1:9 When Paul uses the phrase with all my heart (or in my spirit), he might be describing the influence of God’s Holy Spirit on his own inner person. The word spirit also refers to the deepest part of a person, which the phrase all my heart expresses well.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γάρ
for
For indicates that what follows is the reason why Paul could say in the previous verse that he thanks God for the Roman believers. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “You can be sure this is true because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
μάρτυς & μού ἐστιν ὁ Θεός, ᾧ λατρεύω ἐν τῷ πνεύματί μου ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἀδιαλείπτως μνείαν ὑμῶν ποιοῦμαι
witness & ˱of˲_me is ¬the God ˱unto˲_whom ˱I˲_/am/_serving in the spirit ˱of˲_me in the gospel ˱of˲_the Son ˱of˲_him how unceasingly mentioning ˱of˲_you_all ˱I˲_/am/_making
If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses and make a new sentence, if you need to do so. Alternate translation: “God is my witness how I continually make mention of you. I serve him in my spirit in the gospel of his Son”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
μάρτυς & μού & ᾧ λατρεύω ἐν τῷ πνεύματί μου ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ
witness & ˱of˲_me & ˱unto˲_whom ˱I˲_/am/_serving in the spirit ˱of˲_me in the gospel ˱of˲_the Son ˱of˲_him
This phrase gives further information about God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the relationship between these phrases clearer. Alternate translation: “my witness, and I serve him in my spirit in the gospel of his Son”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μάρτυς & μού
witness & ˱of˲_me
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of witness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the one who testifies about me”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν τῷ πνεύματί μου
in the spirit ˱of˲_me
Here, spirit refers to the inner person, which is what a person thinks and feels. Paul means that he serves God with complete devotion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternative translation: “with my whole heart” or “wholeheartedly”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ
in the in the gospel
Here, in indicates the means by which Paul served God and gospel refers specifically to proclaiming the gospel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “by proclaiming the gospel”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ
in the in the gospel ˱of˲_the Son ˱of˲_him
Paul is using the possessive form to describe the gospel that is about God’s Son. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “in the gospel about his Son”
Note 8 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Υἱοῦ
Son
Son is an important title for Jesus, the Son of God.
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ἀδιαλείπτως
unceasingly
Here, continually is an exaggeration that emphasizes how frequently Paul prayed for the church at Rome. Paul does not mean that he spends all of his time praying for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use plain language and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “I regularly” or “I habitually”
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
μνείαν ὑμῶν ποιοῦμαι
mentioning ˱of˲_you_all ˱I˲_/am/_making
Here, making mention is an idiom for praying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “I am … praying for you”
