UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἀλλ’

but

Here, the word But introduces a new section. It is does not primarily contrast with what Paul has already said, although it does introduce a change in focus from the Macedonians and Titus to the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a new section or a change in focus. Alternate translation: [Now] or [In your case,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἐν παντὶ

in everything

Paul says everything here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [in so many things] or [in very many ways]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πίστει, καὶ λόγῳ, καὶ γνώσει, καὶ πάσῃ σπουδῇ, καὶ τῇ ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐν ὑμῖν ἀγάπῃ

˱in˲_faith and speech and knowledge and all earnestness and the from us to you_all love

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of faith, speech, knowledge, earnestness, and love, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [that is, you are faithful, proper in what you speak, knowledgeable about many things, very earnest, and full of how we have loved you]

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐν ὑμῖν

from us to you_all

Many ancient manuscripts read from us in you. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “from you in us.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐν ὑμῖν

from us to you_all

Here, the phrase from us in you could indicate that: (1) the love is how Paul and his fellow workers feel about the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [that we have for you] (2) Paul and those with him enabled or caused the Corinthians to have love. Alternate translation: [that came from us and is now in you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ χάριτι

in to in this ¬the grace

Here, the word grace refers to what it did in 8:4, 6: being able to contribute money to what Paul was collecting for believers in Jerusalem. If possible, translate it as you did in those verses. Alternate translation: [in this gift] or [in this gracious act of giving]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ χάριτι

in to in this ¬the grace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in what you are graciously contributing] or [in what you are giving]
