Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:18-38 Paul’s address to the elders of the church of Ephesus is a testimony regarding his life and ministry in Ephesus, calling for similar dedication from the leaders who would carry on the ministry. The sermon highlights Paul’s integrity and pastoral care (20:18-21, 26, 31), speaks about the future (20:22-23, 25, 29-30), warns against false teachers (20:29-30), and exhorts the elders to be watchful and faithful (20:28, 31). Paul modeled sacrificial, conscientious, servant leadership.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ὡς οὐδὲν ὑπεστειλάμην τῶν συμφερόντων τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν

how nothing ˱I˲_shrunk_back ˱of˲_the_‹things› benefitting ¬which not /to/_declare ˱to˲_you_all

Paul says nothing here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “how I did not withhold things that would be useful and not declare them to you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ὡς οὐδὲν ὑπεστειλάμην τῶν συμφερόντων τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν

how nothing ˱I˲_shrunk_back ˱of˲_the_‹things› benefitting ¬which not /to/_declare ˱to˲_you_all

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative word nothing and the negative particle not. Alternate translation: “how I eagerly brought forth everything that would be useful so that I could declare it to you”
