uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀποκαραδοκίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα

eager_expectation (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά τήν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καί ἐλπίδα μού ὅτι ἐν οὐδενί αἰσχυνθήσομαι ἀλλʼ ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ ὡς πάντοτε καί νῦν μεγαλυνθήσεται Χριστός ἐν τῷ σώματι μού εἴτε διά ζωῆς εἴτε διά θανάτου)

Both eager expectation and hope have similar meanings and together express a single idea. Paul uses these two words together to emphasize the strength of his expectation. If you have a single word or phrase in your language which expresses the meaning of these two words, consider using that to express the strength of the hope in another way. Alternate translation: [sincere expectation] or [sure hope]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ τὴν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά τήν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καί ἐλπίδα μού ὅτι ἐν οὐδενί αἰσχυνθήσομαι ἀλλʼ ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ ὡς πάντοτε καί νῦν μεγαλυνθήσεται Χριστός ἐν τῷ σώματι μού εἴτε διά ζωῆς εἴτε διά θανάτου)

Both expectation and hope are abstract nouns. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express them together in a verb phrase. Alternate translation: [because I fully believe]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν τῷ σώματί μου

in in in the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά τήν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καί ἐλπίδα μού ὅτι ἐν οὐδενί αἰσχυνθήσομαι ἀλλʼ ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ ὡς πάντοτε καί νῦν μεγαλυνθήσεται Χριστός ἐν τῷ σώματι μού εἴτε διά ζωῆς εἴτε διά θανάτου)

The phrase in my body is used here to mean the activities that Paul does with his body. Paul speaks of his body because it was with his earthly body that he would serve God on earth until he died, as he explains in more detail in [1:22–24](../01/22.md). Alternate translation: [in everything that I do]

If the double-negative phrase in nothing be ashamed would be confusing in your language, you could translate it in a positive way. Alternate translation: [I will always do the right thing and]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ

in in all boldness

If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun boldness with a similar adverb. Alternate translation: [always act boldly]

whether or (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά τήν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καί ἐλπίδα μού ὅτι ἐν οὐδενί αἰσχυνθήσομαι ἀλλʼ ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ ὡς πάντοτε καί νῦν μεγαλυνθήσεται Χριστός ἐν τῷ σώματι μού εἴτε διά ζωῆς εἴτε διά θανάτου)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the ideas behind the abstract nouns life and death with their verbal forms. Alternate translation: [whether I live or I die]
