OET interlinear 1COR 12:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διαιρέσεις ἐνεργημάτων

divisions ˱of˲_actions

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind varieties, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “various” or “different.” Alternate translation: “various workings” or “different workings”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

ἐνεργημάτων

˱of˲_actions

Here, workings refers to “activities” or “actions,” that is, doing things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express workings with a word or phrase that refers generally to “doing things.” Alternate translation: “of activities” or “of ways to do things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ αὐτὸς Θεός

the same God

Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul implies that it is the same God who empowers the varieties of workings. If your readers would not infer that information, and if your language requires these words to make a complete thought, you could supply them. Alternate translation: “it is the same God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν

the_‹things› all in all

Here, all things in everyone could refer: (1) specifically to all gifts, ministries, and workings that God is working in everyone who believes. Alternate translation: “each of these things in each person” (2) generally to how God is working all things in “everything and everyone.” Alternate translation: “everything in everyone” or “all things in every situation”
