2:5-11 These verses are the outcome of Paul’s earlier visit and the insult he received. Following Paul’s severe but tearful letter, the church condemned the behavior of the man who caused all the trouble and disciplined him (2:6). He repented, so now it was time to forgive and comfort him, as Paul had already done.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δέ
but
Here, the word Now introduces a development in Paul’s argument. In this case, Paul is concluding his discussion about the previous letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a development or a conclusion, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Finally,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ᾧ & τι χαρίζεσθε, κἀγώ
˱to˲_whomever & anything ˱you_all˲_/are/_forgiving also_I_‹forgive›
Here Paul could be making: (1) a specific statement about forgiving the person who “grieved” the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [to that person to whom you forgive anything, I also forgive] (2) a general concluding statement about forgiveness. Alternate translation: [to any person to whom you forgive anything, I also forgive]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
κἀγώ
also_I_‹forgive›
This clause leaves out some words that many languages might need to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the first half of the sentence. Alternate translation: [I also forgive it] or [I also forgive them for it]
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
καὶ γὰρ
also for
Here, the phrase for indeed indicates that Paul is adding more information (indeed) that supports what he said in the previous clause (for). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words that introduce added information that supports a previous statement. Alternate translation: [furthermore,] or [and in fact,]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ὃ κεχάρισμαι, εἴ τι κεχάρισμαι, δι’ ὑμᾶς
also for I what /have/_forgiven if anything ˱I˲_/have/_forgiven because_of you_all_‹it_is›
Here Paul includes the comment if I have forgiven anything in the middle of his sentence. Consider what may be a natural place to include extra information like this. Alternate translation: [for indeed, if I have forgiven anything, what I have forgiven is for your sake]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἴ τι κεχάρισμαι
if anything ˱I˲_/have/_forgiven
This clarification fits with what Paul said in 2:5 about how the person did not “grieve” him but rather the Corinthians. Paul could be saying that: (1) he does not have very much to forgive, since the person only hurt him a little. Alternate translation: [what little I had to forgive] (2) he really has nothing to forgive, since the person hurt the Corinthians, not him. Alternate translation: [although I have nothing to forgive]
δι’ ὑμᾶς
because_of you_all_‹it_is›
Here, the phrase for your sake could mean that: (1) Paul forgives the person in order to benefit or help the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [is for your benefit] (2) Paul forgives the person because the Corinthians forgave him. Alternate translation: [is because of you] or [is because you forgave]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν προσώπῳ Χριστοῦ
in /the/_presence ˱of˲_Christ
Here, the phrase in the presence of Christ could indicate that: (1) Paul forgives because he knows that Christ sees or knows what he does. So, he acts in a way that pleases Christ. Alternate translation: [as Christ desires] or [with Christ watching] (2) Paul forgives with Christ as witness. Alternate translation: [with Christ as witness] or [with Christ guaranteeing it] (3) Paul forgives as someone who represents Christ. Alternate translation: [as one who represents Christ]
