2COR 11:11 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τί

for_reason why

Here Paul asks for the reason why he does not “burden” the Corinthians (See: 11:9). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this connection more explicit. Alternate translation: [Why do I not burden you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

διὰ τί? ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαπῶ ὑμᾶς?

for_reason why because not ˱I˲_/am/_loving you_all

Paul is using the question form to show the Corinthians that his reason for not burdening them was not that he did not love them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these two questions as statements or as exclamations, or you could combine them into one statement. Alternate translation: [I have a reason for this. However, it is not that I do not love you!] or [My reason is not that I do not love you.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Θεὸς οἶδεν

¬The God /has/_known_‹I_do›

Here Paul states that God knows something. He implies that God knows that Paul does in fact love the Corinthians. The phrase God knows makes the claim stronger, since God is the one who can prove that the claim is true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [God himself knows that I love you] or [You can know for sure that I love you, since God knows it]
