## translationNotes

* **I write to you these things ** - "I write these instructions to you"
* **and I hope to come to you soon ** - "although I hope to come to you very soon"
* **but if I delay ** - "but in case I cannot make it there soon" or "but if something prevents me for being there soon"
* **I write so that ** - "I write for the purpose that"
* **the house of God ... must be guided** - "how you must guide the family of God"
* **pillar and support of the truth** - The metaphor is of a large, strong platform on which God displays the truth. (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]]) The platform in turn is expressed as a synecdoche of its parts, the base and the upright. (See: [[en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_synecdoche]])
