Connecting Statement:

Here, just like in 13:4, Paul speaks as if “love” were a person. Continue to follow the translation strategies you chose in that verse. Alternate translation: “If you love others, you are not rude; you are not seeking your own; you are not easily angered; you do not keep a count of wrongs”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ

not /is/_dishonoring

Here, rude refers to behavior that is shameful or disgraceful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express rude with a word that refers to shameful or disgraceful behavior. Alternate translation: “It does not do disgraceful things” or “it is not inappropriate”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ ἑαυτῆς

not /is/_seeking the_‹things› ˱of˲_itself

Here, its own refers to what is good for oneself. In other words, seeking its own would mean that “love” is trying to do what is best for itself, not for others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express it does not seek its own with a comparable idiom or express the idea with a word such as “selfish.” Alternate translation: “it is not selfish”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐ παροξύνεται

not not /is_being/_provoked

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive here to focus on the person who is angered rather than focusing on the one provoking them. If you must state who did the action, you can use a vague or generic subject. Alternate translation: “others do not anger them easily”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ λογίζεται τὸ κακόν

not not not /is/_reckoning ¬the evil

Here Paul speaks as if someone could keep a count, as if they were writing them down and adding them up, of each and every bad thing that others have done. He speaks in this way to describe how people remember wrongs and do not forgive them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express keep a count of wrongs with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “it does not hold onto wrongs” or “it is not resentful”
