UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation of what Paul has said in 4:7–14. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “In fact,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰ & πάντα δι’ ὑμᾶς

the_‹things› & all_‹are› because_of you_all

Here, the phrase all these things refers to everything that Paul and his fellow workers do and experience as they preach the gospel, including their sufferings (See: 4:7–12) and the message that they preach (See: 4:13–14). If it would be helpful in your language, you make the idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “everything I have described is for your sake” or “everything I have referred to is for your sake”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ χάρις

the grace

Here Paul implies that the grace comes from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “grace from God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ χάρις

the grace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “gracious.” Alternate translation: “how God is gracious”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τῶν πλειόνων

through ¬the more

Here, the phrase through more and more could indicate that: (1) the grace increases by being received by more people. Alternate translation: “among more and more people” (2) the grace increases because God uses more situations and experiences to spread the gospel. Alternate translation: “by means of more and more service”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν εὐχαριστίαν περισσεύσῃ εἰς τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

the thanksgiving /may/_abound to the glory ¬the ˱of˲_God

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

εἰς τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

to the glory ¬the ˱of˲_God
