˱we˲_/have/_persuaded and
The phrase We are also confident may be confusing in some languages. If that is the case in your language, you could translate this as a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [We also have faith] or [We also trust]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πεποίθαμεν δὲ ἐν Κυρίῳ ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς
˱we˲_/have/_persuaded and in /the/_Lord to you_all
This could mean: (1) Paul has confidence in the Thessalonian believers because of the close relationship that they have with the Lord Jesus. In this case, Paul is speaking of this relationship as if they were inside the Lord Jesus. Alternate translation: [Because you are united to the Lord, we are also confident] (2) Paul has confidence in the Lord Jesus, that he will cause them to do what is right. Alternate translation: [Because we trust in the Lord Jesus to enable you, we are also confident]
3:1-5 Before taking up the final topic of the letter (3:6-15), Paul requests prayer (3:1-2) and assures the Thessalonians of God’s providence in troubles (3:3-5).
