Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:17 Paul’s prayer echoes the purpose of Timothy’s visit to the church—to strengthen and encourage the Thessalonian believers in their faith (1 Thes 3:2).
• To comfort you does not merely mean to console, but to exhort or encourage them because of their fears and doubts (2 Thes 2:1-12; 1 Thes 4:18; 5:11).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

παρακαλέσαι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας, καὶ στηρίξαι

/might/_comfort ˱of˲_you_all the hearts and /might/_strengthen_‹you_all›

Here, the word hearts represents both the emotion and will of a person. If hearts does not mean this in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “may he give comfort and strength to your livers” or “may he comfort you and strengthen you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ ἀγαθῷ

in every work and word good

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the phrase work and word with verbs. Alternative translation: “in every good thing that you do and say” or “so that you could do and say everything that is good.”
