Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀπὸ βρέφους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὅτι ἀπό βρέφους τά ἱερά γράμματα οἶδας τά δυνάμενα σέ σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διά πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ)

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 (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὅτι ἀπό βρέφους τά ἱερά γράμματα οἶδας τά δυνάμενα σέ σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διά πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of salvation and faith, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [so that you are saved through believing 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]
