The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε

yourselves ˱you_all˲_/are/_knowing

Paul is adding the word yourselves for emphasis. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: [You know very well]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ταῖς χρείαις μου & ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται

˱to˲_the needs ˱of˲_me & attended ¬the hands these

Paul is speaking of his hands as if they were a living thing that ministered to his needs, that is, worked to pay his expenses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I worked with my hands to pay my own expenses]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ τοῖς οὖσι μετ’ ἐμοῦ

and ˱to˲_the_‹ones› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε ὅτι ταῖς χρείαις μου καὶ τοῖς οὖσιν μετʼ ἐμοῦ ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται)

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and to the needs of those who were with me]
