UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

πρῶτον μὲν εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ περὶ πάντων ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν καταγγέλλεται ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ.

first indeed ˱I˲_/am/_giving_thanks ˱to˲_the God ˱of˲_me through Jesus Christ for all ˱of˲_you_all because the faith ˱of˲_you_all /is_being/_proclaimed in all the world

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “Because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world, I first want to thank my God through Jesus Christ”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

πρῶτον μὲν

first indeed

First here indicates that Paul has finished his introduction to the letter, and what follows is the beginning of the content of the letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “The first thing I want to say is”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῷ Θεῷ μου

˱to˲_the God ˱of˲_me

Paul is using the possessive form my God to express that he belongs to God. Paul does not mean that he owns God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the God I belong to” or “the God that owns me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν

the faith ˱of˲_you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the way you trust in Christ”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν καταγγέλλεται

the faith ˱of˲_you_all /is_being/_proclaimed

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. The context indicates that other believers are proclaiming how great the faith of the Roman believers is. Alternate translation: “other people are proclaiming your faith”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ

in all the world

Here, the whole world is an exaggeration that refers to all the parts of the world that were familiar to Paul and his readers, particularly the Roman Empire. Paul is not referring to every place on the planet. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “across the known world” or “wherever the Roman Empire is”
