OET interlinear 2 TH 1:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

εἰς ὃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰς ὅ καί προσευχόμεθα πάντοτε περί ὑμῶν ἵνα ὑμᾶς ἀξιώσῃ τῆς κλήσεως ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν καί πληρώσῃ πασᾶν εὐδοκίαν ἀγαθωσύνης καί ἔργον πίστεως ἐν δυνάμει)

Here, For this connects verse 11 to verse 10, so that verse 11 gives the means or method (prayer for the Thessalonian believers) for reaching the purpose that verse 10 has just described (for Jesus to “be glorified … and marveled at”). Use a natural way in your language for introducing this relationship. Alternate translation: [This is why] or [To this end]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

καὶ προσευχόμεθα πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰς ὅ καί προσευχόμεθα πάντοτε περί ὑμῶν ἵνα ὑμᾶς ἀξιώσῃ τῆς κλήσεως ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν καί πληρώσῃ πασᾶν εὐδοκίαν ἀγαθωσύνης καί ἔργον πίστεως ἐν δυνάμει)

Paul is using always as an exaggeration in order to emphasize how often he prays for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language. Alternate translation: [we also pray regularly for you] or [we continue to pray for you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῆς κλήσεως

˱of˲_the calling

Here, calling refers to God appointing or choosing people to belong to him and to proclaim his message of salvation through Jesus. Alternate translation: [to appoint you to belong to him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πληρώσῃ πᾶσαν εὐδοκίαν ἀγαθωσύνης, καὶ ἔργον πίστεως ἐν δυνάμει

˓may˒_fulfill (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰς ὅ καί προσευχόμεθα πάντοτε περί ὑμῶν ἵνα ὑμᾶς ἀξιώσῃ τῆς κλήσεως ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν καί πληρώσῃ πασᾶν εὐδοκίαν ἀγαθωσύνης καί ἔργον πίστεως ἐν δυνάμει)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas behind desire, goodness, faith, and power, you can express these ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [he may make you able to do all of the good things that you want to do because you trust in Jesus and because God is powerful] or [he may empower you to act on what you believe in order to do good things in every way that you desire, because God is powerful]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ πληρώσῃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰς ὅ καί προσευχόμεθα πάντοτε περί ὑμῶν ἵνα ὑμᾶς ἀξιώσῃ τῆς κλήσεως ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν καί πληρώσῃ πασᾶν εὐδοκίαν ἀγαθωσύνης καί ἔργον πίστεως ἐν δυνάμει)

Here, and he may fulfill adds another reason why Paul and his associates pray always for the Thessalonian believers. This part of the sentence assumes some of the words from earlier in the sentence. If this would be misunderstood in your language, you could supply these words from the earlier part of the sentence. Alternate translation: [and we also pray so that he may fulfill]
