OET (OET-LV) If I with_thankfulness am_partaking, why I_am_being_slandered for what I am_giving_thanks?
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
εἰ
if
Here Paul uses If to introduce a true possibility. He means that someone might partake with gratitude, or someone might not. He specifies the result for if the person does partake with gratitude. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the If statement by introducing it with a word such as “whenever” or “given that.” Alternate translation: [Whenever]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ἐγὼ & βλασφημοῦμαι & ἐγὼ
I & ˱I˲_/am_being/_slandered & I
Here Paul continues speaking in the first person in order to present himself as an example. What he says in 10:33 confirms that this is why he uses the first person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the first person here by clarifying that Paul is using himself as an example. Alternate translation: [I, for example, … am I insulted … I]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
χάριτι
˱with˲_thankfulness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind gratitude, you can express the idea by using an adverb such as “gratefully” or an adjective such as “grateful.” Alternate translation: [gratefully]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί βλασφημοῦμαι ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εὐχαριστῶ?
why ˱I˲_/am_being/_slandered for what I /am/_giving_thanks
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 “you should not be.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong negation. Alternate translation: [I must not be insulted for that which I give thanks.]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
βλασφημοῦμαι
˱I˲_/am_being/_slandered
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 himself, who is insulted, rather than focusing on the person doing the “insulting.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that some other person does it. Alternate translation: [do they insult me] or [does someone insult me]
10:29-30 These two questions are difficult to understand in light of 10:28-29a. By placing 10:28-29a in parentheses, the NLT has interpreted these questions as expressing Paul’s own convictions, following on from 10:27.
