OET interlinear 2COR 11:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

ἄλλας ἐκκλησίας ἐσύλησα

other assemblies ˱I˲_robbed

Here Paul refers to receiving money from other churches to support himself as he served the Corinthians as if it were robbery. He means that he received money from these churches and did not give them anything in return, which some people would consider robbery. He uses this strong language to indicate how much he and the other churches sacrificed to help the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that clearly indicates that Paul is speaking from another person’s perspective and overstating what he means. Alternate translation: [It was as if I robbed other churches] or [Some might say that I robbed other churches]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λαβὼν ὀψώνιον πρὸς τὴν ὑμῶν διακονίαν

/having/_received support for the ˱of˲_you_all service

Here Paul implies that the other churches paid him a wage, but so that he could serve the Corinthians, not them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having accepted a wage from them but used it for the ministry to you]
