uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τὰ διαφέροντα

in_order that /to_be/_approving you_all the_‹things› carrying_value

The word what here refers to that which a person does, and the word excels here refers to something that is best, according to God. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state these things explicitly. Alternate translation: “so that you may approve and choose to do what pleases God the most”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

εἰς

in_order

Here, the phrase so that shows that what follows this phrase is the desired result of Paul’s prayer in verse nine. Consider using a connecting word or phrase that will clearly show that what follows it is the desired result of what Paul prayed in verse nine.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

εἰλικρινεῖς καὶ ἀπρόσκοποι

sincere and inoffensive

The words pure and blameless have very similar meanings. Paul uses these two words together to emphasize the idea of moral purity. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these two words and translate them as one idea. Alternate translation: “completely innocent”
