UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα

into the immeasurable

Here, the phrase to the immeasurable things could refer to: (1) how Paul and his fellow workers are not boasting beyond what God has “measured” to them. Alternate translation: “about what is not measured to us” (2) how Paul and those with him do not boast without any real standard. Alternate translation: “in unmeasured ways” or “without any standards”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ μέτρον τοῦ κανόνος

the measure ˱of˲_the domain

Here Paul uses the possessive form to describe a measure that could: (1) measure things according to a limit or standard. Alternate translation: “the measure based on the standard” (2) define a specific limit or area. Alternate translation: “the measure that identifies the area”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὗ ἐμέρισεν ἡμῖν ὁ Θεὸς μέτρου

˱of˲_which allotted ˱to˲_us ¬the God ˱of˲_/a/_measure

Here, the word measure could: (1) restate what it is that God has assigned to us. Alternate translation: “that God has assigned to us, which is a measure” (2) how God has assigned the measure of the limit. Alternate translation: “that God has assigned to us as a measure”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μέτρου, ἐφικέσθαι ἄχρι καὶ ὑμῶν

˱of˲_/a/_measure /to/_reach until also ˱of˲_you_all

Here Paul speaks as if a measure could reach out and touch a person. He means that the measure includes the Corinthians in what it measures. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in plain language. Alternate translation: “a measure that included even you” or “a measure that measured even as far as you”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐφικέσθαι ἄχρι καὶ ὑμῶν

/to/_reach until also ˱of˲_you_all

Here, the phrase that reached even as far as you indicates that the measure includes the Corinthians as something that Paul and his fellow workers can boast about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: “that reached even as far as you as something we can boast about” or “that extends what we can boast about to include you”
