Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
τῇ σπουδῇ μὴ ὀκνηροί, τῷ πνεύματι ζέοντες, τῷ Κυρίῳ δουλεύοντες

Paul is using statements to give commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural form for commands. Alternate translation: “in diligence, do not be lazy; in the spirit, be eager; serve the Lord”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῇ σπουδῇ
¬the ˱in˲_earnestness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of diligence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in being diligent”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ πνεύματι
¬the ˱in˲_spirit
Here, the spirit could refer to: (1) a person’s spirit, as in 1:9. Alternate translation: “in your spirit” or “wholeheartedly” (2) the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: “in the Holy Spirit”
12:11 but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically: As Christians, we are to be passionate about our faith and eager to fulfill our ministry to others within the church.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
