrase that could indicate this specific meaning in your language. Alternate translation: “every good act of service”
