Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:3–18: Paul encouraged Timothy to continue doing the work that God gave him to do

Paragraph 1:15–18

In this paragraph Paul temporarily stopped giving instructions to Timothy and wrote about several people whom he had previously considered to be his friends. It is probable that these people lived in the province of Asia and that Timothy knew them. Paul contrasted a faithful friend named Onesiphorus with the people who had abandoned him.

1:15a

You know that everyone in the Province of Asia

¶ You are aware that many of the Christians/believers that live in the province of Asia

You know: Paul changed his theme here. He used the clause that the BSB translates as You know instead of a conjunction to indicate this change of theme. In some languages there is a word or part of a word that indicates a change in theme. In other languages this may be a phrase, or a clause or even a whole sentence. Make sure your translation indicates Paul’s change in theme here in the way that your language signals a change in the theme.

that: In the Greek text, a word that means “this” immediately follows the verb You know. It emphasizes what Paul was sure that Timothy already knew.

everyone: In this context, the word everyone is an exaggeration. It does not literally mean that all the people who lived in the province of Asia abandoned Paul. It refers here to a number of Christians whom Paul had considered to be his friends, or possibly to be followers of what he taught. He had depended on these people to help him.

This type of exaggeration is common in many languages. However, if people understand this word literally, then you may have to say something like “many believers.”

the Province of Asia: Asia was the name of a province of the Roman Empire. It was not the present day continent of Asia. The Province of Asia was a part of the country that people now call Turkey. Ephesus was the capital city of the Province of Asia, and it was the city where Timothy lived and served as a church leader.

1:15b

has deserted me,

have abandoned/rejected me,

has deserted me: Commentators believe that the Greek verb that the BSB translates as has deserted refers to one of two things:

A general situation. Paul may have been thinking that people had left or abandoned him in the sense that they no longer accepted him as their leader. Or perhaps Paul was referring to those who had accepted his message at first but later turned away.
A specific occasion. Paul may have been thinking of a specific time when the people of the province of Asia deserted him. Perhaps they did not visit him when he was in prison or support him when he was on trial. (See 4:16.)

We cannot be sure which of these Paul was referring to, so you should not try to make either one explicit in your translation. Use a general verb such as “abandon” or one whose meaning could include or refer to as many of these situations as possible.

1:15c

including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

even Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Even my friends Phygelus and Hermogenes have abandoned/rejected me.

including Phygelus and Hermogenes: Phygelus and Hermogenes were the names of two men. Paul probably thought that these two men would continue to be his friends and to help him, but they did not. He mentioned them by name because Timothy knew who they were.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

οἶδας τοῦτο, ὅτι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἶδας τοῦτο ὅτι ἀπεστράφησαν μέ πάντες οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ ὧν ἐστίν Φύγελος καί Ἑρμογένης)

Here the word this refers directly ahead to the phrase all the ones in Asia turned away from me. Paul expressed the idea in this way because it was powerful in his language. If using the word this to refer to what someone is about to say would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information and make the expression powerful in another way. Alternate translation: [You surely know that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντες οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ

all who_‹are› in ¬the Asia

Paul says all here as an overstatement to emphasize how many believers turned away from him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [most of the people who believe in Asia]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ

who_‹are› in ¬the Asia

Here the phrase the ones in Asia could refer to: (1) believers who are living in Asia. Alternate translation: [the believers living in Asia] (2) believers who are from Asia but who were with Paul where he was imprisoned, which was probably in Rome. Alternate translation: [the believers from Asia] or [the ones who came with me from Asia]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀπεστράφησάν με

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἶδας τοῦτο ὅτι ἀπεστράφησαν μέ πάντες οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ ὧν ἐστίν Φύγελος καί Ἑρμογένης)

Here Paul speaks of people who stopped listening to him and helping him as if they had turned away from him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [turned their backs on me] or [abandoned me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπεστράφησάν με

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἶδας τοῦτο ὅτι ἀπεστράφησαν μέ πάντες οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ ὧν ἐστίν Φύγελος καί Ἑρμογένης)

Here Paul implies that these people turned away because Paul was accused of doing what was wrong, and he was put in jail. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [turned away from me when I was accused] or [turned away from me because I am in prison]

Note 6 topic: translate-names

Φύγελος & Ἑρμογένης

Phygelus & Hermogenes

The words Phygelus and Hermogenes are the names of men.
