UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, the phrase so that could introduce: (1) the result of doing what Paul has commanded in 4:10–11. Alternate translation: “with the result that” (2) the purpose of doing what Paul has commanded in 4:10–11. Alternate translation: “in order that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

περιπατῆτε

˱you_all˲_/may_be/_walking

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: “you may act” or “you may live your lives”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τοὺς ἔξω

the_‹ones› outside

Here, the phrase the ones outside identifies people who do not belong to the group of believers in Thessalonica. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea with a word or phrase that refers to people who do not belong to a specific group. Alternate translation: “the outsiders” or “the unbelievers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μηδενὸς

˱of˲_nothing

Here word translated nothing could refer: (1) to things. In this case, Paul wants them to have everything that they need. Alternate translation: “of no essential things” (2) to people. In this case, Paul wants them to be independent and not rely on other people to provide for them. Alternate translation: “of nobody” or “of support from no person”
