UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οὕτως

thus

Here, thus refers back to the series of actions and results in 8:10–11. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express what thus refers to by clarifying that it refers to the previous two verses. Alternate translation: “through your knowledge”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

οὕτως & ἁμαρτάνοντες εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς, καὶ τύπτοντες αὐτῶν τὴν συνείδησιν ἀσθενοῦσαν, εἰς Χριστὸν ἁμαρτάνετε

thus & sinning against the brothers and wounding ˱of˲_them the conscience faltering against Christ ˱you_all˲_/are/_sinning

Here Paul means that whenever the Corinthians “sin against” and “wound” their brothers, they at the same time sin against Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the relationship between sinning against your brothers and wounding their weak consciences and sin against Christ by clarifying that they happen at the same time. Alternate translation: “any time you thus sin against your brothers and wound their weak consciences, you at the same time sin against Christ”

καὶ τύπτοντες

and wounding

Alternate translation: “by wounding” or “because you wound”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς

the brothers

Although brothers is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to anyone, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brothers with a non=gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “your brothers and sisters”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τύπτοντες αὐτῶν τὴν συνείδησιν ἀσθενοῦσαν

wounding ˱of˲_them the conscience faltering

Here Paul speaks as if consciences were body parts that could be wounded. By speaking in this way, he emphasizes that the Corinthians who have knowledge are hurting the weak consciences of other believers as surely as if they had wounded their arms or bodies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express wounding their weak consciences by clarifying that Paul means that the Corinthians who have knowledge are hurting weak consciences or making the weak consciences feel guilty. Alternate translation: “hurting their weak consciences” or “making their weak consciences feel guilty”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν συνείδησιν ἀσθενοῦσαν

the conscience faltering

Here, weak identifies consciences that easily lead people to feel guilty. These weak consciences condemn some things that are probably acceptable before God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express weak with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “sensitive consciences” or “consciences, which often condemn them”
