# Paul begins an extended metaphor that speaks of the way that the Corinthians have been obeying Christ as if it were a letter that Christ had written first to Paul and his companions and then to all the people in the world. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# You yourselves are our letter of recommendation
Paul speaks of the Corinthians as if they are a letter of recommendation. That they have become believers serves to validate Paul's ministry to others. Alternate translation: "You yourselves are like our letter of recommendation" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# Paul continues the extended metaphor that he began in [verse 2](./02.md), which speaks of the way that the Corinthians have been obeying Christ as if it were a letter that Christ had written first to Paul and his companions and then to all the people in the world. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# you are a letter from Christ
Paul clarifies that Christ is the one who has written the letter. Alternate translation: "you are a letter that Christ has written" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
# delivered by us
# the result of our ministry
"brought by us"
Because of the work Paul and his companions had done, the world could look at the Corinthians and see how Christ blesses people in this life. Some versions read, "delivered by us."
# It was written not with ink ... on tablets of human hearts
