OET interlinear 2 COR 11:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τί Ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαπῶ ὑμᾶς Ὁ Θεός οἶδεν)

Here Paul asks for the reason why he does not “burden” the Corinthians (See: [11:9](../11/09.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this connection more explicit. Alternate translation: [Why do I not burden you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

διὰ τί? ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαπῶ ὑμᾶς?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τί Ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαπῶ ὑμᾶς Ὁ Θεός οἶδεν)

Paul is using the question form to show the Corinthians that his reason for not burdening them was not that he did not love them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these two questions as statements or as exclamations, or you could combine them into one statement. Alternate translation: [I have a reason for this. However, it is not that I do not love you!] or [My reason is not that I do not love you.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Θεὸς οἶδεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τί Ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαπῶ ὑμᾶς Ὁ Θεός οἶδεν)

Here Paul states that God knows something. He implies that God knows that Paul does in fact love the Corinthians. The phrase God knows makes the claim stronger, since God is the one who can prove that the claim is true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [God himself knows that I love you] or [You can know for sure that I love you, since God knows it]
