UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἄνθρωπε Θεοῦ

person ˱of˲_God

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a man who serves and obeys God. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translations: “man who obeys God” or “man who worships God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ταῦτα φεῦγε

these_‹things› /be/_fleeing

Paul speaks of these temptations and sins as if they were things a person could physically run away from. He means that Timothy should always avoid these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “make sure that you do not do these things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, the phrase these things refers to sinful behaviors and desires that Paul has been writing about. He could be referring more specifically to everything he has written about in this section of the letter (false teachings, pride, arguments, and the love of money). On the other hand, he could be referring just to what he wrote about most recently (the love of money). Since Paul used a general phrase, if possible, you should use a general phrase that could refer to any of these ideas. Alternate translation: “these sinful things” or “the things I have been writing about”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

δίωκε

/be/_pursuing

Paul speaks of righteousness and other good qualities as if they were things that a person could run after and catch. He means that Timothy should try very hard to be characterized by these good things. Alternate translation: “seek to acquire” or “work hard to be characterized by”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονήν, πραϋπαθίαν

righteousness devoutness faith love endurance gentleness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for some or all of the ideas in this list, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “becoming more righteous, godly, believing, loving, persistent, gentle”
