UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν πραΰτητι

in gentleness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of meekness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [meekly] or [in a meek way]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους

the_‹ones› opposing

Here Paul could be implying that these people are opposing: (1) the “slave of the Lord” (2:24). Alternate translation: [the ones opposing him] (2) the gospel. Alternate translation: [the ones opposing the gospel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μήποτε δώῃ αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς μετάνοιαν

perhaps (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν πραΰτητι παιδεύοντα τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους μήποτε δῴη αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας)

Here Paul speaks of repentance as if it were an object that God could give people. He means that God may enable these people to have repentance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God may perhaps cause them to have repentance]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μήποτε δώῃ αὐτοῖς & μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of repentance, knowledge, and truth, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [may perhaps cause them to repent so that they can know the true teaching]
