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 as a tool 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 / infostructure

τὴν δὲ αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν (ὡς τέκνοις λέγω) πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς

˱for˲_the and ˓the˒_same recompense as ˱to˲_children ˱I˲_˓am˒_speaking ˓be˒_widened also you_all

Here, the clause I speak as to children is a parenthetical statement that breaks up the sentence to give more information about how Paul is speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could move the clause to wherever it is most natural to put a statement about how one is speaking. Alternate translation: [and—I speak as to children—in the same exchange, open yourselves wide also] or [and in the same exchange, open yourselves wide also—I speak as to children]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν & αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν

˱for˲_the & ˓the˒_same recompense

Here, the phrase same exchange refers to how Paul and his fellow workers have “opened their hearts” (that is, shown love) to the Corinthians. This is the first part of the exchange, and now Paul wants the Corinthians to complete this exchange by opening themselves to Paul and his fellow workers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express what is being exchanged more explicitly. Alternate translation: [now that we have opened our hearts to you, in exchange]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς τέκνοις λέγω

as ˱to˲_children ˱I˲_˓am˒_speaking

Here Paul indicates that he is speaking as if he were addressing children. He could mean that: (1) he is using words and ideas that children use, particularly referring to the idea of exchange. Alternate translation: [I am using childish language] or [I speak as children speak to each other] (2) he is speaking to the Corinthians as if he was their father and they were his children. Alternate translation: [I speak to you who are like my own children]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς

˓be˒_widened also you_all

Here Paul continues to speak about loving others as if it were about having space in one’s insides. When people have space for other people inside them, they love and care for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a similar figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar clause at the end of [6:11](../06/11.md). Alternate translation: [make space in your hearts also] or [love us also]
