UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πιστὸς ὁ λόγος

trustworthy_‹is› the saying

Here, word represents what Paul is about to write using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What I am about to write is trustworthy] or [The following words are trustworthy]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πιστὸς & καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος

trustworthy_‹is› & and ˱of˲_all acceptance worthy

The terms trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance 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: [is completely trustworthy] or [worthy of complete acceptance]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος

˱of˲_all acceptance worthy

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a word that deserves to be accepted. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another. Alternate translation: [should receive all acceptance] or [deserves to receive all acceptance]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πάσης ἀποδοχῆς

˱of˲_all acceptance

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of acceptance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translations: “of being completely accepted”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἁμαρτωλοὺς σῶσαι

Christ Jesus came into the world sinners /to/_save

These words are the word that Paul shares with Timothy. To indicate this, the ULT and UST put quotation marks around these words. The ULT also uses a dash to indicate that the words of whom I am the first are not part of the word that Paul shares with Timothy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use quotation marks or another form to indicate which words are the ones that Paul introduces as the word.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὧν πρῶτός εἰμι ἐγώ

˱of˲_whom /the/_first am I

Here Paul speaks of the most sinful person, himself, as if he were first in a sequence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of whom I am the worst] or [of whom I have the most sin]

Note 7 topic: translate-ordinal

πρῶτός

/the/_first

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [number one]
