UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

κοπιῶ, ἀγωνιζόμενος

˱I˲_/am/_laboring striving

The words labor and striving mean very similar things. The repetition emphasizes how hard Paul works. If your language does not use repetition in this way or has only one word for this concept, you could use just one word and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “work hard” or “labor greatly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τὴν ἐνέργειαν αὐτοῦ, τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἐμοὶ

the working ˱of˲_him ¬which working in me

The word working is repeated here to emphasize God’s activity in Paul that enables him to do what he does. If your language does not use repetition in this way, you could just use the word once and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “his constant working in me” or “how he greatly enables me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν αὐτοῦ, τὴν ἐνεργουμένην

according_to the working ˱of˲_him ¬which working

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind working, you could express the idea with a verb. Alternate translation: “according to how God works, who works”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν δυνάμει

in in power

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind power, you could express the idea with an adjective or adverb. Alternate translation: “in powerful ways”
