UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καθὼς

Here, just as could introduce: (1) the reason why the Corinthians were made rich. Alternate translation: “which is due to how” (2) a comparison that illustrates how the Corinthians were made rich. Alternate translation: “in the same way that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐβεβαιώθη

the testimony ˱of˲_the Messiah /was/_confirmed

In this verse, Paul speaks as if what he told the Corinthians about Christ were testimony he gave as a witness in a court of law. This testimony has been confirmed, just as if other evidence proved to the judge that his testimony was accurate. With this metaphor, Paul reminds the Corinthians that they have believed the message about Christ and that it is now an important part of their lives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this metaphor with a comparable metaphor or express it plainly. Alternate translation: “our message about Christ has been established”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ

the testimony ˱of˲_the Messiah

Here Paul uses the possessive form to speak about a testimony that concerns Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it explicit that Christ is the content of the testimony. Alternate translation: “the testimony about Christ”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐβεβαιώθη

the testimony ˱of˲_the Messiah /was/_confirmed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on what is confirmed rather than the person doing the “confirming.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: “God has confirmed the testimony of Christ”
