UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Σιλουανὸς

Silvanus

Silvanus is the Latin form of “Silas.” Silvanus is the name of a man, the same person listed in the book of Acts as Paul’s fellow traveler. If your readers may not know that these two are the same person, you could use the name “Silas” in the text and “Silvanus” in the footnote.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

Παῦλος, καὶ Σιλουανὸς, καὶ Τιμόθεος; τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy ˱to˲_the assembly

You may want to fill in the words necessary to make this a complete sentence. Alternate translation: “Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy send this letter to the church”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Παῦλος, καὶ Σιλουανὸς, καὶ Τιμόθεος

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy

Although Paul wrote this letter, he identifies Silvanus and Timothy as also sending it. This means that they were with him and were in agreement with it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that clear, as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Θεῷ Πατρὶ ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ

in God /the/_Father ˱of˲_us and /the/_Lord Jesus Christ

Here Paul speaks of the believers as though they were occupying space inside of God and Jesus. This metaphor expresses the idea that believers are spiritually united to God and Jesus. If this might be misunderstood in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “united to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” or “sharing life with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”
