OET (OET-LV) Because proof you_all_are_seeking which in me speaking of_chosen_one/messiah, who toward you_all not is_faltering, but is_able among you_all.
OET (OET-RV) because you’re all wanting proof that I speak from Messiah who isn’t incapable of handling you all but is quite able to do what he wants.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
δοκιμὴν ζητεῖτε τοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ λαλοῦντος Χριστοῦ
proof ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeking ¬which in me speaking ˱of˲_Christ
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of proof, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “you want me to prove that Christ speaks through me”
ἐν ἐμοὶ λαλοῦντος
in me speaking
Alternate translation: “speaking through me”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
ὃς
who
The pronoun who refers to Christ. If this is not clear for your readers, you could include “Christ” here. Alternate translation: “Christ, who”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀλλὰ δυνατεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν
but /is/_able among you_all
The implication is that Christ will be powerful among the Corinthian believers when Paul comes and disciplines them using Christ’s power. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “but will punish you powerfully when I come”
13:3-4 Christ speaks through me: Paul represented Christ to the Corinthian congregation, and he would exercise God’s power in dealing with them.
• Paul’s weakness was patterned on the humiliation of Christ, who was crucified in weakness (see 8:9). Paul’s judgment on the sinners would be tempered by the constraint of Christ’s love (5:14-21).
• We, too, are weak: Paul’s humanity was frail, yet he could draw on Christ’s strength (12:10).

OET (OET-RV) because you’re all wanting proof that I speak from Messiah who isn’t incapable of handling you all but is quite able to do what he wants.
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.
