Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

παρακαλῶ δὲ

˱I˲_/am/_exhorting and

Here, Now indicates the beginning of a new section. Paul transitions from giving thanks to appealing to the Corinthians to avoid divisions. You could: (1) leave this word untranslated and show the shift in topic by starting a new paragraph. Alternate translation: “I urge” (2) use a word or phrase that indicates the beginning of a new section. Alternate translation: “Next, I urge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,

˱I˲_/am/_exhorting and you_all brothers by the name ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

In this sentence, the words I urge you are located far from what Paul is urging. If it would be helpful in your language, you could move I urge you so that it comes right before that you all speak. Alternate translation: “Now brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I urge you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Although brothers is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to anyone, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brothers with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “brothers and sisters”
