Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed 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. 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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

10:7-11 The rival teachers were evidently claiming to be Christ’s representatives in some superior way that excluded Paul because of his weakness. Here he defines having true authority as distinct from being a domineering authoritarian. His authority was to build up God’s people, not to demolish them (see 13:10), yet he intended to deal firmly with these rivals when he came to Corinth (see 13:1).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, the phrase so that could introduce: (1) a general inference or result based on what Paul has already said. Alternate translation: and so] (2) the purpose for which the Lord gave authority to Paul (See: [10:8). Alternate translation: and he gave me authority so that] (3) the purpose for what Paul says in [10:11. If you use the following alternate translation, you will need to end the previous verse with a period. Alternate translation: [Let people consider what I am about to say so that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν

by my letters

Here Paul refers in general to letters he sends to the Corinthians. He is probably including both 1 Corinthians and the other “severe” letter he has already mentioned. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that refers to Paul’s letters to the Corinthians in general. Alternate translation: [through any letters I write] or [through the letters I have sent]
