TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1 Paul’s previous visit had been very painful and had caused him great distress. This visit is not recorded in Acts; it apparently took place during Paul’s three-year ministry in Ephesus (see Acts 19:8-22). During that visit, Paul severely rebuked the church (2 Cor 1:23) and was insulted by an unnamed man (2:5-11).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation of what Paul said in 1:23 about the reason why he did not visit Corinth, which was to spare them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces an explanation. Alternate translation: “Here is why I have not come to Corinth:” or “So”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐμαυτῷ τοῦτο τὸ μὴ

˱by˲_myself this ¬which not

Here, the word this refers ahead to what Paul is about to say: not to come to you again in sorrow. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what this refers to explicit, or you could rephrase the sentence so that you do not use this. Alternate translation: “for myself what follows: not” or “for myself not”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐμαυτῷ

˱by˲_myself

Here the phrase for myself indicates that Paul made this choice because of reasons he thought about. In other words, he was not forced to make this choice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates that someone made their own choice or decision. Alternate translation: “on my own” or “in my own mind”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

τὸ μὴ & ἐλθεῖν

¬which not & /to/_come

In a context such as this, it may be more natural in your language to say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “not to go”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάλιν

again

Here, the word again implies that Paul has already visited the Corinthians in sorrow. He does not give many details about this visit. It cannot be the first time that he visited the Corinthians, so he must have visited them again in sorrow sometime between when he first met them and when he wrote this letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the implication more explicit. Alternate translation: “a second time” or “yet again”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν λύπῃ

in sorrow

Here the ones who experience the sorrow could be: (1) Paul and the Corinthians. Alternate translation: “in sorrow for all of us” (2) just the Corinthians. Alternate translation: “in sorrow for you”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν λύπῃ

in sorrow

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sorrow, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “sorrowful” or “sad.” Alternate translation: “in a sorrowful way” or “in a way that makes us sad”
