uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-blessing

ὁ Κύριος μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς μετά τοῦ πνεύματος σοῦ Ἡ χάρις μεθʼ ὑμῶν)

As was customary in his culture, Paul closes his letter with a blessing for Timothy. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: [May the Lord be with your spirit] or [I pray that the Lord will be with your spirit]

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

ὁ Κύριος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς μετά τοῦ πνεύματος σοῦ Ἡ χάρις μεθʼ ὑμῶν)

Many ancient manuscripts read The Lord. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “The Lord Jesus Christ.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς μετά τοῦ πνεύματος σοῦ Ἡ χάρις μεθʼ ὑμῶν)

Paul is using spirit to represent Timothy as a whole person. He may use this figure of speech to indicate that the Lord will be with Timothy in a spiritual way, not a physical way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [be with you spiritually]

Note 4 topic: translate-blessing

ἡ χάρις μεθ’ ὑμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς μετά τοῦ πνεύματος σοῦ Ἡ χάρις μεθʼ ὑμῶν)

As was customary in his culture, Paul closes his letter with a blessing for Timothy and the believers with him. He implies that the Grace is from God. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: [May you experience kindness from God within you] or [I pray that you will have grace from God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ χάρις μεθ’ ὑμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς μετά τοῦ πνεύματος σοῦ Ἡ χάρις μεθʼ ὑμῶν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [May God act graciously toward you]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / you

ὑμῶν

you_all

Because Paul gives this blessing to Timothy and all the believers who are with him, this is the only place in the letter where you is plural.
