ULT Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers for your joy, for you stand firm in the faith.

UST When I say that, I do not mean that we are your masters who give you orders about what to believe and do. Instead, everything that we tell you about living for God is so that you will be joyful. We do not need to command you, because God himself tells you what to believe and do.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐχ ὅτι

not that

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I do not mean that” or “I do not say that because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κυριεύομεν

˱we˲_/are/_lording

Here, lord it over is an idiom that means “act like the masters of.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, use an idiom from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “we want to be in charge of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κυριεύομεν ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως

˱we˲_/are/_lording ˱of˲_you_all ˱over˲_the faith

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Here, faith could mean: (1) what the Corinthians believe. Alternate translation: “we dictate to you what you must believe” (2) how the Corinthians relate to God. Alternate translation: “we are in charge of your relationship to God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

συνεργοί ἐσμεν

fellow-workers ˱we˲_are

Here the pronoun we could refer to: (1) Paul and his companions, but not the Corinthian believers. (2) Paul, his companions, and the Corinthian believers. We recommend using the exclusive form here if your language marks that distinction, to be the same as the previous “we” in this verse.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς χαρᾶς ὑμῶν

˱over˲_the ˱of˲_the joy ˱with˲_you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “so that you will be joyful” or “to make you happy”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, for connects the following statement as a reason for the previous two statements. Use a natural form in your language for connecting this statement to the previous ones as the reason. Alternate translation: “since” or “because”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἑστήκατε

˱you_all˲_/have/_stood

Here, stand firm means to be steady, resolute, or established. Alternate translation: “you are well established” or “you are strong and steady”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ & πίστει

˱in˲_the & faith

Here, in the faith could mean: (1) “in regard to your faith.” In other words, the Corinthian believers are independent of Paul in regard to their faith. They are responsible only to God for what they believe and do. Alternate translation: “concerning your commitment to God” (2) “because of your faith.” In other words, the Corinthian believers continue to belong to God because of their faith, not because of Paul’s authority. Alternate translation: “because you trust in God”
