Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

οὓς ἐὰν δοκιμάσητε

whomever ¬if ˱you_all˲_˓may˒_approve

Here, those whom the Corinthians approve are those whom they consider to be trustworthy and able to accomplish the task of taking the money to Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express whomever you might approve with a word or phrase that refers to choosing people to accomplish a specific task. Alternate translation: [whomever you might choose] or [whomever you might commission]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὓς ἐὰν δοκιμάσητε & τούτους πέμψω

whomever ¬if ˱you_all˲_˓may˒_approve & these ˱I˲_˓will_be˒_sending

Here Paul identifies whom he is talking about first (whomever you might approve) and then refers back to that phrase by using them in the next clause. If your readers would find this structure confusing, you could restructure the sentence and indicate what Paul is talking about in another way. Alternate translation: [I will send whomever you might approve]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δι’ ἐπιστολῶν

by letters

In Paul’s culture, messengers and travelers often carried a letter or letters that were meant to introduce them to the person they were going to visit. These kinds of letters usually stated that the messenger or traveler was trustworthy and should be welcomed. You can find the sorts of things that would be written in these types of letters in [2 Corinthians 8:16–24](../2co/08/16.md). Here, the letters could be from: (1) Paul. Alternate translation: [with letters of introduction from me] (2) the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [with your letters of introduction]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν χάριν ὑμῶν

the grace ˱of˲_you_all

Here, your gift refers to the money that the Corinthians have “collected.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express your gift by clarifying that it is the gift of the money that they have “put aside.” Alternate translation: [your money] or [your contribution]
