OET (OET-LV) And you be_remaining in what things you_learned and you_were_convinced_of, having_known from whom_all you_learned them,

OET (OET-RV) Hold on to the things that you learnt and were convinced are true, because you know you can trust those who taught them to you.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:10–4:8: Paul gave Timothy some more instructions and encouraged him to continue preaching the gospel

In 3:10–4:8 Paul reminded Timothy that Timothy had thoroughly learned true doctrine, so he should continue to preach it faithfully, even if he had to suffer because of it.

3:14a

But as for you, continue in the things you have learned

But as for you: The two Greek words that occur at the beginning of this verse also occurred at the beginning of 3:10a. The literal translation of these words is “but you (sing).” In this context, they clearly contrast Timothy with the evil men and impostors mentioned in 3:13. If your language has a term to indicate a strong contrast, you should use it here.

continue in the things you have learned: This phrase means “continue to believe what you have learned.”

If it is necessary to specify from whom Timothy learned the gospel, you can say “things you have learned from us.” The pronoun should be plural because in Greek, the phrase “from whom” in 3:14c is plural. Timothy learned the gospel from his mother, grandmother, and Paul.

3:14b

and firmly believed,

and firmly believed: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as firmly believed also means “have believed to be true.”

3:14c

since you know from whom you have learned them.

since you know: Implied in the clause you know is “and you can trust” those people who taught the truth about God to you.

from whom you have learned them: The phrase from whom refers to Timothy’s mother, grandmother, and Paul.

them: There is no pronoun here in the Greek text, but it is implied. If in 3:14a you have chosen the word “things,” “truths,” or “teachings” to represent the word “the things” (BSB), you should follow English versions, such as the NASB and REB, and use the plural pronoun “them” here. Or you can repeat the word “things,” “truths,” or “teachings” if it is more natural in your language.

General Comment on 3:14

In some languages, it may be more natural to reorder the parts of this verse as follows:

14cYou know and can trust those from whom you learned the gospel. 14aSo continue to believe what you have learned 14band have been convinced is true.

14cYou know those who have taught you the gospel. 14aSo continue to follow what they taught you. 14bContinue to believe it.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

σὺ δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: σύ Δέ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καί ἐπιστώθης εἰδώς παρά τίνων ἔμαθες)

Here the word But introduces how Timothy should behave 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 that kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [You, however] or [As for you, though]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καὶ ἐπιστώθης, εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνων ἔμαθες

˓be˒_remaining in what_‹things› ˱you˲_learned (Some words not found in SR-GNT: σύ Δέ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καί ἐπιστώθης εἰδώς παρά τίνων ἔμαθες)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [you know from whom you learned what you learned and were convinced of. So, remain in those things, knowing that truth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μένε ἐν

˓be˒_remaining in

Here Paul speaks as if what Timothy learned and was convinced of were places in which Timothy could remain. He means that Timothy should continue to believe and trust those things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [continue to trust] or [maintain]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπιστώθης

˱you˲_˓were˒_convinced_of

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. Alternate translation: [trusted in]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνων ἔμαθες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: σύ Δέ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καί ἐπιστώθης εἰδώς παρά τίνων ἔμαθες)

Here Paul implies that Timothy knows that these people are trustworthy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [knowing that the people from whom you learned are trustworthy]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:14-15 from childhood: Timothy’s Jewish grandmother and mother, Lois and Eunice (see Acts 16:1-3), provided his education in the Old Testament Scriptures (see 2 Tim 1:5), and their lives reinforced their teaching.
• The Old Testament Scriptures give the wisdom to receive . . . Christ Jesus. In turn, Jesus Christ is needed to understand the Old Testament Scriptures fully.
