Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

with all the with all the with all the strength

See how you translated the similar phrase in 12:30. Alternate translation: “from how strong one is” or “with everything that one is able to do”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὡς ἑαυτὸν

as himself

The scribe is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. See how you expressed the similar idea in 12:31. Alternate translation: “as one love oneself”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περισσότερόν ἐστιν

more_important is

Here the scribe means that keeping these two commandments is more important or significant than offering burnt offerings and sacrifices. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “is even more important than” or “is more significant than”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πάντων τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ θυσιῶν

all the whole_burnt_offerings and sacrifices

The terms whole burnt offerings and sacrifices mean similar things. The scribe is using the two terms together to include all the different kinds of sacrifices and offerings in his claim. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “all the various offerings” or “all sacrifices that anyone might offer”
