TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:7 teacher: The gift of teaching comes third in the list of gifts in 1 Cor 12:28 and fifth in Eph 4:11. While prophets communicate to the community a message received directly from God, teachers address the church on the basis of studying the word of God.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εἴτε διακονίαν, ἐν τῇ διακονίᾳ; εἴτε ὁ διδάσκων, ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ

or service in the service or the_‹one› teaching in the teaching

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “if God has given someone the gift of service, then that person must use that gift for serving; if God has given someone the gift to be the one teaching, then that person must use that gift for teaching”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διακονίαν & τῇ διακονίᾳ & τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ

service & the service & the teaching

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of service and teaching, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “serving others … serving others … teaching others”
