Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Paul said in the previous verse (10:2) about how some people think that he and his fellow workers walk according to the flesh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces further explanation. Alternate translation: [Indeed, though]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
περιπατοῦντες
walking
You should translate walking as you did in 10:2. Alternate translation: [acting] or [living our lives]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν σαρκὶ
in /the/_flesh
Here, the phrase in the flesh indicates that Paul and his fellow workers are humans like everyone else. He is contrasting his humanity with how he wages war, which is not the way in which most humans wage war. If possible, express this idea so that it is clearly connected to how you translate according to the flesh. Alternate translation: [in human lives]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
οὐ & στρατευόμεθα
not & ˱we˲_/are/_warring
Here and in 10:4–6, Paul speaks as if he and his fellow workers were waging a war. He means that they proclaim the good news and defend it and other believers against people and powers that try to corrupt the good news and hurt believers. Paul does not mean that they are actually killing people or fighting with physical weapons. If possible, preserve the metaphor or express the idea with a simile. Alternate translation: [we are like people who wage war, but not] or [we do not fight]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κατὰ σάρκα
according_to flesh
You should translate this phrase as you did in 10:2. Alternate translation: [according to what humans value] or [according to a human perspective]
10:1-6 Paul states his own clear intentions and sincerity by defending himself against the suspicion that he is acting from human motives.
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.
