2COR 13:6 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 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-condition-fact

ἐλπίζω

˱I˲_/am/_hoping

Paul speaks as if he were uncertain about whether or not the Corinthian believers would understand that he is a true follower or apostle of Christ. He does this in order to convey modesty, but he is actually sure that they know that he is a true follower of Christ. If your language does not state something as uncertain if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Paul is saying here is uncertain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “I am sure”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ἡμεῖς & ἐσμὲν

we & are

Here the word ourselves emphasizes that Paul is talking about his apostolic team, who introduced the Corinthian believers to Jesus Christ. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “we, yes, we, are” or “we, who serve Jesus, are”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡμεῖς & ἐσμὲν

we & are

Paul is referring here to himself and his apostolic team, who introduced the Corinthian believers to Jesus Christ. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “we, the very ones who brought you to Christ, are”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἐσμὲν ἀδόκιμοι

we not are unqualified

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative word unapproved. Alternate translation: “we ourselves are approved” or “we ourselves live as one with the Messiah”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἐσμὲν ἀδόκιμοι

we not are unqualified

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. If you need to say who did the testing or approving, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “we ourselves have passed this test” or “God has accepted us ourselves as his own”
