UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Paul uses the word But to introduce a contrast between what the false teachers believe about godliness and what is really true about godliness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “Despite what they think,” or “And yet”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας

the devoutness with contentment

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of godliness and contentment, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “being godly and content”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πορισμὸς μέγας

/a/_means_of_gain great

Here, the word gain is the same word that Paul used in 6:5 for gaining money. Here, he uses the word to refer to gaining something else, which he does not state explicitly. He could be referring to salvation, spiritual blessings, or something else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the distinction between gain here and in 6:5 more explicit. However, it is recommended that you do not specify exactly what is the content of the gain in this verse. Alternate translation: “great gain in other things” or “great gain in things besides money”
