7:1-40 Paul consistently states his strong conviction that true Christians, as slaves of Christ, are wholly claimed by Christ the Lord for his own service. Because of this, he recommends that Christians remain single, but concedes that getting married is no sin.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οἱ χρώμενοι τὸν κόσμον, ὡς μὴ καταχρώμενοι
the_‹ones› using the world as not excessively_using_‹it›
Here Paul omits some words that may be needed in your language to complete the thought. Paul omits these words because he stated them in 7:29, and the Corinthians would have understood them from that verse. If your language does need these words, you could supply “should be as those” from 7:29. Alternate translation: “those using the world should be as not using it”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
οἱ χρώμενοι τὸν κόσμον, ὡς μὴ καταχρώμενοι
the_‹ones› using the world as not excessively_using_‹it›
Here, using refers to taking something and doing work with it. Paul here refers to taking things that belong to the world and doing work with them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express using with a word or phrase that refers to performing a task with something that one possesses. Alternate translation: “those doing things with the world, as not doing things with it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
τὸν κόσμον
the world
Here, the world specifically focuses on people and things that belong to the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the world by clarifying that Paul is focusing on things that belong to the world. Alternate translation: “something worldly”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τὸ σχῆμα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου
the form ¬the ˱of˲_world this
Here, present form of this world refers to how this world is currently structured and how things work in this world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express present form with a word or phrase that refers to how the world is right now. Alternate translation: “the current setup of this world” or “the way the world presently works”
παράγει
/is/_passing_away
Alternate translation: “will soon end”
