UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπόλλυται & ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἐν τῇ σῇ γνώσει, ὁ ἀδελφὸς, δι’ ὃν Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν

/is_being/_destroyed & the_‹one› faltering in the your knowledge the brother for whom Christ died_off

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 destroyed rather than focusing on what or who does the “destroying.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “you” or “your knowledge” does it. Alternate translation: “you, through your knowledge, destroy the one who is weak, the brother for whom Christ died,” or “your knowledge destroys the one who is weak, the brother for whom Christ died

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ ἀσθενῶν & ὁ ἀδελφὸς

the_‹one› faltering & the brother

Jesus is speaking of those who are weak and brothers in general, not of one particular person who is a brother and the one being weak. If your language does not use the singular form to refer to people in general, you can express the idea in a form that is more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “each one who is weak, who is a brother”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἀσθενῶν

the_‹one› faltering

Much like in 8:9, the one being weak identifies a person who easily feels guilty. A weak person thinks some things are wrong that are probably acceptable before God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express being weak with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “the one who is sensitive” or “the one who often condemns himself or herself”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ὁ ἀδελφὸς

the_‹one› the brother

Although brother is masculine, Paul is using this word to refer to any believer, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brother with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “the brother or sister”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σῇ

your

Here Paul addresses specific individuals within the Corinthian church. Because of this, your in this verse is singular.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γνώσει

knowledge

Here Paul does not specify what the knowledge is about. However, just as in 8:10, it is clear that Paul is speaking of knowledge about other gods, specifically knowing that there is only one God and that other gods do not really exist. If you must specify what the knowledge is about, you could clarify that it is about the idols or the topic of things sacrificed to idols. Alternate translation: “knowledge about idols” or “knowledge about this issue”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ σῇ γνώσει

in the your knowledge

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind knowledge, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “know.” Alternate translation: “through what you know”
