TSNTyndale Study Notes:

10:13-16 Paul had not trespassed on the limits God set for his missionary service, which includes our working with you. So he justifies his integrity and authority, insisting that when he first came to Corinth (Acts 18:1-17) he did so in response to God’s call. Paul was determined not to enter someone else’s territory (see Rom 15:20), but he was the first to travel all the way to Corinth with the Good News of Christ. His more recent opponents visited the church much later (2 Cor 11:4), so their claim to Corinth as their territory was empty.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰ ὑπερέκεινα ὑμῶν

the_‹parts› beyond you_all

Here, the phrase the places beyond you refers to the areas and people who lived to the west of Corinth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that identifies these areas and people more explicitly. Alternate translation: [the places west of you] or [the places I would go if I traveled through your town]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐν ἀλλοτρίῳ κανόνι & τὰ ἕτοιμα

in another’s domain & the ready_‹things›

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the things someone has accomplished in his or her area]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν ἀλλοτρίῳ κανόνι

in another’s domain

Here, just as with the word “limit” in 10:15, the word area could refer to: (1) a measure or standard according to which people serve God. In this case, the accomplished things are done according to a measure or standard that fits with someone else besides Paul and his fellow workers. Alternate translation: [according to what God has called other people to do] or [in what God wants others to do] (2) the area or places in which people serve God. In this case, God increases or enlarges the areas in which someone else besides Paul and his fellow workers serve. Alternate translation: [according to where other people serve] or [in the places in which other people serve]
