UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ὅτι

that

The connecting words here could indicate: (1) a comparison. Paul may be comparing the faithfulness of God to his own commitment to speak truthfully to the Corinthian believers. Alternate translation: “and in the same way,” (2) a result. Paul may be saying that he is faithful in his speaking because he is following God’s example to be faithful. Alternate translation: “so, because of that,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ λόγος ἡμῶν

¬the the word ˱of˲_us

Paul is using the term our word to refer to any message that he gave to the Corinthians by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “our message”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ναὶ καὶ οὔ

yes and no

Here, “Yes” and “No” represents the speech of a person who says contradictory things. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “out of both sides of our mouth” or “one thing and then its opposite”
