OET (OET-LV) If for indeed the one coming another Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) is_proclaiming whom not we_proclaimed, or a_spirit another you_all_are_receiving which not you_all_received, or good_message another which not you_all_received, well you_all_are_tolerating.
OET (OET-RV) Indeed even if another Yeshua came and proclaimed something different from what we proclaimed, or if you receive another spirit that you hadn’t received already, or a good message different from what you’ve already heard, you might tolerate it.

γὰρ
for
Here, the word For could introduce a reason why: (1) Paul is afraid that someone will corrupt the Corinthians (See: 11:3). Alternate translation: I am afraid of that because] (2) the Corinthians should “bear with” Paul (See: [11:1), which is that they “bear with” these false teachers. Alternate translation: [You should bear with me because]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ μὲν & ὁ ἐρχόμενος
if indeed & the_‹one› coming
Here Paul is speaking as if one coming to the Corinthians and proclaiming another Jesus were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it had already or will actually happen. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might misunderstand and think that what Paul is saying is not certain, then you could express the idea by using a word such as “when.” Alternate translation: [when indeed one coming] or [indeed whenever someone comes and]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ ἐρχόμενος
the_‹one› coming
Here Paul could be referring to: (1) any person or group of people. Alternate translation: [anyone coming] or [any person coming] (2) a specific person whom Paul knows about. Alternate translation: [a person coming] or [that person coming]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πνεῦμα ἕτερον
/a/_spirit another
Here, the phrase a different spirit could refer to: (1) an evil spirit in contrast to the Holy Spirit. Alternate translation: [a spirit different than the Holy Spirit] (2) an attitude in contrast to the attitude that Paul and his fellow workers offered to the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [a different mindset] or [a different attitude]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καλῶς ἀνέχεσθε
well ˱you_all˲_/are/_tolerating
See how you translated the similar phrase in 11:1. Here Paul means that the Corinthians listen patiently even when false teachers are telling them lies. He does not approve of this behavior, but he uses this clause to link what he is saying here with what he said in 11:1. Alternate translation: [you willingly put up with it] or [you listen attentively to it]
11:4 The false missionaries in Corinth evidently preached a different Jesus, a different kind of Spirit, and a different kind of gospel than the one the Corinthians had believed. It is difficult to know exactly what these false teachers preached; most likely, they promoted a powerful, dominant Christ and sidelined the suffering of the cross. They probably saw themselves as equally powerful preachers, exempt from hardship and trial. Paul’s message, by contrast, centered on Christ crucified (13:4), and Paul’s own sufferings were a mark of true apostleship (12:1-12). The nature of this difference is the heart of Paul’s defense of his apostleship in chs 10–13.

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.
