SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1–3: Paul and Timothy greet Philemon

When Christians in New Testament times wrote a letter, they usually started by doing three things. First they wrote the name of the person or people who were writing the letter. Then they wrote the name of the person or people who would be receiving the letter. Then they wrote a Christian greeting. Paul did all three things in his letter to Philemon. He included:

Your translation may be easier to read if each of these three parts is a separate paragraph, as in the GNT, BSB, NIV, and RSV versions.

Carefully consider the best way to arrange the information in verses 1–3 when you translate verses 1–3. What is the usual way to begin a letter in your language? Can you follow that style and still include the three parts from Paul’s opening Section? All of the information in this opening Section should also be in the opening Section of your translation. For example, do not take Paul’s name out of the opening paragraph even though writers in your language put their name at the end of the letter. After you have decided what is the best way to begin a letter in your language, follow that same basic way consistently in your translations of all of Paul’s letters.

Read verses 1–3 carefully in the BSB and the GNT. Then read the following notes and the Display before you begin to translate.

3

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Many Christians greeted one another in this way (verse 3) in the early days of Christianity. It is as if Paul was saying a prayer, asking God to bless those he was writing to.

Grace and peace: This was a greeting and blessing Paul often used in his letters. (For example, 1 Corinthians 1:3, Galatians 1:3, Ephesians 1:2).

Grace: The word Grace in this context means “kindness, favor, good will, or blessing.” Paul was asking God to be kind to those to whom he was writing. He wanted God to favor them. Try to think of ways in your language for asking God to bless someone. The term Grace is an important term in the New Testament. See “grace", sense A2(b) in Key Biblical Terms.

peace: Paul meant “peace of heart” here. This results from a person having peace with God. The term peace also implies “peace with one another.” People who have peace of heart normally live in peace with one another.

to you: The word you is plural here and thus includes all the people whom Paul addressed in the first two verses.

God our Father: For Christians, God is like a father, one who loves us and cares for us.

Lord: The word Lord here in verse 3 means “master” or “leader.” Jesus Christ is our spiritual leader. We who are Christians should obey him as a servant obeys his master. See “Christ", sense 4 in Key Biblical Terms .

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-blessing

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη, ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

grace ˱to˲_you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός ἡμῶν καί Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

After introducing the senders and recipients of the letter, Paul gives a blessing. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: [May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη, ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

grace ˱to˲_you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός ἡμῶν καί Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract nouns Grace and peace with adjectives such as “gracious” and “peaceful.” Alternate translation: [May God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ be gracious to you and make you peaceful]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν & ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός ἡμῶν καί Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

The word our here is inclusive, referring to Paul, those with him, and the reader.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

˱to˲_you_all

Here, you is plural, referring to all of the recipients named in [verses 1–2](../01/01.md).

Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατρὸς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: χάρις ὑμῖν καί εἰρήνη ἀπό Θεοῦ Πατρός ἡμῶν καί Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ)

Father is an important title for God.
