Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, Κορίνθιοι, ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται

the mouth ˱of˲_us /has/_opened_up to you_all Corinthians the heart ˱of˲_us /has_been/_widened

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the actions, Paul implies that he and his fellow workers did them. Alternate translation: [We have opened our mouth toward you, Corinthians; we have opened our heart wide]

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν & ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν

the mouth ˱of˲_us & the heart ˱of˲_us

Here, the words mouth and heart are singular nouns that refer to the mouths and hearts of Paul and his fellow workers. It may be more natural in your language to use plural forms. Alternate translation: [Each of our mouths … each of our hearts]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν & ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν

the mouth ˱of˲_us & the heart ˱of˲_us

Here, the word mouth refers to the action of speaking with the mouth, and the word heart refers to the act of thinking and feeling with the heart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words or phrases that refer to the actions rather than to where the actions occur. Alternate translation: [Our speaking … our feeling] or [How we speak … how we feel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς

the mouth ˱of˲_us /has/_opened_up to you_all

Here Paul speaks as if he and his fellow workers had opened their mouths toward the Corinthians. He means that he and his fellow workers have spoken what is true, and they have spoken confidently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language. Paul could be specifically referring to: (1) how he and his fellow workers have interacted with the Corinthians in the past. Alternate translation: We have always spoken confidently and truthfully to you] (2) what he has said in this letter so far. Alternate translation: [We have written confidently and truthfully to you] (3) what he said in [6:3–10. Alternate translation: [We wrote those things to you confidently and truthfully]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται

the heart ˱of˲_us /has_been/_widened

Here Paul speaks as if he and his fellow workers have opened wide their “hearts” to the Corinthians. He means that they love and care for the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or plain language. Alternate translation: [we have made room in our hearts for you] or [we love you very much]
