ULT the ones indeed from love having understood that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel,

UST 15-17 15-17Some people are proclaiming the good news about the Messiah because they want to obey God and because they love me and others.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξ ἀγάπης

out_of (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ ἐξ ἐριθείας τὸν Χριστὸν καταγγέλλουσιν οὐχ ἁγνῶς οἰόμενοι θλῖψιν ἐγείρειν τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου)

Here the object of the word love is not specified. You can leave the object of love unspecified or, if it is needed in your language, you may specify the object of love. Here, the word love could refer to: (1) love for Paul. Alternate translation: “because of their love for me” (2) love for Christ. Alternate translation: “The ones who proclaim the good news because they love Christ” (3) love for multiple objects, such as Paul and Christ and those who have not yet heard or believed in the gospel. Alternate translation: “The ones who proclaim the good news because of their love for me, and Jesus, and those who do not believe”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κεῖμαι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ ἐξ ἐριθείας τὸν Χριστὸν καταγγέλλουσιν οὐχ ἁγνῶς οἰόμενοι θλῖψιν ἐγείρειν τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου)

You could state the phrase I am appointed in active form. Alternate translation: “God appointed me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς ἀπολογίαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου

Paul is speaking of the gospel as though it were a place or person that could be attacked. If this is confusing in your language, you can use plain language. See how you translated “defense and confirmation of the gospel” in 1:7. Alternate translation: “to prove that the message about Jesus is true”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς ἀπολογίαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου κεῖμαι

The phrase I am appointed could refer to: (1) God appointing Paul’s current situation of being in prison. Alternate translation: “I am assigned to be here for the defense of the gospel” (2) God appointing Paul to the ministry of defending the gospel. Alternate translation: “God has delegated me to the ministry of publicly defending the truth of the good news”

ἀπολογίαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου

See how you translated the phrase “defense and confirmation of the gospel” in 1:7.
