2 COR 11:20 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 as a tool 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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces examples of what Paul said in the previous verse ([11:19](../11/19.md)) about how the Corinthians “bear with the foolish.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces examples. Alternate translation: [For example,]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἴ τις ὑμᾶς καταδουλοῖ, εἴ τις κατεσθίει, εἴ τις λαμβάνει, εἴ τις ἐπαίρεται, εἴ τις εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει

if anyone you_all ˓is˒_enslaving if anyone ˓is˒_devouring_‹you_all› if anyone ˓is˒_taking_‹you_all› if anyone ˓is˒_lifting_up_‹himself› if anyone in ˓the˒_face you_all ˓is˒_beating_‹you_all›

Paul speaks as if these were hypothetical situations, but he means that they have indeed happened. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Paul is saying is uncertain, then you could translate his words as simple statements. Alternate translation: [when anyone enslaves you, when anyone devours you, when anyone takes advantage of you, when anyone exalts himself, when anyone hits you in the face]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑμᾶς καταδουλοῖ

you_all ˓is˒_enslaving

Here Paul speaks as if some people make the Corinthians into slaves. He means that these people treated them like slaves and made them obey every one of their wishes and commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or plain language to express the idea. Alternate translation: [makes you like their slaves] or [causes you to serve them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κατεσθίει

˓is˒_devouring_‹you_all›

Here Paul speaks as if some people were eating the Corinthians. He means that these people were using up the money and goods the Corinthians had. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language to express the idea. Alternate translation: [consumes you] or [spends everything you have]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπαίρεται

˓is˒_lifting_up_‹himself›

Here Paul implies that these people are exalting themselves over the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [exalts himself over you] or [claims he is greater than you]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἐπαίρεται

˓is˒_lifting_up_‹himself›

Although the term himself is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Most likely the person who exalts would be a man, but Paul is not making this claim. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [exalts himself or herself]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει

in ˓the˒_face you_all ˓is˒_beating_‹you_all›

Here, the phrase hits you in the face could refer to: (1) a direct insult, which is like slapping someone in the face. Alternate translation: [acts like they are hitting you in the face] or [strongly insults you] (2) an actual slap on someone’s face. Alternate translation: [slaps you across the face]
