Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀπὸ βρέφους
from /a/_baby
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of childhood, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “since you were an infant”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
to salvation through faith ¬which in Christ Jesus

Note 3 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. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ Jesus, explains how Timothy can have faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that Timothy can have faith as one who has been united to Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: “that you have in your union with Christ Jesus” or “that comes from being united to Christ Jesus”
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.
