Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here the word Therefore includes an exhortation that is based on what Paul said in the previous verse about having power, love, and self-control instead of fear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces an exhortation based on a previous statement. Alternate translation: [So then] or [Because you have that spirit]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ & ἐπαισχυνθῇς τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, μηδὲ ἐμὲ, τὸν δέσμιον αὐτοῦ

not & /may_be/_ashamed the testimony ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us nor me the prisoner ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [do not let the testimony of our Lord, nor me, his prisoner, shame you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν

the testimony ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us

Here Paul is using the possessive form to describe testimony that is about our Lord. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the testimony concerning our Lord] or [testifying about our Lord]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸν δέσμιον αὐτοῦ

the prisoner ˱of˲_him

Here Paul is using the possessive form to describe himself as a prisoner because of how he serves Jesus. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a prisoner for his sake] or [a prisoner because I serve the Lord]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

συνκακοπάθησον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μὴ οὖν ἐπαισχυνθῇς τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν μηδὲ ἐμὲ τὸν δέσμιον αὐτοῦ ἀλλὰ συγκακοπάθησον τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ κατὰ δύναμιν Θεοῦ)

Here the phrase suffer together could indicate that Timothy should suffer with: (1) Paul. Alternate translation: [suffer together with me] (2) all Christians who suffer. Alternate translation: [suffer together with other believers]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ

˱for˲_the gospel

Here Paul implies that Timothy should be willing to suffer as he believes in and proclaims the gospel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [as you preach the gospel] or [for the sake of believing and proclaiming the gospel]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ δύναμιν Θεοῦ

according_to /the/_power ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of power, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [as God empowers you] or [which God will make you able to do]
