uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here the word For introduces a reason why Timothy should rekindle his gift (1:6). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for an exhortation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [You should do that because] or [I remind you of that because]
