Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:5–16: Paul was glad that the believers repented

In this section, Paul explained why he had great joy. Earlier he had sent Titus to Corinth because he wanted to know what the believers there were doing and whether they still accepted him. Paul had then gone to Macedonia, a northern province of Greece (7:5). He had met Titus there (7:6), and Titus had reported that the believers still accepted Paul and loved him (7:7a–d).

Then, in 7:8–9, Paul wrote that he was happy because the believers had responded properly to his earlier stern letter (also mentioned in 2:1–4; see also the section on “Paul’s letters to the Corinthians” in the introduction to these Notes). Paul explained the proper results of repentance (7:10–11). Lastly, Paul told them the reason for writing that letter (7:12–13a).

Then Paul told them that he was both encouraged and happy that they had responded properly to Titus (7:13b–16).

Other examples of headings for this section are:

Paul’s Joy (NIV)

Paul’s joy at the repentance of the Corinthians

Titus’ news comforts Paul and makes him happy

7:16

I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.

I rejoice that I am certain that you^(plur) will do the right/proper thing in every matter.
I am very happy because I am confident in your deeds/behavior/faith in all things.

I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as complete is literally “in everything” (as in the NASB). Paul was confident that the believers would do the right thing in any situation. For example:

I’m pleased that I can be confident about you in every way (GW)

In this division, Paul encouraged the believers in Corinth to be generous when giving money for the poor believers in Jerusalem. He used the believers in Macedonia as an example of generous givers (8:1–15). He told the believers in Corinth that Titus and two other believers were coming there to get the gift ready to give. He reminded them of their earlier eagerness to give (8:16–9:5). He encouraged them again to complete this desire to give and to do so generously, as well as to give joyously (9:6–15).
