Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
1:3-11 Following his usual practice, Paul thanks God for the recipients and prays for them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τὰ διαφέροντα
in_order that /to_be/_approving you_all the_‹things› carrying_value
The word what here refers to that which a person does, and the word excels here refers to something that is best, according to God. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state these things explicitly. Alternate translation: “so that you may approve and choose to do what pleases God the most”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
εἰς
in_order
Here, the phrase so that shows that what follows this phrase is the desired result of Paul’s prayer in verse nine. Consider using a connecting word or phrase that will clearly show that what follows it is the desired result of what Paul prayed in verse nine.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
εἰλικρινεῖς καὶ ἀπρόσκοποι
sincere and inoffensive
The words pure and blameless have very similar meanings. Paul uses these two words together to emphasize the idea of moral purity. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these two words and translate them as one idea. Alternate translation: “completely innocent”
