OET interlinear 2COR 2:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

therefore

Here, the word So introduces an exhortation that is based on what Paul said in the previous verse about “forgiving” and “comforting” the person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an exhortation or inference. Alternate translation: [Because of that,] or [So then,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

κυρῶσαι εἰς αὐτὸν ἀγάπην

/to/_confirm toward him love

Here, the phrase for him could go with: (1) love. Alternate translation: [to reaffirm the love that you have for him] (2) reaffirm. Alternate translation: [to reaffirm to him your love]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς & ἀγάπην

toward & love

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “love.” Alternate translation: [that you love]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτὸν

him

Here, just as in 2:5, 7, Paul may be referring specifically to a man, especially if the way that he has “grieved” others is by sinning sexually. However, it is not certain that Paul is referring to a man here. Consider using a form that does not specify the gender of this person. Alternate translation: [that individual] or [the person]
