UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces an exhortation based on what Paul has said in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces this kind of exhortation. Alternate translation: [Because of that] or [Since that is who they are]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τὴν & ἔνδειξιν τῆς ἀγάπης ὑμῶν, καὶ ἡμῶν καυχήσεως ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν

the & sign ˱of˲_the love ˱of˲_you_all and ˱of˲_us boasting about you_all

Here Paul wants the Corinthians to prove the proof. If this form is redundant in your language, you could express the idea without using the word proof. Alternate translation: [that your love is real and that our boasting about you is true]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς πρόσωπον τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν

to in face ˱of˲_the assemblies

Here Paul speaks as if the proof was directly in front of the faces of the churches. What he means is that the proof is something that the churches can see and know about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [in the sight of the churches] or [with the knowledge of the churches]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν & ἔνδειξιν τῆς ἀγάπης ὑμῶν, καὶ ἡμῶν καυχήσεως ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν

the & sign ˱of˲_the love ˱of˲_you_all and ˱of˲_us boasting about you_all

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of proof and love, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [that you do love others and that what we boasted about you is right]
