OET (OET-RV) I’m writing these things while I’m absent, so that when I’m present I won’t have to treat you all severely according to the authority that the master gave me for building and not for tearing down.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–10: Some warnings

In this section, Paul warned the believers that he would punish anyone who was sinning and refusing to repent (13:1–2). He said he would do that because some believers in Corinth were demanding proof from him that he was a true apostle (13:3a). He told them that he could work powerfully because Jesus is powerful (13:3b). He told them that they were weak in their natural abilities but had God’s power, as Jesus did when he lived on earth (13:4).

Then Paul commanded them to look carefully at themselves to see if they were truly believers or not (13:5). Paul expected that if they studied Paul’s words and deeds, then they would see that he was a true apostle (13:6). Paul told them that he and his coworkers prayed for the believers in Corinth that they would not sin and that they would do what was right (13:7). Paul told them that he and his coworkers worked in accordance with the truth (13:8). He told the believers that he prayed that they would always do as God wanted them to do (13:9). He told them that he wrote about their problems so that they would correct those problems themselves. Then he would encourage them when he went there and would not have to discipline them (13:10).

Other examples for this section heading are:

Examine Yourselves (NASB)

Paul gave final warnings

Final warnings and greetings

13:10a

This is why I write these things while absent,

This is why I write these things: This clause refers to all the things Paul had written in this letter. Other ways to translate this are:

So I write these things (NRSV)

That’s why I’m writing this letter (GW)

Therefore I wrote all those things

while absent: This clause refers to the time when Paul wrote this letter. He was not there in Corinth with them.

13:10b

so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority

so that: This conjunction introduces another purpose for writing. For example:

in order that (RSV)

in my use of the authority: The Greek words are literally “according to the authority.” Paul had the authority from Jesus to be an apostle. He used that authority to start churches and correct believers. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

with the authority (NJB)

when I use the authority (CEV)

13:10c

that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

for building you up, not for tearing you down: The verb phrase “build up” refers figuratively to encouraging the believers so that they believe in Jesus well. The verb phrase “tear down” refers figuratively to discouraging the believers so that they do not believe in Jesus well. See how you translated the similar phrase in 10:8, where the BSB translates it as “for building you up rather than tearing you down.” Other ways to translate this are:

to help you, not to destroy you

to make your faith grow, not to make your faith ineffective/useless

to cause you to be strong in faith, not to cause you to be weak in faith

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

διὰ τοῦτο

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τοῦτο ταῦτα ἀπών γράφω ἵνα παρών μή ἀποτόμως χρήσωμαι κατά τήν ἐξουσίαν ἥν ὁ Κύριος ἔδωκεν μοί εἰς οἰκοδομήν καί οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν)

The pronoun this refers to what Paul has just written in [verse 9](../13/09.md), that he wants the Corinthian believers to be restored to a right relationship with God. If this is not clear for your readers, you could repeat that information here. Alternate translation: [Because I want you to be restored to God]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

The words these things refer to what Paul has written in the entire letter, but especially to the warnings and exhortations in [chapters 10–13](../10/01.md). If this is not clear for your readers, you could include that information here. Alternate translation: [the things in this letter]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ τὴν ἐξουσίαν ἣν ὁ Κύριος ἔδωκέν μοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τοῦτο ταῦτα ἀπών γράφω ἵνα παρών μή ἀποτόμως χρήσωμαι κατά τήν ἐξουσίαν ἥν ὁ Κύριος ἔδωκεν μοί εἰς οἰκοδομήν καί οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of authority, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [as the person that the Lord has authorized]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν

for for (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διά τοῦτο ταῦτα ἀπών γράφω ἵνα παρών μή ἀποτόμως χρήσωμαι κατά τήν ἐξουσίαν ἥν ὁ Κύριος ἔδωκεν μοί εἰς οἰκοδομήν καί οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν)

Here, Paul is speaking of the Corinthian believers as if they were a building. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a more natural metaphor for this or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to help you become more faithful to Christ and not to make you want to forsake him]

OET (OET-RV) I’m writing these things while I’m absent, so that when I’m present I won’t have to treat you all severely according to the authority that the master gave me for building and not for tearing down.

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
