OET interlinear 1TIM 1:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ὧν

˱from˲_which

The pronoun which refers to the pure heart, good conscience, and sincere faith in 1:5. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to those things more directly. Alternate translation: “from which things” or “from which heart, conscience, and faith”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀστοχήσαντες

/having/_deviated

Paul speaks as if a pure heart, good conscience, and sincere faith were a mark or target that some people have missed. Paul means that these people have failed to attain those things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “not having gained those things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξετράπησαν εἰς

/were/_turned_away to

Here Paul speaks of abandoning what is good to focus on foolish talk as if it were turning away from those good things to foolish talk. He means that these people have stopped pursuing the good things that Paul mentioned in the previous verse and instead are focusing on things of little consequence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have deviated and focused on” or “have been distracted by”
