UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

because

Here, the word For introduces another reason why Paul and his fellow workers rejoiced even more abundantly (7:13). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: “Also, we rejoiced since,” or “Further,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἴ τι αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι, οὐ κατῃσχύνθην

if anything ˱to˲_him about you_all ˱I˲_/have/_boasted not ˱I˲_/was/_disgraced

Paul is speaking as if his boasting about the Corinthians were a possibility, but he means that it is actually true. He uses this form to introduce what he said about the Corinthians that might have caused him to be ashamed if it were not true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that introduces something that Paul did that might have led to being ashamed. Alternate translation: “I was not ashamed because of what I had boasted to him about you” or “what I boasted to him about you did not cause me to be ashamed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐ κατῃσχύνθην

not ˱I˲_/was/_disgraced

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the Corinthians. Alternate translation: “I did not feel shame” or “you did not shame me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντα & ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν

all_‹things› & ˱we˲_spoke ˱to˲_you_all

Here Paul could be referring to: (1) everything he has told the Corinthians, including the gospel. Alternate translation: “we spoke everything we have told you” (2) specifically what he told the Corinthians about his travel plans. Alternate translation: “we spoke to you about our travel plans”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ἀληθείᾳ

in truth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “truthfully” or “in a truthful way”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἡ ἐπὶ Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη

the boasting ˱of˲_us (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτι εἴ τι αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὐ κατῃσχύνθην ἀλλʼ ὡς πάντα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν οὕτως καὶ ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἐπὶ Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of boasting and truth, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “what we boasted about became true with reference to Titus”
