OET (OET-LV)and we_are_labouring, working with_our own hands.
Being_insulted, we_are_blessing, being_persecuted, we_are_tolerating,

OET (OET-RV)and working hard—working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless them, and when they persecute us, we put up with it.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἰδίαις & εὐλογοῦμεν & ἀνεχόμεθα

own & ˱we˲_/are/_blessing & ˱we˲_/are/_tolerating

Here, our and we refer to Paul and other “apostles.” They do not include the Corinthians.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

κοπιῶμεν, ἐργαζόμενοι

˱we˲_/are/_laboring working

Here, the words working hard and working mean basically the same thing. Paul uses both words to emphasize how hard he is working. If your language does not use repetition in this way, you can combine these words and indicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [are working very hard]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐργαζόμενοι ταῖς ἰδίαις χερσίν

working ˱with˲_our own hands

In Paul’s culture, the phrase with our own hands indicates that Paul and other apostles were doing manual labor. In fact, we know that Paul himself made tents (See: Acts 18:3), so that is probably the manual labor which he refers to here. If with our hands would not refer to manual labor in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or an expression that refers to manual labor. Alternate translation: [doing physically demanding work]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

λοιδορούμενοι & διωκόμενοι

/being/_insulted & /being/_persecuted

The phrases Being reviled and being persecuted identify the situations in which Paul and other apostles bless and endure. If it would be helpful in your language, you could: (1) include a word such as “when” to indicate that these actions happen at the same time. Alternate translation: [Any time we are reviled … any time we are persecuted] (2) include a word such as “although” to indicate that these actions are in contrast with each other. Alternate translation: [Although we are reviled … although we are persecuted]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

λοιδορούμενοι

/being/_insulted

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on those who are reviled rather than focusing on the people doing the “reviling.” If you must state who does the action, you can use a vague or indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [Others reviling us]

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

λοιδορούμενοι

/being/_insulted

Here, Being reviled refers to someone abusing another person with words. If that meaning for Being reviled would not be obvious in your language, you could use a word or phrase that does refer to using abusive words about another person. Alternate translation: [Being slandered] or [Being attacked verbally]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐλογοῦμεν

˱we˲_/are/_blessing

Here Paul does not state whom or what they bless. He could mean that they bless: (1) the people who “revile” them. Alternate translation: [we bless in return] (2) God, even though they are suffering. Alternate translation: [we bless God anyway]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

διωκόμενοι

/being/_persecuted

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on those who are persecuted rather than the people doing the “persecuting.” If you must state who does the action, you can use a vague or indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [Others persecuting us]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:12 We work: To avoid being blamed by others for taking money, Paul preferred to support himself (9:3-18; Acts 18:3; 20:33-35).
• We bless those who curse us: Paul’s response was in line with Jesus’ teaching (Matt 5:44-45; cp. Rom 12:14, 17-21).

Being_insulted, we_are_blessing, being_persecuted, we_are_tolerating,

OET (OET-RV)and working hard—working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless them, and when they persecute us, we put up with it.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
