SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–11:1: Avoid idolatry completely

Paul addressed believers who thought it was acceptable to eat meals in an idol’s temple. First he warned them (10:1–13). He used examples from the Old Testament to show them their danger. Then he commanded them (10:14–22). He said that no one can take part in both the Lord’s Supper and idol feasts. He said that believers are free to eat meat sold in the market place unless this will hurt someone else’s conscience (10:23–30). In summary, he said that believers should control their behavior in two ways. They should praise God in everything they do, and they should not allow their actions to harm another person (10:31–11:1).

Here are some other possible section headings:

Don’t worship idols

Do everything for the glory of God

Paragraph 10:14–22

Paul forbade believers from having anything to do with idolatry. Demons control idol worship, and anyone who shares in the Lord’s Supper cannot also take part in a feast that honors demons. That will cause the Lord to be angry, and no one should risk testing him in that way.

10:22a-b

Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?: This paragraph began with the command “Flee from idolatry.” It ends with this warning that God will punish the Corinthians if they ignore his command. This is Paul’s final response to their question about taking part in feasts at an idol’s temple (see 1 Corinthians 8:4).

10:22a

Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy?

Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy?: This is a rhetorical question. Paul used it as a warning that it is foolish to make the Lord jealous. 10:22b gives the reason why this is so. This implies that eating a sacrificial meal honoring demons will make the Lord jealous.

Here are two ways to translate this warning:

Translate this warning in the way that is most natural in your language.

10:22b

Are we stronger than He?

Are we stronger than He?: This is a rhetorical question. It functions as a warning that we are not stronger than the Lord. We cannot expect to win if he is angry with us. That is why we must not make him jealous.

Here are two ways to translate this warning:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἢ παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν Κύριον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ παραζηλοῦμεν τόν Κύριον Μή ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμέν)

The word Or introduces an alternate to what Paul speaks about in [10:21](../10/21.md). If they do indeed participate in meals connected to the Lord and also meals connected to demons, they will provoke the Lord to jealousy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Or with a word or phrase that signifies a contrast or gives an alternative. Alternate translation: [If we do both of these things, do we not provoke the Lord to jealousy]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἢ παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν Κύριον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ παραζηλοῦμεν τόν Κύριον Μή ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμέν)

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 “no, we should not.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong command. Alternate translation: [Do not provoke the Lord to jealousy.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν Κύριον

˱we˲_˓are˒_making_jealous (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ παραζηλοῦμεν τόν Κύριον Μή ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμέν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind jealousy, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “jealous.” Alternate translation: [do we provoke the Lord to be jealous]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ παραζηλοῦμεν τόν Κύριον Μή ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμέν)

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 “no, we are not.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong negation. Alternate translation: [We are certainly not stronger than him.]
