UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

παρακαλῶν ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ θλίψει ἡμῶν

comforting us in all the tribulation ˱of˲_us

Here and continuing through verse 5, the pronouns us, our, and we probably include the Corinthian believers.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

εἰς τὸ

in_order that

This phrase introduces a purpose clause. Paul is stating the purpose for which God gives us afflictions and then comfort. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: [in order that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὁ παρακαλῶν ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ θλίψει ἡμῶν, εἰς τὸ δύνασθαι ἡμᾶς παρακαλεῖν τοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει

the_‹one› comforting us in all the tribulation ˱of˲_us in_order that ˓to_be˒_able us ˓to_be˒_comforting the_‹ones› in every tribulation

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of affliction and tribulation, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [the one comforting us whenever people afflict us so that we are able to comfort others whenever people afflict them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

διὰ τῆς παρακλήσεως ἧς παρακαλούμεθα αὐτοὶ

through the comfort ˱with˲_which ˱we˲_˓are_being˒_comforted ourselves

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of comfort or would not use both the noun comfort and the verb comforted together, you could express the same idea by using only the verb. Alternate translation: [in the same way in which we ourselves are comforted] or [just as we ourselves are comforted]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

παρακαλούμεθα αὐτοὶ

˱we˲_˓are_being˒_comforted ourselves

Paul uses the word ourselves to emphasize that we, even though we are weak human beings, can comfort others as God comforted us. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: [even we are comforted]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

παρακαλούμεθα αὐτοὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱we˲_˓are_being˒_comforted ourselves by ¬the God

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. Alternate translation: [God comforts even us]
