OET interlinear 1COR 15:57

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τῷ & Θεῷ χάρις

¬the & ˱to˲_God thankfulness_‹be›

Here, thanks be to God is a way to indicate that one is praising God for something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this phrase with a normal way in your language to thank or praise someone for what that person has done. Alternate translation: “we thank God” or “we give glory to God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῷ διδόντι ἡμῖν τὸ νῖκος

¬the ˱to˲_the_‹one› giving us the victory

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind victory, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “defeat” or “conquer.” Alternate translation: “who empowers us to defeat them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ νῖκος

the victory

Here Paul does not express whom the victory is over. However, the Corinthians would have inferred from the previous verse that Paul meant both “sin” and “death.” If your readers would not make this inference, you could express the idea explicitly. Alternate translation: “the victory over sin and death”
