SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:3–18: Paul encouraged Timothy to continue doing the work that God gave him to do

Paragraph 1:15–18

In this paragraph Paul temporarily stopped giving instructions to Timothy and wrote about several people whom he had previously considered to be his friends. It is probable that these people lived in the province of Asia and that Timothy knew them. Paul contrasted a faithful friend named Onesiphorus with the people who had abandoned him.

1:17a

Indeed, when he arrived in Rome,

Instead, when he came to Rome,

Indeed: The word that the BSB translates as Indeed is the Greek conjunction alla. It expresses a strong contrast between 1:16c and 1:17. Other English words that express this contrast are “rather” or “instead.”

Rome: Rome was the capital city of the Roman Empire. Paul was still in prison in the city of Rome at the time he wrote this letter to Timothy.

1:17b

he searched diligently until he found me.

he searched eagerly/diligently for me in many places until he found me.
he exerted himself in searching for me until he discovered where I was.

he searched diligently until he found me: Onesiphorus wanted very much to find Paul. Apparently it was very difficult for him to find the prison where Paul was. He spent a long time searching, and probably walked long distances to various places in Rome, for it was a large city.

General Comment on 1:16–17

Onesiphorus would have arrived in Rome first (17a), then searched for and found Paul (17b), and only then refreshed him (16b). In some languages it may be necessary to reorder these verses. One way to do this is:

^17aWhen Onesiphorus arrived in Rome ^17bhe searched eagerly for me until he found me. ^16bHe often refreshed me ^16cand was not ashamed of me because I was in prison. ^16aTherefore, may the Lord do much good to Onesiphorus and his family.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἀλλὰ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀλλά γενόμενος ἐν Ῥώμῃ σπουδαίως ἐζήτησεν μέ καί εὗρεν)

Here the word but introduces what Onesiphorus did instead of being ashamed of Paul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave but untranslated. Alternate translation: [but instead,] or [and rather,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν Ῥώμῃ

in Rome

Here Paul implies that he was in prison in Rome. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [in Rome, where I am,]
