OET interlinear 1COR 15:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὤφθη Ἰακώβῳ, εἶτα τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσιν

˱he˲_/was/_seen ˱by˲_Jacobus thereafter ˱to˲_the ambassadors all

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 the passive form to emphasize the person being seen rather than emphasizing those who do the “seeing.” Alternate translation: [James and then all the apostles saw him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσιν

˱to˲_the ambassadors all

Here, all the apostles does not refer only to the twelve close followers that Jesus called to follow him. Paul does not clarify exactly whom he means when he refers to apostles, but the word probably refers to “the Twelve”, perhaps also James, and others. Since Paul does not specify who exactly the apostles are, you also should use a general term in your translation. Alternate translation: [by all those who are apostles] or [by all whom Jesus specially chose as his representatives]
