UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the audience should “exhort one another”(See: 3:13). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason for an exhortation. Alternate translation: [You should do that because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

μέτοχοι & τοῦ Χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν

partakers & ˱of˲_the Messiah ˱we˲_/have/_become

Here the author uses the possessive form to indicate that believers “share” Christ. See how you translated sharers in 3:1. More specifically, sharers of Christ could mean that believers: (1) “share” the promise and the blessings together with Christ. Alternate translation: [we have with Christ shared the blessings] (2) “share” or participate in Christ himself. Alternate translation: [we have shared in Christ] or [we have participated in Christ]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

τοῦ Χριστοῦ & ἐάνπερ

˱of˲_the Messiah & if_indeed

Here the author uses the conditional form to show that “holding firm” leads to being sharers of Christ. If the conditional form does not indicate a cause and effect relationship like this in your language, you could express the if statement in a way that does show the relationship. Alternate translation: [of Christ, given that]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν

confirmed ˱we˲_/may/_retain

Here the author speaks of persistently believing or trusting something as if it were holding firmly onto an object. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the similar idea in 3:6. Alternate translation: [we continue strongly in]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως

the beginning ˱of˲_the assurance

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of confidence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [from the time when we first believed in him]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

μέχρι τέλους

until /the/_end

Here, the phrase the end could: (1) be a polite way of referring to when a person dies. Alternate translation: [until our lives end] (2) refer to the end of the world, when Jesus comes back. Alternate translation: [until Jesus comes back]
