OET (OET-LV) I_wish you_all_were_tolerating of_me little some of_foolishness, but even are_tolerating of_me.
OET (OET-RV) I wish you all could tolerate a bit of foolishness from me, but yes, you do tolerate me,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μικρόν τι ἀφροσύνης
little some ˱of˲_foolishness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of foolishness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “as I act a little foolishly” or “as I now say what is foolish”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μικρόν τι ἀφροσύνης
little some ˱of˲_foolishness
Here, the foolishness that Paul refers to is how he is about to boast about his qualifications as an apostle. Paul considers this to be foolishness, but he will boast anyways to help the Corinthians realize that he and the gospel that he preaches come from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what foolishness refers to more explicit. Alternate translation: “as I am about to be a little bit foolish” or “in a little bit of foolishness that I am about to speak”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀνέχεσθέ μου
but even /are/_tolerating ˱of˲_me
Here, this clause could be: (1) a statement of what the Corinthians are already doing, either as they listen to this letter or in the past when Paul visited them. Alternate translation: “but in fact you are already bearing with me” (2) a command to act in this way. Alternate translation: “and in fact you need to bear with me”
11:1 Paul takes on an ironic tone in saying, I hope you will put up with a little more of my foolishness. He again asks with irony, Please bear with me (or But indeed you are putting up with me, a translation that makes the irony even more pointed).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
