OET (OET-LV) Concerning for indeed the service which to the holy ones, superfluous for_me is which to_be_writing to_you_all.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation concerning why Paul and his fellow workers boast about the Corinthians (See: 8:24). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Now,” or “Indeed,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῆς διακονίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους
the service ¬which to the holy_‹ones›
Here Paul is referring specifically to the ministry of collecting money and giving it to the saints in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what Paul is referring to more explicit. Alternate translation: “the ministry that is to the saints in Jerusalem” or “the money that we are collecting for the Jerusalem saints”
περισσόν μοί ἐστιν τὸ γράφειν ὑμῖν
superfluous ˱for˲_me is ¬which /to_be/_writing ˱to˲_you_all
Alternate translation: “it is really not necessary for me to write to you”
9:1-5 Two motives reinforce the spirit of love in giving: (1) to emulate the Macedonians, who in their poverty had been forthcoming in their generosity (9:2); and (2) not to shame Paul or themselves, since he had boasted about the Corinthians’ generosity to the Macedonians (9:3-5). To ensure the timely gathering of the collection at Corinth, Paul would send the delegates (8:16-24) in advance to make sure the gift you promised is ready.

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.
