OET interlinear 1 COR 16:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

περὶ δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς λογίας τῆς εἰς τούς ἁγίους ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας οὕτως καί ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε)

Just as in [7:1](../07/01.md), [25](../07/25.md), Now concerning introduces a new topic that Paul wishes to address. Likely, the topics that he introduces in this way are what the Corinthians wrote to him about. Translate Now concerning here as you did in [7:1](../07/01.md), [25](../07/25.md). Alternate translation: [Next, about]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τῆς λογείας

the which_‹is› ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς λογίας τῆς εἰς τούς ἁγίους ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας οὕτως καί ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε)

Here, the collection refers to money that is “collected” from people for a specific purpose. Here Paul clarifies that it is “collected” for the saints. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express collection with a word or phrase that refers to money that is “collected” for a purpose. Alternate translation: [the offering] or [the money]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους

for (Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς λογίας τῆς εἰς τούς ἁγίους ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας οὕτως καί ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε)

Here Paul does not clarify which saints he is speaking about. However, in [16:3](../16/03.md), he states that this collection will be taken to “Jerusalem.” Therefore, the saints are Jewish people who believe in Jesus. The Corinthians would have known to which saints Paul is referring, but If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind who the saints are explicitly here instead of waiting until [16:3](../16/03.md). Alternate translation: [for the Jewish saints] or [for the saints in Jerusalem]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε

as ˱I˲_directed ˱to˲_the assemblies ¬the ˱of˲_Galatia thus (Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς λογίας τῆς εἰς τούς ἁγίους ὥσπερ διέταξα ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Γαλατίας οὕτως καί ὑμεῖς ποιήσατε)

If your language would normally state the command (you must do) before the comparison (even as), you could reverse the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: [also you must do even as I directed the churches of Galatia]
