OET interlinear 2COR 2:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἡ ἐπιτιμία αὕτη

¬the punishment this

Here, the word This indicates that both Paul and the Corinthians knew what the punishment was. However, Paul never states exactly what the punishment was. You should use a word or phrase that is as general as what Paul used. Alternate translation: [That punishment] or [The punishment]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

τῷ τοιούτῳ

¬the ˱to˲_such_‹one›

Here Paul speaks in general terms about such a person. However, he is referring more specifically to the person that he mentioned in the previous verse, the one who “grieved” the Corinthians (See: 2:5). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this reference more explicit. Alternate translation: [on the person we are talking about] or [on that individual]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τῶν πλειόνων

the more

Here the phrase the majority implies a “minority.” These are some of the Corinthians who either did not agree with the punishment or who thought that the person had done nothing wrong. However, Paul does not give any information about this “minority,” so you should use a word or phrase that refers to most of the people in a group. Alternate translation: [all but a few of you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἱκανὸν

worthy_‹is›

Here, the word sufficient could indicate that the punishment: (1) has been severe enough. Alternate translation: [is severe enough] or [is sufficiently strong] (2) has lasted long enough. Alternate translation: [has lasted long enough] or [can end now]
