UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὐκ ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς γράφω ταῦτα, ἀλλ’ ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ, νουθετῶ

not swaying you_all ˱I˲_/am/_writing these_‹things› but as children ˱of˲_me beloved ˱I˲_/am/_admonishing

If your language would not put the negative statement before the positive statement, you could reverse them. Alternate translation: “I correct you as my beloved children. I do not write these things as shaming you”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἐντρέπων ὑμᾶς

swaying you_all

Here, the phrase as shaming you introduces what Paul did not write to do. If your readers would not understand as shaming as a purpose, you could use a word or phrase that does clearly indicate purpose. Alternate translation: “in order to shame you”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, these things refers back to what Paul has already written, focusing on 4:6–13. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express these things with a word or phrase that refers back to what Paul has just finished writing. Alternate translation: “what I have said about us apostles and you”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὡς τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ

as children ˱of˲_me beloved

Here, the phrase as my beloved children could introduce: (1) the reason why Paul corrects the Corinthians. Alternate translation: “because you are my beloved children” (2) the way in which he corrects the Corinthians. Alternate translation: “as a father corrects his beloved children, so”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τέκνα μου ἀγαπητὰ

children ˱of˲_me beloved

Here Paul speaks of the Corinthians as if they were his beloved children. He speaks in this way because he is their spiritual father, the one who first preached the good news to them. Also, he loves them in the same way a father loves his own children. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind why Paul calls the Corinthians his beloved childrenwith a comparable metaphor or plainly. Alternate translation: “my beloved younger siblings” or “fellow believers whom I love”
