εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

blessed_‹is› the God and Father ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “May we always praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Note 2 topic: translate-blessing

εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

blessed_‹is› the God and Father ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

After blessing the recipients of his letter, Paul adds a blessing to God. If your people would consider it strange for people to bless God, then translate it as praise, since that is what we do when we bless God. Alternate translation: “May we always praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ

the God and Father

Father is an important title for God. Both God and Father refer to God. This phrase could mean (1) God is both God and Father to our Lord Jesus, or (2) God is Father to our Lord Jesus. Alternate translation: “God, who is the Father”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ὁ Πατὴρ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν καὶ Θεὸς πάσης παρακλήσεως

the the Father ¬the ˱of˲_compassions and God ˱of˲_all comfort

Here, the possessive form describes mercies and all comfort as coming from God, who is their source. Both Father and God are the same person. Alternate translation: “the Father who is the source of mercies and the God who is the source of all comfort”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὁ Πατὴρ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν καὶ Θεὸς πάσης παρακλήσεως

the the Father ¬the ˱of˲_compassions and God ˱of˲_all comfort

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of mercies and comfort, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “the Father who is merciful and the God who always comforts his people”

πάσης παρακλήσεως

˱of˲_all comfort

Here, all could refer to: (1) time. Alternate translation: “who always comforts his people” (2) quantity. Alternate translation: “from whom every instance of comforting comes”
