UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces more explanation about why the author is “convinced of things that are better” concerning his audience (6:9). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation. Alternate translation: [I am convinced of this, because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ & ἄδικος ὁ Θεὸς, ἐπιλαθέσθαι

not & unrighteous_‹is› ¬the God /to/_forget

The phrase not unjust is a negative understatement that emphasizes how “just” God is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning positively. If you do, you may need to negate forget. Alternate translation: [God is very just to remember] or [God is just to remember]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς ἀγάπης

˱of˲_the love

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the way that you love]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

toward the name ˱of˲_him

Here, the word name refers to a person’s reputation or honor. In other words, “serving the saints” is something that is “toward God’s name,” which means that it brings him honor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [with regard to his honor] or [that glorifies God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διακονήσαντες τοῖς ἁγίοις καὶ διακονοῦντες

/having/_served ˱unto˲_the holy_‹ones› and serving

Here, the ones who serve are the audience. The author’s point is that they served the saints in the past, and they are still serving the saints in the present. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make these ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: [since you have served the saints in the past and even now]
