OET interlinear 2 COR 10:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

λογιζέσθω ὁ τοιοῦτος

˓let_be˒_reckoning ¬the such_‹one›

Here Paul uses a third-person imperative. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use one here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could express the idea using a word such as “should.” Alternate translation: [Such a person should consider]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ὁ τοιοῦτος

¬the such_‹one›

Here, the phrase such a person refers to whoever says that Paul’s letters are powerful but his personal presence is weak (See: [10:10](../10/10.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that clearly refers back to this person from the previous verse. Alternate translation: [that person] or [anyone who says those things]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο & ὅτι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τοῦτο λογιζέσθω ὁ τοιοῦτος ὅτι οἷοι ἐσμέν τῷ λόγῳ διʼ ἐπιστολῶν ἀπόντες τοιοῦτοι καί παρόντες τῷ ἔργῳ)

Here, the word this refers to what Paul introduces with the word that. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different form that introduces what the person should consider. Alternate translation: [that] or [the fact that]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῷ λόγῳ

¬the ˱in˲_word

Here, the word word represents what someone says in words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in our words] or [in our communication]

τοιοῦτοι

such

Here Paul could be comparing what he and his fellow workers are like in our word with what they: (1) are like in our deed. In this case, Paul is simply comparing word and deed. Alternate translation: [such is what we are] (2) will be like in deed when they visit the Corinthians. In this case, Paul is speaking about what they will do in the future. Alternate translation: [such we will be]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ ἔργῳ

¬the ¬the ˱in˲_work

Here, the word deed refers to what Paul and his fellow workers do and will do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [in what we do] or [in how we will act]
