Portuguese term

Jesus todo. Todo de Jesus.

May offend Portuguese to English Art/Literary Religion
This is the motto of a Religious Congregation founded in Brazil.
Some things are hidden in there, but the meaning is basically this: TO HAVE Jesus all. TO BE all of Jesus.

I don't feel "JESUS ALL. ALL FOR JESUS" is correct. I feel it loses the meaning of belonging already to Jesus in the second part since "for" sounds it is being offered still.
Would "Jesus all. All of Jesus" be an option?
To those who are familiar with Latin, it is "IESUS TOTUS. TOTUS IESUS"

Simone Taylor Mar 30, 2022:
All e todo não têm a mesma classe gramatical. A sua frase não faz sentido em inglês. Em inglês o substantivo é whole e não all. Contudo, slogans ou mottos não podem ser simplesmente traduzidos, têm de ser adaptados de acordo com os seus objetivos, o público alvo, dependendo da situação pode ter de ser modificado completamente e você precisa saber o quanto pode ser modificado.

Jesus is all Mine and I'm all His

É esta a explicação que encontrei:

"Il y a en nous la profonde volonté et la prétention audacieuse de désirer Jésus tout entier et de lui appartenir entièrement."

Assim, "Jesus Todo" quer dizer "desejar a totalidade de Jesus" e "Todo Jesus" quer dizer "ser de Jesus totalmente".

Total Jesus. Totally Jesus

Very, very hard because "Todo"'s syntax is completely different from English.
