OET interlinear 1TH 4:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ γὰρ ποιεῖτε

also for ˱you_all˲_/are/_doing

Here, the phrase For also introduces another reason why Paul and his fellow workers do not need to write to the Thessalonians (see 4:9). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces another reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Again, we do not need to write to you about this, since you do” or “Even more, you do”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ποιεῖτε αὐτὸ

˱you_all˲_/are/_doing it

Here, the word it refers to “brotherly love” (see 4:9). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “you show brotherly love”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a slight contrast between what the Thessalonians are doing and how Paul wants them to do it even more. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Now” or “Yet”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περισσεύειν μᾶλλον

/to_be/_abounding more

Here Paul implies that he and his fellow workers want the Thessalonians to abound in brotherly love even more. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to abound even more in brotherly love”
