UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ

Paul speaks as if this were a hypothetical situation, but he means that it is true. 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 an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [When] or [Because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὰ τῆς ἀσθενείας

the_‹things› ˱of˲_the weakness

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe things about him that are characterized by weakness. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [weak things about me] or [the weaknesses I have]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὰ τῆς ἀσθενείας

the_‹things› ˱of˲_the weakness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of weakness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [things about me that are weak]
