OET (OET-RV) You’re all witnesses, and God also, as to how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we were to the believers,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὑμεῖς μάρτυρες καὶ ὁ Θεός, ὡς
you_all_‹are› witnesses and ¬the God how
Here Paul speaks as if he were summoning both the Thessalonians and God as witnesses to testify on their behalf before a judge. He means that both the Thessalonians and God know how he and his fellow workers acted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a similar figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You and God can declare how” or “You and God know how”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ὡς ὁσίως, καὶ δικαίως, καὶ ἀμέμπτως
how devoutly and justly and blamelessly
The terms piously, righteously, and blamelessly mean similar things. Paul is using the three terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with only one or two terms. Alternate translation: “righteously” or “properly and and purely”
2:10 Both God and the Thessalonians were witnesses (see 2:5) that Paul’s conduct was devout and honest, terms used in ancient literature to describe obedience to both divine and human laws.
OET (OET-LV) You_all are witnesses and the god, how devoutly, and justly, and blamelessly, to_you_all the ones believing we_were_become,
OET (OET-RV) You’re all witnesses, and God also, as to how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we were to the believers,
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.
