κατὰ Κύριον
according_to /the/_Lord
Here, the phrase according to the Lord could refer to: (1) how someone represents the Lord. Alternate translation: “as I speak for the Lord” (2) how the Lord spoke. Alternate translation: “in the ways in which the Lord spoke”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ
in foolishness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of foolishness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “a foolish person”

ταύτῃ τῇ ὑποστάσει
this ¬the confidence
Here, the word situation could refer to: (1) what Paul has done that gives him a reason to boast. Alternate translation: “this basis” (2) how Paul is currently in the process of boasting. Alternate translation: “this matter” or “this act”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ὑποστάσει τῆς καυχήσεως
in in this ¬the confidence ¬the ˱of˲_boasting
Here Paul could be using the possessive to describe: (1) the situation that is the basis of or proof for the boasting. Alternate translation: “in this situation about which I boast” (2) the situation in which he is boasting. Alternate translation: “in this situation in which I boast”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ὑποστάσει τῆς καυχήσεως
in in this ¬the confidence ¬the ˱of˲_boasting
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of situation and boasting, you could express the same ideas in another way. Make sure that your translation fits with the interpretation you chose in the previous notes. Alternate translation: “in what happened that allows me to boast”
11:16-29 Paul plays the part of a boastful fool (see also 12:11-13) so that he may present his true credentials as a suffering apostle. The intruders’ arrogant spirit impels Paul to adopt a style of writing that matches their behavior, all in irony.
OET (OET-LV) What I_am_speaking, not according_to the_master I_am_speaking, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of_ the _boasting.
OET (OET-RV) When I say that, I’m not talking words from the master, but like a fool confidently boasting.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
