Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἧς ἐγενόμην ἐγὼ διάκονος
˱of˲_which became I /a/_servant
If your language would specify who called Paul to be a servant of the church, you could rephrase this clause so that God is the subject and Paul is the object. Alternate translation: “God appointed me to be a servant of the church”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν οἰκονομίαν
the management
The word stewardship refers to managing a household or, more generally, to directing any group or process. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word stewardship, you could replace the word with a descriptive phrase. Alternate translation: “authoritative oversight” or “superintending authority”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὴν οἰκονομίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the management ¬the ˱of˲_God
Paul uses the possessive form to describe a stewardship that could: (1) come from God. Alternate translation: “the stewardship from God” (2) belong to God and be given to Paul. Alternate translation: “God’s own stewardship” or “God’s own oversight”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι
the ¬which /having_been/_given ˱to˲_me
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form, with God as the subject. Alternate translation: “that God gave to me” or “that he gave me”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ
the word ¬the ˱of˲_God
Paul uses the possessive form to describe the word that is: (1) from God. Alternate translation: “the word that came from God” (2) about God. Alternate translation: “the word about God”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ
the word ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here, word represents a message that is made up of words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “the message from God” or “God’s message”
