OET interlinear 2TIM 2:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

διὰ τοῦτο, πάντα ὑπομένω

because_of this all_‹things› ˱I˲_/am/_enduring

The pronoun this could refer to: (1) what Paul said in the previous verse about how God’s word is not bound. Alternate translation: “Because God’s word has not been bound, I endure all things” (2) what Paul is about to say about the elect and their salvation. Alternate translation: “Here is why I endure all things:”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντα ὑπομένω

all_‹things› ˱I˲_/am/_enduring

Paul says all here as an overstatement to emphasize that he endures every bad thing that happens to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “I endure all of these sufferings” or “I endure many things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς

the chosen_‹ones›

Paul is using the adjective elect as a noun to mean people whom God has chosen. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the elect people” or “those who have been chosen”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

καὶ αὐτοὶ σωτηρίας τύχωσιν τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

also they ˱of˲_salvation /may/_obtain ¬which in Christ Jesus

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “they also may be saved, which happens in Christ Jesus”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

¬which in Christ Jesus

Here Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe the union of believers with Christ Jesus. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ Jesus, is the only way in which believers obtain salvation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that believers obtain salvation as part of their union with Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: “that is received in union with Christ Jesus” or “that they have because they are united to Christ Jesus”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μετὰ δόξης αἰωνίου

with glory eternal

Here the phrase with eternal glory could refer to glory: (1) that goes along with salvation. Alternate translation: “along with eternal glory” (2) that characterizes salvation. Alternate translation: “salvation that has eternal glory”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ δόξης αἰωνίου

with glory eternal

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Be sure that your translation fits with the option you chose in the previous note. Alternate translation: “and they will live gloriously forever” or “along with being eternally great”
