OET (OET-RV) Isn’t he saying that on our behalf? Yes, it was written for our sake saying that anyone who’s ploughing a field should expect to be paid, and anyone who threshes the grain should expect a share of the harvest.

OET-LVOr because_of us certainly he_is_speaking?
Because_of for us it_was_written that ought in hope the one plowing to_be_plowing, and the one threshing in hope which to_be_partaking.

SR-GNT διʼ ἡμᾶς πάντως λέγει; Διʼ ἡμᾶς γὰρ ἐγράφη ὅτι ὀφείλει ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι ἀροτριῶν ἀροτριᾶν, καὶ ἀλοῶν ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τοῦ μετέχειν.

ULT Or is he speaking entirely for our sake? For it was written for our sake that the one plowing ought to plow in hope, and the one threshing, in hope of sharing the harvest.

UST Rather, God speaks mostly about us in this law. God had Moses write this command for us because any person who plows a field should expect to receive some of the crop. Any person who separates the grain from the wheat stalks should also expect to receive some of the crop.


BSB Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.

BLB Or is He speaking because of us entirely? For it was written for us, because in hope the one plowing ought to plow, and the one threshing, in hope to partake.

AICNT Or is he saying this certainly for us? For it was written for us that the one who plows should plow in hope, and the one threshing in hope should partake [[in hope]].

NET Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.

LSV Or by all means does He say [it] because of us? Yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading [ought] of his hope to partake in hope.

FBV Wasn't he directing this at us? Surely this was written for us—for anyone who plows should plow in hope and anyone who threshes should hope to share in the harvest.

TCNT Or does he speak entirely for our sake? Yes, this was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope ought to partake of his hope.

T4TNo, he was [RHQ] concerned about us, also! Yes, God caused Moses to write those words because he is concerned about us! Those who plow the ground confidently expect to eat some of the crop that grows. Those who thresh grain confidently expect to eat some of the grain that they thresh. Similarly, we who proclaim the message about Christ have the right to confidently expect to receive financial help for our work.

LEB Or doubtless does he speak for our sake? For it is writtenfor our sake, because the one who plows ought to plow in hope and the one who threshesought to do so in hope of a share.

BBE Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:1-27 Continuing the argument begun in 8:1 (see study note on 8:1–11:1), Paul cites personal examples of his giving up his own rights for the sake of other people.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

or

The word Or introduces an alternate to what Paul says at the end of the previous verse (9:9). In that verse, he asked whether God cares about the oxen in this law. Since that is not the issue here, the or introduces what Paul thinks is actually true: the law is entirely for our sake. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Or with a word that signifies a contrast or gives an alternative. Alternate translation: “On the other hand,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἢ δι’ ἡμᾶς πάντως λέγει?

or because_of us certainly ˱he˲_/is/_speaking

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “yes, he is.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong statement. Alternate translation: “Actually, he is speaking entirely for our sake.”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

λέγει

˱he˲_/is/_speaking

Here, he refers back to “God” in 9:9. Paul assumes that God is the one who is speaking in the passage he quoted in the last verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express he by clarifying that it refers to God speaking the “law of Moses.” Alternate translation: “is God speaking”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

(Occurrence -1) δι’ ἡμᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἢ διʼ ἡμᾶς πάντως λέγει διʼ ἡμᾶς γὰρ ἐγράφη ὅτι ὀφείλει ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι ὁ ἀροτριῶν ἀροτριᾶν καὶ ὁ ἀλοῶν ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τοῦ μετέχειν)

Here, our could refer to: (1) everyone who believes, including the Corinthians. Alternate translation: “for the sake of us who believe … for the sake of us who believe” (2) Paul, Barnabas, and others who proclaim the good news. Alternate translation: “for the sake of us who proclaim the gospel … for the sake of us who proclaim the gospel”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγράφη

˱it˲_/was/_written

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 written rather than focusing on the person doing the “writing.” If you must state who does the action, you can express it so that: (1) the scripture author writes or speaks the words. Alternate translation: “Moses wrote it” (2) God speaks the words. Alternate translation: “God said it”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

that

Here, that could introduce: (1) the reason why it was written. Alternate translation: “because” (2) a summary of the content of what was written. If you use the following alternate translation, you may need to add a comma before it. Alternate translation: “and it means that”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ ἀροτριῶν & ὁ ἀλοῶν

the_‹one› plowing & the_‹one› threshing

Paul is speaking of these people in general, not of one particular person plowing or threshing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a form that refers to people in general. Alternate translation: “anyone who plows … anyone who threshes”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι & ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι τοῦ μετέχειν

in hope & in hope ¬which /to_be/_partaking

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind hope, you can express the idea by using an adverb such as “hopefully” or a verb such as “expect.” Alternate translation: “hopefully … hopefully expecting to share the harvest”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι

in hope

Here Paul does not mention what the hope expects because he states it at the end of the verse: sharing the harvest. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explicitly state that sharing the harvest is what the hope expects. Alternate translation: “in hope of sharing the harvest”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ ἀλοῶν ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι

the_‹one› the_‹one› threshing in hope

Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul omits these words because he stated them explicitly in the previous clause (ought to plow). If your language does need these words, you could supply them from that clause. Alternate translation: “the one who threshes ought to thresh in hope”
