6:2b-21 The last major section of the letter returns to the need for Timothy to confront the false teachers. The whole section has a similar structure to 1:3-20.
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”
