OET interlinear PHP 1:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ τοῦτο πεποιθὼς

and this /having/_persuaded

The word this refers back to 1:24 where Paul said that he believed it was more necessary that he remain alive on earth so that he could continue helping the Philippian Christians mature in their faith. If this would be unclear in your language, consider further explaining the word this in your translation. Alternate translation: “And being sure that it is better for you that I remain” or “And having been convinced that I should remain here on earth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοῦτο πεποιθὼς

this /having/_persuaded

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “because I am sure of this”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μενῶ

˱I˲_/will_be/_remaining

Here, the word remain refers to remaining alive on earth in one’s body in contrast to dying and leaving the earth to be with Christ. See how you translated the word remain in 1:24 and make the meaning the same here. Alternate translation: “I will continue living on this earth”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

μενῶ καὶ παραμενῶ

˱I˲_/will_be/_remaining and ˱I˲_/will_be/_continuing_with

These two words mean very similar things. The first is more general and the second is more specific about remaining with someone. If your language has one word for both of these meanings, you could use that here. Alternate translation: “I will continue with”

for the ˱of˲_you_all progress and joy

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
