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 10:6–10

Paul gave examples from the Hebrew Scriptures to warn the believers. He emphasized that it is dangerous to honor false gods and to commit sexual immorality.

10:8a

We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did,

We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did: In Numbers 25:1–9 some women from the country of Moab came to the camp of the Hebrews. They asked Hebrew men to eat animal sacrifices and have sexual intercourse with them in order to honor their god Baal Peor. In a similar way, the men of Corinth used to have sexual intercourse with temple prostitutes in honor of the goddess called Aphrodite or Venus. Paul told them they should not do this.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

We(incl) must not do sexual sin as some of them did

Some of them committed sexual sins, but we must not do that

We should not: Paul addressed this command to everyone, including himself. Consider how it is most natural to translate such first-person plural commands. For example:

We(incl) must not commit sexual immorality

Do not let us(incl) commit sexual immorality

commit sexual immorality: The phrase commit sexual immorality refers to all kinds of sinful sexual behavior. See the note at 5:1b.

10:8b

and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died: The Greek word that the BSB translates as died is literally “fell.” These people did not die naturally. God caused them to die from a sickness.In Numbers 25:9 the number given is twenty-four thousand. The reason for the difference is not certain. You should translate the numbers as they are written and not try to make them agree.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

in one day twenty-three thousand of them died from a sickness, which was God’s punishment on them

in one day twenty-three thousand of them died because of their sin

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πορνεύωμεν & ἐπόρνευσαν

˱we˲_˓may_be˒_committing_sexual_immorality & committed_sexual_immorality

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind immorality, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “immoral.” Alternate translation: [should we commit what is sexually immoral … committed what is sexually immoral] or [should behave in sexually immoral ways … behaved in sexually immoral ways]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τινες αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ ἔπεσαν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδέ πορνεύωμεν καθώς τινές αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν καί ἔπεσαν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες)

Here Paul refers to a story found in [Numbers 25:1–9](../num/25/01.md). In this story, many Israelites began to worship a god named “Baal of Peor.” While worshiping this god, they also committed sexual immorality. God judged the Israelites by killing 23,000 of them. If your readers are not familiar with this story, you could add a footnote that refers to or summarizes the story.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδέ πορνεύωμεν καθώς τινές αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν καί ἔπεσαν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες)

Here, and introduces the result of the Israelites committing sexual immorality. If your language does not use and to introduce a result, you can use a word or phrase that is more natural. Alternate translation: [and as a result,] or [with the result that]

Note 4 topic: translate-numbers

εἴκοσι τρεῖς χιλιάδες

twenty three thousands

Here, 23,000 does not match the number that the Old Testament story includes, which is 24,000. Most likely, Paul is using a round number here. Consider using ways in your language to express a number, particularly a round number. Alternate translation: [about twenty-three thousand people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἔπεσαν

fell

Paul is referring to the deaths of many Israelites as “falling.” This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express fell with a different polite way of referring to deaths or you could state the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [they passed away] or [fell down dead]

Note 6 topic: translate-numbers

μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ

˱in˲_one day

Here, one day refers to one period of time in which the sun is visible in the sky. Use a word or phrase in your language that refers to this time period. Alternate translation: [in a single day] or [during one daytime]
