OET interlinear 2TIM 3:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

σὺ δὲ

you and

Here the word But introduces how Timothy behaves in contrast to how the false teachers behave. 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: “You, however,” or “As for you, though, you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σὺ & παρηκολούθησάς

you & followed

Here Paul speaks as if Timothy followed the things that Paul has done and experienced. He means that Timothy has paid attention to these things and imitates how Paul does and experiences them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you have observed and emulated” or “you have modeled your behavior on”
