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.

8:9 your ¦ our PCK
T4T You already know how much our Lord Jesus did for you that you did not deserve. Everything in heaven belonged to him. But in order to benefit you, he left all of those things behind and became a human being. Here on earth he had very few possessions of his own. But because he became poor like that, he is able to cause you (pl) to become spiritually rich.

8.9 Egenus factus est. Non ait, pauper factus est, cum dives fuisset: sed, cum dives esset. Paupertatem enim assumpsit, et divitias non amisit: intus dives, foris pauper; latens Deus in divitiis, apparens homo in paupertate. Ut inopia illi. Per illius enim paupertatem abjicicimus pannos iniquitatis, ut induamur stola immortalitatis. Omnes ergo divites facti sunt, in pauperem Christum credentes. Nemo ergo se contemnat pauper in cella, dives in conscientia. Securior dormit in terra, quam auro dives in purpura. Non ergo expavescas cum-tua mendicitate ad illum accedere qui indutus nostra paupertate, ubi se pauperavit, nos ditavit.

8:9 υμας ¦ ημας PCK
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
8:9 The model for generous giving is the Lord himself, who was rich in the Father’s presence (John 17:5, 24) yet became poor by accepting a human existence and death on the cross (see Phil 2:6-11). By that self-giving sacrifice, he could make people rich with the blessings of salvation.

γὰρ

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the Corinthians should give money to help fellow believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: [That is because,] or [Now you should abound in giving because]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν χάριν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
the grace ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

Here, Paul is speaking of what God considers valuable, including blessings, power, and honor, as if it were wealth. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the idea with a simile or plain language. Alternate translation: [he became like a poor person for your sake, though he was like a rich person, so that by what was like that one’s poverty, you might become like rich people] or [he gave up blessings and honor for your sake, though he had possessed great blessings and honor, so that by giving those things up, you might receive blessings and honor]
