UTN uW Translation Notes:

ἀπέχω & πάντα

˱I˲_˓am˒_receiving_fully & all_‹things›

The phrase I have all things in full could mean: (1) that Paul has received all things that he needs from the Philippian believers and is therefore sufficiently supplied. Alternate translation: [I have everything I need and am content] (2) that Paul is continuing the business metaphor from [Philippians 4:17](../04/17.md) and is here offering the Philippians a figurative receipt for the gifts they gave him. Alternate translation: [I have received the gift that you sent]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περισσεύω

˱I˲_˓am˒_abounding

The phrase I abound means that Paul has more than enough of the things that he needs for himself. If it would be helpful in your language, consider stating this explicitly. Alternate translation: [I have more than enough of the things I need]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πεπλήρωμαι, δεξάμενος παρὰ Ἐπαφροδίτου τὰ παρ’ ὑμῶν

˱I˲_˓have_been˒_filled ˓having˒_received from Epaphroditus the_‹things› from you_all

Connecting Statement:

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express the phrase I have been filled with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: [You have fully provided for me by giving me the things which Epaphroditus brought to me]

Note 3 topic: translate-names

Ἐπαφροδίτου

Epaphroditus

Epaphroditus is the name of a man. See how you translated his name in [Philippians 2:25](../02/25.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, θυσίαν δεκτήν, εὐάρεστον τῷ Θεῷ

˓an˒_aroma ˱of˲_˓a˒_sweet_fragrance ˓a˒_sacrifice acceptable well_pleasing ¬the ˱to˲_God

Here Paul speaks of the gift from the Philippian believers as if it were a sacrifice offered to God on an altar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this phrase by stating the meaning using plain language. Alternate translation: [which are very pleasing to God] or [which make God happy] or [which I assure you are gifts very pleasing to God, like an acceptable sacrifice]
