OET (OET-RV) To Titos, my true son due to our common faith. May God the father and our saviour Yeshua the messiah give you grace and peace.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
γνησίῳ τέκνῳ
/my/_genuine child
Though Titus was not Paul’s biological son, they share a common faith in Christ. Paul considers relationship to Christ through faith to be more important than biological relationship. Thus, because of their relative ages and shared faith in Christ, Paul considers Titus as his own son. It may also be that Paul led Titus to faith in Christ, and so Titus is like a son in this spiritual sense. Alternate translation: “like a son to me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
κατὰ κοινὴν πίστιν
according_to /our/_common faith
Paul and Titus both share the same faith in Christ. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “because we both trust in Jesus Christ”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
χάρις καὶ εἰρήνη
grace and peace
This was a common greeting Paul used. He is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “May you experience grace and peace”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
χάρις καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν
grace and peace from God /the/_Father and Christ Jesus the Savior ˱of˲_us
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of Grace and peace, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior be gracious to you and give you a peaceful spirit”
Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν
Christ Jesus the Savior ˱of˲_us
Alternate translation: “Christ Jesus who is our Savior”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῶν
˱of˲_us
