UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δέ

and

Here, Now introduces the application of what Paul has been saying about the body in 12:12–26. You could use a word or phrase that would naturally introduce an application or explanation of what Paul has said in these verses. Alternate translation: “In the end,” or “What I mean is that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑμεῖς & ἐστε σῶμα Χριστοῦ, καὶ μέλη ἐκ μέρους

you_all & are /the/_body ˱of˲_Christ and members of part

Here Paul speaks as if believers were members, or body parts, that together make up the body of Christ. By speaking in this way, he applies everything he has said in 12:12–26 about “bodies” to the church, and he emphasizes the unity of the church. Paul used body language throughout this whole paragraph, and it is an important metaphor for 1 Corinthians and for Christian teaching. Because of this, you should preserve this metaphor or, if you must express the idea differently, use an analogy. Alternate translation: “it is as if you are the body of Christ and individually members of it” or “you function as the body of Christ, and individually you function as members of it”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

μέλη ἐκ μέρους

members of part

Here, individually refers to how specific people are members of the body of Christ. In other words, discrete people can each be considered a “member”. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express individually with a word or phrase that identifies people on their own, apart from the communities in which they participate. Alternate translation: “each one of you is a member of it”
