OET interlinear 1 TH 4:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ γὰρ ποιεῖτε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ ποιεῖτε αὐτό εἰς πάντας τούς ἀδελφούς τούς ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ Μακεδονίᾳ παρακαλοῦμεν Δέ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί περισσεύειν μᾶλλον)

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](../04/09.md)). 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]

Here, the word it refers to “brotherly love” (see [4:9](../04/09.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [you show brotherly love]

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]
