OET interlinear 1TIM 1:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πορευόμενος εἰς Μακεδονίαν

going to Macedonia

Here Paul could be implying that, when he previously urged Timothy to remain in Ephesus, he was: (1) in Ephesus with Timothy and was about to leave for Macedonia. Alternate translation: “being about to leave Ephesus for Macedonia” (2) already on his way to Macedonia. In this case, Paul would be referring to a letter he had previously written to Timothy. Alternate translation: “being on my way to Macedonia”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

πορευόμενος

going

In a context such as this, your language might say “coming” instead of going. Alternate translation: “coming”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σε

you

In this letter, with one exception, the words you, “your,” and “yourself” refer to Timothy and so are singular. A note will discuss the one exception in 6:21.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖν

/to_be/_teaching_differently

The implication is that these people were teaching different things than what Paul and Timothy taught, not that they were teaching in a different way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to teach what is different from what we teach” or “to teach a different doctrine”
