TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Living for Christ

From prison Paul writes, “To me, living means living for Christ” (1:21). Why are believers called to devote their lives to Christ?

1. Believers acknowledge that they owe everything to Christ, including their salvation. Devoting their life to his service expresses their eternal indebtedness and gratitude (see Rom 12:1).

2. Believers acknowledge Christ as their master and Lord and submit to Christ’s rule in their lives. They recognize that they belong to the Lord and no longer live simply for themselves (see Rom 14:7-9; 2 Cor 5:14-15).

3. Believers now share in Christ’s death and resurrection—they have died to themselves and have risen with him (see Rom 6:3-14; cp. Gal 2:19-20). They have a new identity in Christ (Rom 8:14-17; Eph 1:11, 14; Phil 3:20).

4. Believers recognize that everything of value is found in Christ. Things of the world that once seemed important have lost their attraction; nothing compares to the infinite value of knowing Christ (Phil 3:7-11; Eph 1:3–3:21; Col 1:15–3:4).

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀποκαραδοκίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα

eager_expectation and hope

Both eager expectation and hope have similar meanings and together express a single idea. Paul uses these two words together to emphasize the strength of his expectation. If you have a single word or phrase in your language which expresses the meaning of these two words, consider using that to express the strength of the hope in another way. Alternate translation: “sincere expectation” or “sure hope”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ τὴν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα μου

according_to the eager_expectation and hope ˱of˲_me

Both expectation and hope are abstract nouns. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express them together in a verb phrase. Alternate translation: “because I fully believe”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν τῷ σώματί μου

in in in the body ˱of˲_me

Here, the phrase in my body is used to mean the activities that Paul does with his body. Paul speaks of his body because it was with his earthly body that he would serve God on earth until he died, as he explains in more detail in 1:22–24. Alternate translation: “in everything that I do”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ἐν οὐδενὶ αἰσχυνθήσομαι, ἀλλ’

in nothing ˱I˲_/will_be_being/_ashamed but

If the double-negative phrase in nothing be ashamed would be confusing in your language, you could translate it in a positive way. Alternate translation: “I will always do the right thing and”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ

in in all boldness

If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun boldness with a similar adverb. Alternate translation: “always act boldly”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἴτε διὰ ζωῆς εἴτε διὰ θανάτου

whether by life or by death

If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the ideas behind the abstract nouns life and death with their verbal forms. Alternate translation: “whether I live or I die”
