UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παρέδωκα & ὑμῖν ἐν πρώτοις

˱I˲_gave_over & ˱to˲_you_all in /the/_first_‹place›

Here Paul speaks as if the gospel that he preached to the Corinthians were a physical object that he delivered to them. By speaking in this way, he emphasizes that he truly taught the Corinthians the gospel, and they now know it as well as if they held it in their hands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “I instructed you among the first in” or “I handed over to you among the first”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν πρώτοις

in /the/_first_‹place›

Here, among the first could mean that: (1) what Paul is about to say is one of the first things he told them when he visited Corinth. Alternate translation: “as one of the first things I said” (2) what Paul is about to say is one of the most important things he told them when he visited Corinth. Alternate translation: “as one of the most important things I said”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον

what also ˱I˲_received

Here Paul does not clarify from whom he received this information. In 11:23, which uses very similar words, Paul says that he “received” things “from the Lord.” Here, then, it is likely that he also received what he is about to say “from the Lord.” However, he may also mean that he received this specific way of expressing the good news from another human being. Since Paul avoids stating from whom he received what he is about to say, you should also try to avoid stating it. If you must state whom he received it from, you could refer to “the Lord” or generally to people. Alternate translation: “what I also received from the Lord” or “what I also received from others”

ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν

for the sins ˱of˲_us

Alternate translation: “in order to deal with our sins”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς

according_to the Scriptures

In Paul’s culture, according to was a normal way to introduce a reference to an important text. In this case, Paul does not state exactly which part of the Scriptures he has in mind but rather refers to the Scriptures as a whole. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express how Paul introduces the quotation with a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is referring to an important text. Alternate translation: “as the Scriptures say” or “as can be read in the Scriptures”
