UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ πίστιν ἐκλεκτῶν Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας

according_to /the/_faith ˱of˲_/the/_chosen_‹ones› ˱of˲_God and knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth

The words faith, knowledge, and truth are abstract nouns. If it would be more clear in your language, you could express those ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [to help God’s chosen people to continue to trust him and to know every true thing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκλεκτῶν Θεοῦ

˱of˲_/the/_chosen_‹ones› ˱of˲_God

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: [of the people whom God has chosen]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας

and knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and for their knowledge of the truth] or [and so that the chosen people of God might know the truth]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς κατ’ εὐσέβειαν

which_‹is› according_to devoutness

Here, godliness is an abstract noun that refers to living in a way that pleases God. Alternate translation: [that is suitable for honoring God]
