11.2 Æmulor. Æmulatio est propter alienum statum motus mentis, vel in bonum vel in malum. Hic amoris est, non livoris, quia diligit eos æmulatione Dei, id est quam Deus spiritu suo inspirat, per hoc ostendit ea quæ dicet, amore eorum se dicturum, non ut ad laudem ejus proficiant, sed ad horum profectum. Vos uni. A plurali ad singulare descendit, volens intelligi totam Ecclesiam virginem esse, et in omnibus veris membris virginitate mentis (etsi non corporis) servare. Virginitas carnis, corpus est intactum: hæc virginitas paucorum est. Virginitas cordis fides est incorrupta: hæc est omnium fidelium.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
11:2 The church is called to be a pure bride to one husband—Christ. This metaphor goes back to the Old Testament, where Israel is the bride of the Lord (Isa 54:5; 62:5). Paul saw himself as the “best man” (the bridegroom’s close friend) who acted for the bridegroom (cp. John 3:29).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For could introduce: (1) the reason why Paul will be a little foolish. Alternate translation: “I will be a little bit foolish since” (2) the reason why the Corinthians should bear with Paul. Alternate translation: “I want you to bear with me because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Θεοῦ ζήλῳ
˱of˲_God ˱with˲_/the/_jealousy
Here, the phrase godly jealousy could refer to jealousy: (1) that is the same jealousy that God has. Alternate translation: “with the jealousy that God has” (2) that is from God. Alternate translation: “with jealousy from God”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
Θεοῦ ζήλῳ
˱of˲_God ˱with˲_/the/_jealousy
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of jealousy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in a godly way” or “as God is jealous”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἡρμοσάμην γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἑνὶ ἀνδρὶ, παρθένον ἁγνὴν παραστῆσαι τῷ Χριστῷ
˱I˲_joined for you_all ˱to˲_one husband /a/_virgin pure /to/_present ˱to˲_the Messiah
Here Paul speaks as if he is the father of the Corinthians, who together are his daughter. Paul has promised to give his daughter (the Corinthians) as a wife to a man, who is Christ. Until that marriage happens, Paul the father must make sure that his daughter (the Corinthians) remains a pure virgin. If these customs are somewhat similar to what happens in your culture, you could preserve the metaphor or express the idea with a simile. If these customs are not similar to what happens in your culture, you could explain the ideas more clearly or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “for I am like your father who has betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to be married to Christ” or “I helped you believe in the Messiah, and I will work hard to help you remain faithful to him”
