Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [believing and having]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀγαθὴν συνείδησιν

/a/_good conscience

A conscience that is good is one that does not convict a person of doing anything wrong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this phrase in 1:5. Alternate translation: [a clean conscience] or [a conscience that is not guilty]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ἥν

which

Here, the pronoun which could refer: (1) just to good conscience. Alternate translation: [which conscience] (2) to both good conscience and faith. Alternate translation: [both of which]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

Paul is using the adjective some as a noun to mean some people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [some men and women]

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν

concerning their faith ˱they˲_suffered_shipwreck

Here Paul refers to how ships that sailed on the ocean could break apart or sink. When this happened, people had to try to survive in the water or swim to shore.

περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν

Alternate translation: [have wrecked regarding their faith] or [have destroyed their faith]
