UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀργυρίου, ἢ χρυσίου, ἢ ἱματισμοῦ, οὐδενὸς ἐπεθύμησα

˱of˲_silver or gold or clothing ˱of˲_no_one ˱I˲_coveted

The implication is that Paul did not desire any of these things and did not try to get them by charging for his ministry to the Ephesians. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I did not insist on being paid for my work” or “I did not try to become wealthy by teaching you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ἀργυρίου, ἢ χρυσίου, ἢ ἱματισμοῦ, οὐδενὸς ἐπεθύμησα

˱of˲_silver or gold or clothing ˱of˲_no_one ˱I˲_coveted

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative phrase no one and the negative word coveted. Alternate translation: “I served you freely”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀργυρίου, ἢ χρυσίου

˱of˲_silver or gold

Paul is referring to money by association with the way, in this culture, people used silver and gold as money. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the money”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

ἀργυρίου, ἢ χρυσίου, ἢ ἱματισμοῦ

˱of˲_silver or gold or clothing

In this culture, owning expensive clothing was a way of storing and displaying wealth. Paul is referring to wealth by naming two of its major components. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the wealth”
