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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:2-4 Please open your hearts to us: Paul picks up his plea from 6:11-13 (see study note on 6:14–7:1). Paul had a deep concern for the churches (11:28), expressed by seeking a close bond of fellowship. When he was misunderstood, he explained his actions, as he does here.
• We have not . . . taken advantage of anyone: That is, by taking their money.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

χωρήσατε ἡμᾶς; οὐδένα ἠδικήσαμεν, οὐδένα ἐφθείραμεν, οὐδένα ἐπλεονεκτήσαμεν

have_room ˱for˲_us no_one ˱we˲_did_wrong no_one ˱we˲_corrupted no_one ˱we˲_exploited

Here and in the rest of this chapter, by us and we Paul means himself and his fellow workers but not the Corinthians, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

χωρήσατε ἡμᾶς

have_room ˱for˲_us

Here, just as in [6:11–13](../06/11.md), Paul speaks of loving others as if it were about having space for others in one’s insides. When people have space for other people inside them, they are loving and caring for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a similar figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Show love for us] or [Make room in your hearts for us]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

οὐδένα ἠδικήσαμεν, οὐδένα ἐφθείραμεν, οὐδένα ἐπλεονεκτήσαμεν

no_one ˱we˲_did_wrong no_one ˱we˲_corrupted no_one ˱we˲_exploited

Here Paul uses three phrases with similar structure and meaning to strongly deny that he did anything to hurt any of the Corinthians. It is possible that the word wronged refers to doing something unjust, the word ruined refers to corrupting or perverting someone, and the phrase took advantage of refers to gaining money or things from somebody without doing anything in return. If the repetition would not communicate a strong denial in your language, or if you do not have three words for these ideas, you could express the idea with only one or two strong clauses. Alternate translation: [We wronged and took advantage of no one] or [We did not hurt any person]
