OET (OET-LV) In_order that to_exhort us Titos, in_order_that as he_previously_began, thus also he_may_accomplish in you_all also the grace this.

OET (OET-RV) So we encouraged Titos that just as he began to do previously, that he would go on to cultivate this generosity in you.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–15: Be generous as you are able

The believers in Corinth had previously decided to collect money to send to the poor believers in Jerusalem (1 Corinthians 16:1–4). In this section, Paul spoke of the generous gift of money from the believers in Macedonia and their attitude in giving (2 Corinthians 8:1–5). Paul hoped that the believers in Corinth would follow that example of giving.

Then Paul told them that Titus was coming to them to help collect the money (8:6). Paul encouraged them to give generously just as they did other things well (8:7). He indicated that he wanted to see that they were sincere in their promise to help the poor with this gift (8:8). He further encouraged them by using the example of Jesus giving (8:9).

Then Paul advised them how best to collect the money for the gift (8:10–11). Then he explained that what matters is giving according to what each person has (8:12). The goal in giving is equality, not making oneself poor for the sake of others (8:13–15).

Other examples for this section heading are:

Encouragement to Be Generous (NRSV)

A Call to Generous Giving (NLT)

Complete(plur) the collection for the poor believers in Jerusalem

8:6a–b

So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it: The reason, just as he had started it, occurs at the end of the verse. In some languages it is more natural to state the reason before or after the main clause. For example:

Titus was the one who got you started doing this good thing, so we begged him to have you finish what you had begun (CEV)

So we asked Titus to help you finish this special work of grace since he is the one who started it (NCV)

8:6a

So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace,

to help complete: This phrase indicates that Titus would help the believers in Corinth finish collecting the money for the gift. Other ways to translate this are:

he should also complete (RSV)

help you complete (GNT)

your act of grace: The Greek words are literally “this grace.” Here the word grace refers to the gift of money to the poor believers in Jerusalem. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

this gracious work (RSV)

this gift

this work of generosity (NJB)

this act of kindness (NET)

this ministry of giving (NLT)

your: This phrase indicates that the believers in Corinth were responsible for their gift. Titus would help them, but they needed to be ready to give. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

among you (RSV)

encourage you to finish (NLT)

8:6b

just as he had started it.

just as he had started it: Perhaps a year earlier, Titus was in Corinth and had helped the believers to begin collecting money to send to Jerusalem. Other ways to translate this clause are:

who began this work (GNT)

since he is the one who started it (NCV)

who encouraged your giving in the first place (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καθὼς προενήρξατο

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰς τό παρακαλέσαι ἡμάς Τίτον ἵνα καθώς προενήρξατο οὕτως καί ἐπιτελέσῃ εἰς ὑμᾶς καί τήν χάριν ταύτην)

Here Paul could be implying that Titus already began: (1) the grace, which is collecting money for the believers in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [just as he began this grace] (2) to work for the sake of the Corinthians in general. Alternate translation: [just as he began to serve you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ τὴν χάριν ταύτην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰς τό παρακαλέσαι ἡμάς Τίτον ἵνα καθώς προενήρξατο οὕτως καί ἐπιτελέσῃ εἰς ὑμᾶς καί τήν χάριν ταύτην)

Here, the word grace refers to what it did in [8:4](../08/04.md): being able to contribute money to what Paul was collecting for believers in Jerusalem. If possible, translate it as you did in [8:4](../08/04.md). Alternate translation: [this gift as well] or [this gracious act of giving as well]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

καὶ τὴν χάριν ταύτην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰς τό παρακαλέσαι ἡμάς Τίτον ἵνα καθώς προενήρξατο οὕτως καί ἐπιτελέσῃ εἰς ὑμᾶς καί τήν χάριν ταύτην)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what you also are graciously contributing] or [what you also are giving]

OET (OET-RV) So we encouraged Titos that just as he began to do previously, that he would go on to cultivate this generosity in you.

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.
