SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:16–9:5: Titus and others went to Corinth

In this section, Paul told the believers in Corinth that Titus had gone to them (8:16–17) to help them prepare the gift for Paul to take (9:5). An unnamed believer went along with Titus, and Paul described his standing in other churches (8:18–19b). Then Paul described how they intended to be careful regarding this gift (8:19c–21). Paul referred to another unnamed believer who was going with Titus (8:22). He described the standing of Titus and the two believers going with him (8:23) and encouraged the believers in Corinth to treat them well (8:24).

Then Paul reminded the believers in Corinth of their own attitudes regarding this gift (9:1–2) and his goal (9:3–4).

Other examples for this section heading are:

The delegates recommended to the Corinthians (NJB)

Paul commended Titus and his companions

Titus and his companions came to help finish collecting the gift

8:21a

For we are taking great care to do what is right,

For: This conjunction introduces a further explanation about Paul’s desire to administer the gift properly. In some languages it is more natural to allow the context to indicate the connection and omit the conjunction.

we are taking great care to do what is right: The Greek words are literally “we think beforehand about good/noble.” Other ways to translate this are:

we are planning/thinking ahead of time about doing what is right

we plan beforehand the proper things to do

we are concerned about what is right (NET)

we are taking pains to do what is right (NIV)

8:21b

not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.

not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men: These words indicate that Paul and the other evangelists wanted to things in ways that both the Lord and other people would accept. Other ways to translate this are:

not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the sight of people (NJB)

what the Lord accepts as right and also what people think is right (NCV)

We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable (NLT)

that which the Lord calls appropriate, as well as that which people call appropriate

Lord: The word Lord probably refers to God here. In some languages it is more natural to include “God” in this phrase. For example:

Lord God

men: Here this word refers generally to people. For example:

others (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: προνοοῦμεν γάρ καλά οὒ μόνον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἀλλά καί ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπων)

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Paul said in the previous verse ([8:20](../08/20.md)) about avoiding blame from others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καλὰ, οὐ μόνον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: προνοοῦμεν γάρ καλά οὒ μόνον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἀλλά καί ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπων)

Here Paul speaks as if what is good were in front of or before both the Lord and men. He means that he cares about both what men and the Lord think is good. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [not only what is good in the Lord’s eyes, but also what is good in men’s eyes] or [not only what the Lord considers to be proper, but also what men consider to be proper]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

people

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [humans] or [men and women]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:18-24 Two other Christian men would travel with Titus to Corinth in order to guard against any criticism over the handling of the relief funds that they collected (8:20-21). Titus and his companions would ensure that the money was properly handled. The identity of the two companions is unknown.
