UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὐχ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε, ἀλλ’ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε εἰς μετάνοιαν

not that ˱you_all˲_/were/_sorrowed but that ˱you_all˲_/were/_sorrowed into repentance

If your language would not naturally put the negative statement before the positive statement, you could reverse the two clauses here. Alternate translation: “that you were grieved to the point of repentance, not that you were grieved”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence -1) ἐλυπήθητε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: νῦν χαίρω οὐχ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε ἀλλʼ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε εἰς μετάνοιαν ἐλυπήθητε γὰρ κατὰ Θεόν ἵνα ἐν μηδενὶ ζημιωθῆτε ἐξ ἡμῶν)

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 action, Paul implies that he himself or his letter did it. Alternate translation: “I grieved you … I grieved you … I grieved you” or “my letter grieved you … it grieved you … my letter grieved you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς μετάνοιαν

into repentance

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of repentance, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “repent.” Alternate translation: “so that you repented” or “in such a way that you repented”

κατὰ Θεόν

according_to God

Here, the phrase with respect to God indicates that how the Corinthians were grieved was how God desires people to be grieved. In other words, their “grief” was pleasing to God or “godly.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that expresses this idea more clearly. Alternate translation: “in a godly way” or “as God approves”

Θεόν, ἵνα

God in_order_that

Here, the word translated so that could introduce: (1) a result. Alternate translation: “God, with the result that” (2) a purpose. Alternate translation: “God in order that”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν μηδενὶ ζημιωθῆτε ἐξ ἡμῶν

in nothing ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_lost by us

Here Paul explains that the Corinthians were not harmed or injured in any way by how they were grieved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “you did not lose anything because of us” or “you were not harmed in any way by us”
