Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ἀλλ’
but
Here, the word But introduces a contrast with the “conflicts” and “fears” that Paul described in the previous verse (7:5). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “In spite of that,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
ὁ παρακαλῶν τοὺς ταπεινοὺς
the_‹one› comforting the humble
Here Paul is adding more information about God. He is not distinguishing between different gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that clearly adds information instead of distinguishing between people. Alternate translation: “who is the one who comforts the humble”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τοὺς ταπεινοὺς
the humble
Paul is using the adjective humble as a noun in order to refer to all people who are humble. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “the humble people” or “those who are humble”
ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ Τίτου
by the coming ˱of˲_Titus
Alternate translation: “by sending Titus to us”
7:5-7 Paul’s joy leads him to tell about his recent meeting with Titus, whose presence was a joy when he joined Paul in Macedonia (see study note on 2:14–7:4; Acts 20:1-2).
• Initially, Paul had no rest (this Greek word is used in 2 Cor 2:13, where it is rendered “peace of mind”) but only conflict, battles, and fear. Paul was deeply discouraged, but he received encouragement from God, who encourages those who are discouraged (cp. Ps 42:5-6). Titus arrived from Corinth with the news that Paul’s letter (see 2 Cor 2:3-4) had done its work (7:8-16). This was the chief cause of Paul’s joy.
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.
