Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
ὧδε λοιπὸν
here furthermore
Here Paul uses the phrase In this case to introduce further information about what it means to be stewards. Since he is talking about himself and others who proclaim the gospel as stewards, it is important to understand what it is that stewards are required to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this connection with a word or phrase that introduces more information about a topic. Alternate translation: “Now” or “Speaking of stewards,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ζητεῖται ἐν τοῖς οἰκονόμοις, ἵνα πιστός τις εὑρεθῇ
˱it˲_/is_being/_required among the managers that faithful anyone /may_be/_found
While Paul does not directly apply this sentence to himself and others who proclaim the gospel, it is clear that he intends the reader to apply it to him and these others. Paul then means that he and others who proclaim the gospel are required to do so faithfully by God. If this implication would not be understood by your readers, you could use a word or phrase that makes it clear by identifying Paul as one of the stewards. Alternate translation: “it is required in stewards like us that we be found faithful”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ζητεῖται
˱it˲_/is_being/_required
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 form here to focus on what is required rather than the on person doing the “requiring.” If you must state who does the action, you can use a vague subject or refer to “masters.” Alternate translation: “people require” or “a master requires”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πιστός τις εὑρεθῇ
faithful anyone /may_be/_found
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 form here to focus on the person who is found rather than the person doing the “finding.” If you must state who does the action, you can use a vague subject or refer to “masters.” Alternate translation: “people find one faithful” or “a master finds one faithful”
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
τις
anyone
Here Paul uses one to refer to any of the stewards. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind oneby using a plural pronoun such as “they.” Alternate translation: “they”
