OET (OET-LV) Consequently if also I_wrote to_you_all, not on_account the one having_done_wrong, nor on_account the one having_been_done_wrong, but on_account the thing to_be_revealed the earnestness of_you_all, which is for us to you_all before the god.
OET (OET-RV) So if I also wrote to you all, not on account of the one having done wrong, nor on account of the one having been wronged, but on account of your earnestness that would be revealed to us all before God,

ἄρα
consequently
Here, the word So introduces an inference or conclusion from what Paul said in 7:8–11 about the letter and its results. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or conclusion. Alternate translation: “Therefore,” or “As you can see,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔγραψα
˱I˲_wrote
Here, the phrase I wrote refers to the previous letter that Paul sent to the Corinthians. See how you translated “I wrote” in 2:3–4. Alternate translation: “I wrote that letter” or “I sent the letter”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀδικηθέντος
/having_been/_done_wrong
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that the person having done wrong did it. Alternate translation: “whom that person wronged”

τοῦ φανερωθῆναι τὴν σπουδὴν ὑμῶν, τὴν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς
the_‹one› the_‹one› the_‹thing› /to_be/_revealed the earnestness ˱of˲_you_all which_‹is› for us to you_all
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that he or his letter did it. Alternate translation: “I might reveal to you your earnestness which is on our behalf” or “my letter might reveal to you your earnestness which is on our behalf”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν σπουδὴν ὑμῶν, τὴν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν
the earnestness ˱of˲_you_all which_‹is› for us
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of earnestness, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “earnest.” Alternate translation: “how earnest you are on our behalf”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ
before ¬the God
Here, Paul refers to something being revealed before God to indicate a close connection to God. See how you translated the phrase before God in 4:2. The phrase could indicate that: (1) God testifies to or approves the Corinthians’ earnestness. Alternate translation: “with God testifying to it” (2) the Corinthians recognize their earnestness when they are in God’s presence. Alternate translation: “in God’s presence”
7:8-13a Paul was sorry at first that he had sent his previous letter (see 2:3-4). Now he was not sorry, realizing that the pain had been worthwhile, for the severe letter had brought the church in Corinth to repentance. They had rebuked the offending person—perhaps too strongly (see 2:6-11).
