TSNTyndale Study Notes:

11:12 Paul’s motive in refusing to accept support from the Corinthians (11:7-11) was to show them what true Christian service is like in contrast to the ministry of those who were looking for an opportunity to boast.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces the real reason why Paul does not burden the Corinthians, in contrast to the false reason he denied in the previous verse (See: 11:11). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: [In contrast,]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ὃ & ποιῶ, καὶ ποιήσω

what & ˱I˲_/am/_doing also ˱I˲_/will_be/_doing

Here, the phrase what I do refers to how Paul does not ask for money from the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the referent for this phrase explicit. Alternate translation: [I will also continue not accepting money from you] or [I will also continue not burdening you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκκόψω

˱I˲_/may/_cut_off

Here Paul speaks of removing an opportunity as it were cutting off or destroying something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language. Alternate translation: [I may defeat] or [I may remove]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν ἀφορμὴν τῶν θελόντων ἀφορμήν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καυχῶνται, εὑρεθῶσιν καθὼς καὶ ἡμεῖς

the opportunity ˱of˲_the_‹ones› wanting /an/_opportunity in_order_that in what ˱they˲_/are/_boasting ˱they˲_/may_be/_found as also we

Here, the word opportunity refers to a chance or ability to do something. Paul explains what the opportunity relates to by using the clause that in what they are boasting about they may be found just as we also are. Use a form that clearly introduces what an opportunity relates to. Alternate translation: [any opportunity of the ones desiring an opportunity to be found just as we also are in what they are boasting about]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἀφορμὴν τῶν θελόντων ἀφορμήν, ἵνα

the opportunity ˱of˲_the_‹ones› wanting /an/_opportunity in_order_that

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of opportunity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what some people want to happen, which is that] or [what is desired by the ones who desire that]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν ᾧ καυχῶνται

in what ˱they˲_/are/_boasting

Here Paul is referring generally to anything a person might boast about. He is not identifying a specific thing that people boast about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [in anything they boast about]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εὑρεθῶσιν

˱they˲_/may_be/_found

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. If you must state who does the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [others might find them] or [people might consider them to be]
