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 verses (11:16–18) about how he wants the Corinthians to listen to him even if they think he is foolish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces further explanation. Alternate translation: [Indeed,] or [You can listen to me since]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

ἡδέως & ἀνέχεσθε τῶν ἀφρόνων, φρόνιμοι ὄντες

gladly & ˱you_all˲_/are/_tolerating ˱of˲_the foolish prudent being

Here Paul speaks from the perspective of some of the Corinthians, who think that they are wise and that he is foolish. He speaks in this way to show them that how they are thinking is silly and wrong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that more clearly shows that Paul is speaking from another person’s perspective. Alternate translation: [in your view you gladly bear with the foolish, since you think you are wise] or [according to some people, you are wise, so you gladly bear with the foolish]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν ἀφρόνων

˱of˲_the foolish

Paul is using the adjective foolish as a noun to refer to people who are foolish. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [any foolish person]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὄντες

being

Here, the word being introduces the basis or reason why the Corinthians can bear with the foolish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis. Alternate translation: [since you are]
