UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ὅτι

because

Here, the word For introduces an explanation of one way in which Titus showed the “earnestness” that Paul referred to in the previous verse (8:16). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation or basis for a previous statement. Alternate translation: [In fact,] or [For example,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν & παράκλησιν

our & appeal

Here Paul implies that the appeal was for Titus to visit the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: [our appeal that he visit you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξῆλθεν

˱he˲_came_out

Most likely, Titus and those who traveled with him took this letter to the Corinthians. In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [he has come]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

ἐξῆλθεν

˱he˲_came_out

Most likely, Titus and those who traveled with him took this letter from Paul to the Corinthians. Use whatever tense is most natural for referring to this action. Alternate translation: [he is going] or [he went]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αὐθαίρετος

voluntary

Here, the phrase of his own accord indicates that no one forced or required Titus to act as he did. Rather, he chose to do so on his own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression. See you how translated the similar phrase in 8:3. Alternate translation: [of his own free will] or [because he wanted to]
