OET interlinear 1COR 12:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἑκάστῳ & δίδοται

˱to˲_each & /is_being/_given

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 this form to focus on the gifts rather than focusing on the one who gives them. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it (See: 12:6). Alternate translation: “to each one God gives”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ Πνεύματος

the manifestation ˱of˲_the Spirit

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind display, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “display” or “manifest.” Alternate translation: “how they display the Spirit” or “how they manifest the power of the Spirit”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ Πνεύματος

the manifestation ˱of˲_the Spirit

Here Paul uses the possessive form to indicate how the Spirit is revealed by the outward display. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind that the outward display is a revelation of the Spiritwith a verbal phrase. Alternate translation: “the ability to outwardly display the Spirit” or “a way to outwardly display the Spirit”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πρὸς τὸ συμφέρον

for the_‹thing› benefitting

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind benefit, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “benefit” or “help.” Alternate translation: “in order to benefit everyone”
