SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–16: Paul told Timothy how to teach the believers

In this section, Paul warned Timothy against people who were teaching false doctrines. They were teaching that believers should not marry and that there were certain kinds of food that they should not eat. Paul told Timothy several things that he should do to oppose the errors of the false teachers. For example:

  1. He should teach correct doctrines (4:11).

  2. He should be a good example to others (4:12b).

  3. He should read aloud the Scriptures to encourage the believers to obey them (4:13b).

Paul wanted Timothy to continue to do these things and not become discouraged.

Paragraph 4:11–16

In this paragraph Paul told Timothy how to convince people to accept his teaching, even though he was young. He told Timothy to be a good example for the other believers (4:12b). He told him to read the Scriptures to people and to teach them (4:13b). He also told Timothy to use the gift that God had given him (4:14a). This gift was the ability that God had given him to teach and to lead other people. Paul also told Timothy to keep progressing spiritually (4:15c), and to persevere (4:16b).Adapted from Stott, pages 120–125.

4:15a

Be diligent in these matters

Be diligent: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Be diligent means to pay attention to something and to do it earnestly, with enthusiasm and energy. It means the opposite of “neglect.” See the note on 4:14a.

these matters: Paul was referring to all the things that he had written about in 4:11–14.

4:15b

and absorbed in them,

and absorbed in them: The Greek expression that the BSB translates as absorbed in them literally means “devote yourself to them” (4:13b). Paul used this expression to emphasize how important his instructions to Timothy were.

4:15c

so that your progress will be evident to all.

so that: The Greek word that the BSB translates as so that connects 4:15c with 4:15a–b. In 4:15c, Paul explained the reason that Timothy should obey Paul’s instruction in 4:14a–b. The reason was so that other believers would see how he was progressing spiritually.

your progress: Paul expected people to see Timothy’s progress, but he did not say what he meant by progress. Paul was probably thinking about progress in Timothy’s faith, and he probably expected Timothy to be able to use his gift better (4:14a).

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, the phrase these things could refer to the instructions that Paul has given in [4:11–14](../04/11.md), [4:6–14](../04/06.md), or the whole letter so far. Since Paul used a general phrase, if possible you should use a general phrase that could refer to any of these sections. Alternate translation: [what I have said to you] or [these instructions]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι

in these_‹things› be

Here Paul speaks as if Timothy could physically be inside the instructions he has given to Timothy. He means that Timothy always needs to focus on and perform these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [be absorbed by them] or [follow them consistently]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σου ἡ προκοπὴ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ταῦτα Μελέτα ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι ἵνα σοῦ ἡ προκοπή φανερά ᾖ πᾶσιν)

Here Paul implies that Timothy’s progress will be in his Christian life and ministry. In other words, he will have progress as he believes in Jesus, learns more about the gospel, and serves others using his gift. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [your progress in your Christian life] or [your progress as a believer]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

σου ἡ προκοπὴ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ταῦτα Μελέτα ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι ἵνα σοῦ ἡ προκοπή φανερά ᾖ πᾶσιν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of progress, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [how you are progressing] or [how you are improving]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πᾶσιν

˱to˲_all

Paul is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all people, or perhaps more specifically all believers. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [to all people] or [to all believers]
