Alternate translation: “a man is discovered while committing any trespass” (2) a person who is overcome by temptation and sins. Alternate translation: “a man is overwhelmed by temptation and commits any trespass”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔν τινι παραπτώματι

in /a/_certain transgression

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trespass, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “trespassing”

the spiritual_‹ones›

Here, the spiritual ones refers to spiritually mature believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the spiritually mature ones”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σεαυτόν

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ καὶ σὺ πειρασθῇς

lest also you /may_be/_tempted

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “lest something also tempts you” or “lest the same thing that tempted that person also tempt you”
