TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:6 Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians from Corinth just after Timothy returned from Thessalonica (3:2, 5; Acts 18:5). Timothy’s report provided good news about the Thessalonians’ faith and love, steadfastness (1 Thes 3:8), and hope (see also 5:8; 2 Thes 1:3-4).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces what actually happened in contrast to what Paul was worried about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that contrasts a concern with what actually happened. Alternate translation: [Despite my fears,] or [But here is what really happened:]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

ἄρτι

now

Here, the phrase just now introduces the event that prompted Paul to write this letter, 1 Thessalonians. When Paul writes that Timothy returned just now, he is referring to the time immediately before he began writing this letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that happened right before a person starts speaking about it. Alternate translation: [just before I started writing this letter,] or [a short while ago,]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

πρὸς ἡμᾶς & ἡμῖν & ἡμῶν & ἡμᾶς & ἡμεῖς

to us & ˱to˲_us & ˱of˲_us & us & we

Every time the words us or we appear in this verse, they include Paul and Silvanus, but they do not include Timothy or the Thessalonians, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην ὑμῶν

˱about˲_the faith and the love ˱of˲_you_all

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of faith and love, you could express the same ideas in another way. Paul implies that the faith is in God and love is for other people. Alternate translation: [that you continue to believe in God and love other people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔχετε μνείαν ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴν πάντοτε

˱you_all˲_˓are˒_having ˓a˒_mentioning ˱of˲_us good always

Here, the clause you always have good memory of us indicates that the Thessalonians remembered Paul and his fellow workers as people whom they liked and would want to meet again. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable clause or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you always have pleasant memories about us] or [you always remember us fondly]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπιποθοῦντες

longing

Here, the word longing could introduce: (1) another thing that the Thessalonians do. If you use the following alternate translation, you should delete the comma before longing. Alternate translation: [and that you long] (2) a result of the kind of memory that the Thessalonians have. Alternate translation: [so that you long]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς

and and and also we you_all

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [we also long to see you]
