OET interlinear 1 COR 15:30

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

τί καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τί καί ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πασᾶν ὥραν)

Here, Why also introduces another response to the condition “If the dead are not raised at all” in [15:29](../15/29.md). Use a word or phrase that clearly connects this question back to that condition. Alternate translation: [Again, if that is true, why]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί καὶ ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πᾶσαν ὥραν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τί καί ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πασᾶν ὥραν)

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The implied answer to the question is “There is no reason why.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question by using a strong affirmation. Alternate translation: [We also are in danger every hour for nothing.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς

we

Here, we refers to Paul and other apostles who preach the gospel. It does not include the Corinthians.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πᾶσαν ὥραν

we ˓are˒_risking_danger (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τί καί ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πασᾶν ὥραν)

Here Paul says that we are in danger because of the work that he and others do to proclaim the gospel. If your readers would not infer that this is why Paul and others are in danger, you could express the idea explicitly. Alternate translation: [are we in danger every hour on account of the gospel] or [are we in danger every hour because we proclaim the good news]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν

we ˓are˒_risking_danger

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind danger, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “endanger” or an adverb such as “dangerously.” Alternate translation: [do we live dangerously]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πᾶσαν ὥραν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τί καί ἡμεῖς κινδυνεύομεν πασᾶν ὥραν)

Here, every hour identifies an action as frequent or consistent. It does not mean that Paul and others experienced danger once every hour. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express every hour with a comparable idiom or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [all the time] or [very often]
