OET (OET-LV) For/Because we_are_rejoicing whenever we may_be_faltering, but you_all powerful may_be.
This also we_are_hoping, the of_you_all completion.
OET (OET-RV) So we’re glad whenever we falter, but you all might be quite capable as we also desire that you all grow to perfection.
τὴν ὑμῶν κατάρτισιν
the ˱of˲_you_all completion
Alternate translation: “that you may become spiritually mature”
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
The word translated as For here indicates that what follows continues to give another reason, along with verse 8, for the statement of verse 7. Use a connector that indicates that this is another reason, if that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: “You see,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
ἡμεῖς & ὑμεῖς
we & you_all
Here, as in verse 7, the words ourselves and yourselves emphasize the difference between Paul and the Corinthian believers. He wants them to be strong in the Lord, and it doesn’t matter if people think that he is weak. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. If you use the following suggestion, it will need a comma before each phrase. Alternate translation: “on our part, … on your part,”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
τοῦτο καὶ εὐχόμεθα
this also ˱we˲_/are/_hoping
The pronoun this here refers to what Paul desires for the Corinthian believers, which he states in two ways. First, that they be powerful in serving God, and then for their restoration to a right relationship with God. Those are both the same thing. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use a clearer expression. Alternate translation: “In fact, we pray for this”
13:9 become mature: This Greek word sometimes carries the idea of repair or completion, of restoring something to its proper condition, as in a return to good health (a related word is used in 13:11, “grow to maturity”; Mark 1:19, “repairing”; 1 Thes 3:10, “fill”; Heb 13:21, “equip”; 1 Pet 5:10, “restore”).
OET (OET-LV) For/Because we_are_rejoicing whenever we may_be_faltering, but you_all powerful may_be.
This also we_are_hoping, the of_you_all completion.
OET (OET-RV) So we’re glad whenever we falter, but you all might be quite capable as we also desire that you all grow to perfection.
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.
