OET (OET-LV) Because even in Thessalonikaʸ, both once and twice, because/for the need to_me you_all_sent.
ὅτι καὶ ἐν Θεσσαλονίκῃ
because even in Thessalonica
Alternate translation: “for even when I was in Thessalonica”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
καὶ ἅπαξ καὶ δὶς
even both once and twice
The phrase both once and twice is an idiom meaning that something occurred more than one time. If your readers would not understand this idiom, you could use an equivalent idiom from your language, or you could state this in plain language. Alternate translation: “several times”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
εἰς τὴν χρείαν μοι ἐπέμψατε
for the need ˱to˲_me ˱you_all˲_sent
Paul is leaving out some of the words that this phrase would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be clearer in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “you sent me money to help me with my needs”
4:16 After leaving Philippi (4:15) Paul had gone to Thessalonica (see Acts 17:1-8; cp. 1 Thes 2:1-14).
OET (OET-LV) Because even in Thessalonikaʸ, both once and twice, because/for the need to_me you_all_sent.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
