OET interlinear 1COR 11:30

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ἄρρωστοι

weak and sick

Here, weak refers in general to lack of physical strength without specifying a cause. On the other hand, sick refers specifically to lack of strength caused by sickness or illness. If your language has words that fit with these distinctions, you could use them here. If your language does not have words that fit with these distinctions, you can use one general word for weakness or illness. Alternate translation: “are weak” or “are sick”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

κοιμῶνται

/are_being/_fallen_asleep

Paul is referring to the deaths of many of you as having fallen asleep. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express fallen asleep with a different polite way of referring to deaths, or you could state the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “have passed away” or “are dead”
