UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρακαλοῦντες ὑμᾶς, καὶ παραμυθούμενοι, καὶ μαρτυρόμενοι

exhorting you_all and consoling and testifying

Here, the words exhorting, encouraging, and testifying describe ways in which Paul and his fellow workers acted like fathers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “by exhorting you and encouraging you and testifying to you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

παρακαλοῦντες ὑμᾶς, καὶ παραμυθούμενοι

exhorting you_all and consoling

The terms exhorting and encouraging mean similar things. Paul is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “exhorting you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μαρτυρόμενοι

testifying

Here Paul could be implying that he and his fellow workers testify: (1) about how believers should behave. Alternate translation: “testifying about proper behavior” (2) to the truth of the good news. Alternate translation: “testifying to the truth of the gospel”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς τὸ περιπατεῖν ὑμᾶς

in_order that /to_be/_walking you_all

Paul speaks of behavior in life as if it were walking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in order that you might act” or “in order that you might live your lives”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἀξίως τοῦ Θεοῦ

worthily ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe what God considers to be worthy. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in a way that honors God” or “in a way that God considers worthy”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς

¬the the_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: παρακαλοῦντες ὑμᾶς καὶ παραμυθούμενοι καὶ μαρτυρόμενοι εἰς τὸ περιπατεῖν ὑμᾶς ἀξίως τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ καλέσαντος ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ βασιλείαν καὶ δόξαν)

Here Paul is adding more information about God. He is not distinguishing between different gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that clearly adds information instead of distinguishing between people. Alternate translation: “who is the one calling you”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ βασιλείαν καὶ δόξαν

in_order into the ˱of˲_himself kingdom and glory

Here, the phrase kingdom and glory could refer: (1) to two distinct things that God calls his people to participate in. Alternate translation: “into his own kingdom and his own glory” (2) to one thing described with two words connected by and. This is called hendiadys. Alternate translation: “into his own glorious kingdom”
