OET interlinear 2COR 12:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καυχᾶσθαι & οὐ συμφέρον μέν & δὲ

/to_be/_boasting & not benefitting indeed & and

Here, the phrase not profitable could go with: (1) I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. Alternate translation: “to boast: even though it is not profitable,” (2) It is necessary to boast. Alternate translation: “to boast, though it is not profitable. But”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐλεύσομαι & εἰς

˱I˲_/will_be/_coming & to

Here Paul speaks of moving on to a new topic as if he were physically moving to a new location. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language. Alternate translation: “I will now speak about”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὀπτασίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεις

visions and revelations

The terms visions and revelations mean similar things. It is possible that visions refers to experiences in which someone sees amazing things, while revelations refers to experiences in which someone learns amazing things in general. Paul uses both words to refer in general to all these kinds of experiences. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express Paul’s general focus with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “revelations” or “various visions”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ὀπτασίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεις Κυρίου

visions and revelations ˱of˲_/the/_Lord

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe visions and revelations that could: (1) come from the Lord. Alternate translation: “visions and revelations from the Lord” (2) be about the Lord. Alternate translation: “visions and revelations about the Lord”
