Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

13:11 These last words are Paul’s final instructions.
• Be joyful: See also Phil 3:1; 4:4.
• Grow to maturity: See study note on 2 Cor 13:9—Paul’s encouragement might be that they aim for restoration.
• Encourage each other: The need for encouragement has been very prominent in 2 Corinthians, beginning with 1:3-7.
• Live in harmony: Literally Be of the same mind (as in Phil 2:1-4).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀδελφοί
brothers
Although the term brothers is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you retain the metaphor in your translation, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could say “brothers and sisters” to indicate this.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καταρτίζεσθε
/be_being/_prepared
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. See how you translated a form of this word at the end of verse 9. Alternate translation: [Work toward maturity] or [Decide to trust and obey God completely]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
παρακαλεῖσθε
/be_being/_comforted
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. The person doing the encouraging could be: (1) Paul. Alternate translation: [allow me to encourage you] (2) God. Alternate translation: [receive encouragement from God]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ αὐτὸ φρονεῖτε
the same /be/_thinking
Here, think the same means to agree on the most important things and to not argue about the lesser things. Alternate translation: [make sure that you all agree on what is important]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰρηνεύετε
/be/_being_at_peace
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [be peaceful with each other]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ὁ Θεὸς τῆς ἀγάπης καὶ εἰρήνης
the God ¬the ˱of˲_love and peace
Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe God as being characterized by love and peace. This probably means both that God is the source of love and peace and also that he enables his people to have love and peace. Try to include both meanings, if possible. Alternate translation: [God, who gives love and peace,]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ὁ Θεὸς τῆς ἀγάπης καὶ εἰρήνης
the God ¬the ˱of˲_love and peace
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of love and peace, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [God, who empowers you to love and to be peaceful,]
