UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows emphasizes the importance of the scriptural quotation in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [In fact,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὅσα & προεγράφη & ἐγράφη

as_much_as & /was/_previously_written & /was/_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [whatever the prophets wrote previously, they wrote]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅσα & προεγράφη

as_much_as & /was/_previously_written

Paul is referring to what was previously written in the Scriptures. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [what was previously written in the Scriptures]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

εἰς & ἵνα

for & in_order_that

Here, for and in order that indicate that what follows are purposes for the Scriptures. Use the natural form in your language for indicating purpose clauses. Alternate translation: [for the purpose of … for the purpose that]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν διδασκαλίαν

for ¬the our teaching

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of instruction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [for instructing us]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἵνα διὰ τῆς ὑπομονῆς καὶ διὰ τῆς παρακλήσεως τῶν Γραφῶν, τὴν ἐλπίδα ἔχωμεν

in_order_that through ¬the endurance and through the exhortation ˱of˲_the Scriptures ¬the hope ˱we˲_/may_be/_having

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: [in order that we would have the hope through the patience and through the encouragement of the Scriptures]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς ὑπομονῆς & τῆς παρακλήσεως & τὴν ἐλπίδα

¬the endurance & the exhortation & ¬the hope

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of patience, encouragement, and hope, you could express the same ideas in another way. See how you translated patience in 2:4, encouragement in 12:8, and hope in 5:4.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

διὰ τῆς ὑπομονῆς καὶ διὰ τῆς παρακλήσεως τῶν Γραφῶν

through ¬the endurance and through the exhortation ˱of˲_the Scriptures

Here Paul speaks about the Scriptures as if they were a person who could have patience and be encouraging. He means that God uses the Scriptures to show his patience and encouragement. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [through the patience and through the encouragement that God gives in the Scriptures]
