OET interlinear 1COR 13:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ, συνχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ;

not ˓is˒_rejoicing at ¬the unrighteousness (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ συγχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ)

Here, just like in [13:4–5](../13/04.md), Paul speaks as if “love” were a person. Continue to follow the translation strategies you chose in those verses. Alternate translation: [If you love others, you do not rejoice in unrighteousness, but you rejoice in the truth]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ, συνχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ;

not ˓is˒_rejoicing at ¬the unrighteousness (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ συγχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ)

Here Paul uses two negative words, not and unrighteousness, to indicate a positive meaning. If your language does not use two negative words like this, you can instead use one positive word. If you do so, you will have to make the second half a connection instead of a contrast. Alternate translation: [It rejoices in righteousness and in the truth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ

at ¬the unrighteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind unrighteousness, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “unrighteous” or an adverb such as “unrighteously.” Alternate translation: [unrighteous acts] or [in what people do unrighteously]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ ἀληθείᾳ

¬the ˱with˲_the truth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind truth, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “true.” Alternate translation: [in true things] or [things that are true]
