Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Paul said in the previous verse (8:20) 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
good not only before ˓the˒_Lord but also before people
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]
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.
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.
