OET interlinear 2COR 12:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐδοκῶ

˱I˲_/am/_taking_pleasure

Here Paul means that he is content with these bad experiences and is even happy that he experiences them, because Christ works through him when these bad things happen. He does not mean that he enjoys the bad experiences themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “I rejoice when I live” or “I am content to suffer”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ἀσθενείαις, ἐν ὕβρεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν διωγμοῖς, καὶ στενοχωρίαις

in weaknesses in insults in hardships in persecutions and distresses

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas in this clause, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “in being weak, in being insulted, in being coerced, in being persecuted and distressed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἐν ἀσθενείαις, ἐν ὕβρεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν διωγμοῖς, καὶ στενοχωρίαις, ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ

in weaknesses in insults in hardships in persecutions and distresses for Christ

Here, the phrase for the sake of Christ could go with: (1) the entire list of bad experiences. Alternate translation: “in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions and distresses whenever I experience them for the sake of Christ” (2) the verb take delight. Alternate translation: “for the sake of Christ in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions and distresses”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why Paul takes delight in these bad experiences. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim. Alternate translation: “that is because” or “I do that since”
