UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

John is using word translated as For to introduce the reason for what he said at the end of the previous verse. Use a connector in your language that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “I know that your soul prospers because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφῶν

/the/_brothers

John is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. In this case, these brothers were probably all male. Alternate translation: “fellow believers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς

you in /the/_truth /are/_walking

Here, walking on a path is a metaphor for how a person lives his life. Alternate translation: “you are living your life according to God’s truth”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀληθείᾳ & ἀληθείᾳ

truth & /the/_truth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. The UST models one way to do this.
