UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a longer explanation of the “entrance” that Paul and his fellow workers had among the Thessalonians (see 1:9). This explanation is found in 2:1–12. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation of a previous statement. Alternate translation: “Concerning our entrance to you,” or “Now about your visit,”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοὶ & οἴδατε

yourselves & ˱you_all˲_/have/_known

For emphasis, Paul is stating the pronoun you, which is already implied in the verb know. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun yourselves. Alternate translation: “as for you, you know” or “it is you who know”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν εἴσοδον ἡμῶν τὴν πρὸς ὑμᾶς

the entrance ˱of˲_us ¬which to you_all

Here, just as in 1:9, Paul refers to his and his fellow workers’ visit to the Thessalonians as an entrance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “that our visit with you” or “that our time with you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ κενὴ γέγονεν

not vain ˱it˲_/has/_become

Paul is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning, in vain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “has definitely been worthwhile” or “has been very useful”
