OET (OET-LV) Because if anything to_him about you_all I_have_boasted, not I_was_disgraced, but as all things in truth we_spoke to_you_all, thus also the boasting of_us to Titos truth was_become.

OET (OET-RV) Yes, if I’ve boasted anything about you all to him, I wasn’t disgraced, but as we spoke the truth to you all about everything, so also did our boasting to Titos become true

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:5–16: Paul was glad that the believers repented

In this section, Paul explained why he had great joy. Earlier he had sent Titus to Corinth because he wanted to know what the believers there were doing and whether they still accepted him. Paul had then gone to Macedonia, a northern province of Greece (7:5). He had met Titus there (7:6), and Titus had reported that the believers still accepted Paul and loved him (7:7a–d).

Then, in 7:8–9, Paul wrote that he was happy because the believers had responded properly to his earlier stern letter (also mentioned in 2:1–4; see also the section on “Paul’s letters to the Corinthians” in the introduction to these Notes). Paul explained the proper results of repentance (7:10–11). Lastly, Paul told them the reason for writing that letter (7:12–13a).

Then Paul told them that he was both encouraged and happy that they had responded properly to Titus (7:13b–16).

Other examples of headings for this section are:

Paul’s Joy (NIV)

Paul’s joy at the repentance of the Corinthians

Titus’ news comforts Paul and makes him happy

7:14a–b

I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you: The Greek words are literally “If I have boasted somewhat to him about you, I was not shamed.” The Greek words begin with the word “if.” The word “if” is used rhetorically to cause the believers in Corinth to think about the outcome of that boasting, which is that they did as he boasted. So he was not embarrassed or shamed. Paul’s boasting is a fact.

In some languages the word “if” can be used rhetorically here with the above meaning. If that is true in your language, you may want to follow the literal Greek. For example:

if I have been somewhat boastful about you to him, I was not disgraced (NRSV)

if I have boasted to him about anything concerning you, I have not been embarrassed by you (NET)

Here the word “if” does not indicate possibility or doubt. In some languages, translating the word “if” will not indicate the correct meaning. If that is so, follow the BSB and other English versions that omit the word “if.” For example:

I did boast of you to him, and you have not disappointed me (GNT)

whatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame (ESV)

I didn’t have to be ashamed of anything I had said to him when I bragged about you (GW)

7:14a

Indeed, I was not embarrassed

Indeed: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Indeed is often translated as “for” or “because.” In this context it introduces another reason for Paul’s joy (7:13c). For example:

For (RSV)

In some languages it is more natural to allow the context to indicate the connection and omit the conjunction.

embarrassed: This word refers to feeling anxious and uncomfortable because of a difficulty that one was responsible for. Paul would have been embarrassed if the believers had not obeyed him, because he was their leader. Other ways to translate this word are:

made to look foolish (NJB)

put to shame (RSV)

7:14b

by anything I had boasted to him about you.

I had boasted: This clause refers to the time before Titus left Paul and went to Corinth. Titus’ trip to Corinth and back probably lasted a month or more. Another example is:

Earlier I boasted

boasted: This word refers to praising someone or saying how good someone is. Other ways to translate this word are:

speak very highly about

praise

tell about how great/wonderful/good

See how you translated this word in 1:12.

7:14c

But just as everything we said to you was true,

7:14c–d

just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well: These words compare the phrase everything we said to you and the phrase our boasting to Titus. Both phrases were true. Here is another way to translate this:

We have always spoken the truth to you, and in the same way the boast we made to Titus has proved true (GNT)

7:14d

so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.

our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as has proved to be true is literally “became truth.” Before Titus arrived in Corinth, Paul’s boasts were his expectations about the believers in Corinth. After the believers did as Paul expected, his boasts became true. Other ways to translate this clause are:

our boasting about you to Titus has shown itself to be true

your deeds have shown that our boasting about you to Titus was true

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι εἰ τὶ αὐτῷ ὑπέρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὒ κατῃσχύνθην ἀλλʼ ὡς παντᾶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν οὕτως καί ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἐπί Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη)

Here, the word For introduces another reason why Paul and his fellow workers rejoiced even more abundantly ([7:13](../07/13.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: [Also, we rejoiced since,] or [Further,]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἴ τι αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι, οὐ κατῃσχύνθην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι εἰ τὶ αὐτῷ ὑπέρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὒ κατῃσχύνθην ἀλλʼ ὡς παντᾶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν οὕτως καί ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἐπί Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη)

Paul is speaking as if his boasting about the Corinthians were a possibility, but he means that it is actually true. He uses this form to introduce what he said about the Corinthians that might have caused him to be ashamed if it were not true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that introduces something that Paul did that might have led to being ashamed. Alternate translation: [I was not ashamed because of what I had boasted to him about you] or [what I boasted to him about you did not cause me to be ashamed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐ κατῃσχύνθην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι εἰ τὶ αὐτῷ ὑπέρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὒ κατῃσχύνθην ἀλλʼ ὡς παντᾶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν οὕτως καί ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἐπί Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [I did not feel shame] or [you did not shame me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντα & ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι εἰ τὶ αὐτῷ ὑπέρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὒ κατῃσχύνθην ἀλλʼ ὡς παντᾶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν οὕτως καί ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἐπί Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη)

Here Paul could be referring to: (1) everything he has told the Corinthians, including the gospel. Alternate translation: [we spoke everything we have told you]; (2) specifically what he told the Corinthians about his travel plans. Alternate translation: [we spoke to you about our travel plans]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ἀληθείᾳ

in truth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [truthfully] or [in a truthful way]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἡ ἐπὶ Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη

the boasting ˱of˲_us (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι εἰ τὶ αὐτῷ ὑπέρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὒ κατῃσχύνθην ἀλλʼ ὡς παντᾶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν οὕτως καί ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἐπί Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of boasting and truth, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [what we boasted about became true with reference to Titus]

OET (OET-LV) Because if anything to_him about you_all I_have_boasted, not I_was_disgraced, but as all things in truth we_spoke to_you_all, thus also the boasting of_us to Titos truth was_become.

OET (OET-RV) Yes, if I’ve boasted anything about you all to him, I wasn’t disgraced, but as we spoke the truth to you all about everything, so also did our boasting to Titos become true

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
