OET interlinear ROM 1:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πάντοτε ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου, δεόμενος

always on the prayers ˱of˲_me beseeching

This phrase means the same thing as “I continually make mention of you” in the previous verse. Paul uses them to emphasize how intensely he prays that God will allow him to visit the church at Rome. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase for the similar passage in the previous verse and in this verse provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “in all my prayers, I beg God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντοτε

always

Here, the word always is an exaggeration that figuratively expresses the frequency of Paul’s prayers to God for the church at Rome. Paul does not mean that he spends all of his time praying for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use plain language and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “frequently”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῷ θελήματι τοῦ Θεοῦ

by the will ¬the ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “because God wills for me” or “because God wants me”
