UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μικρόν τι ἀφροσύνης

little some ˱of˲_foolishness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of foolishness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “as I act a little foolishly” or “as I now say what is foolish”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μικρόν τι ἀφροσύνης

little some ˱of˲_foolishness

Here, the foolishness that Paul refers to is how he is about to boast about his qualifications as an apostle. Paul considers this to be foolishness, but he will boast anyways to help the Corinthians realize that he and the gospel that he preaches come from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what foolishness refers to more explicit. Alternate translation: “as I am about to be a little bit foolish” or “in a little bit of foolishness that I am about to speak”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀνέχεσθέ μου

but even /are/_tolerating ˱of˲_me

Here, this clause could be: (1) a statement of what the Corinthians are already doing, either as they listen to this letter or in the past when Paul visited them. Alternate translation: “but in fact you are already bearing with me” (2) a command to act in this way. Alternate translation: “and in fact you need to bear with me”
