OET interlinear 2TIM 1:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

εἰς ὃ

to which

Here, the pronoun which refers back to “the gospel” in the previous verse. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to “the gospel” more directly. Alternate translation: “for which gospel”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐτέθην ἐγὼ

/was/_appointed I

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “God appointed me”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

κῆρυξ

/a/_proclaimer

A herald is someone who is sent out to announce a message. If your readers would not be familiar with a person who performs this kind of task, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translations: “an announcer” or “a messenger”

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

διδάσκαλος

/a/_teacher

Many ancient manuscripts read a teacher. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “a teacher of the Gentiles.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
