UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Paul said in the previous verse (9:15) about people who desire to be equal in boasting with him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

οἱ & τοιοῦτοι

¬the & such_‹are›

The pronoun ones refers to the people Paul mentioned in the previous verse who desire to be equal in boasting to Paul. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more explicitly. Alternate translation: [people of that kind] or [the ones who desire that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μετασχηματιζόμενοι εἰς ἀποστόλους

masquerading_‹themselves› for ambassadors

Here Paul means that these false apostles intentionally look and act like true apostles, even though they are not. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [posing as true apostles] or [acting as if they were apostles]
