OET interlinear 1 COR 16:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῖς τοιούτοις

¬the ˱to˲_such_‹men›

Here, the ones such as these refers back to the “household of Stephanas” from the previous verse ([16:15](../16/15.md)). It also refers to anyone else who, like that “household,” “devote themselves to the service of the saints.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that the ones such as these refers to “the household of Stephanas” and others like them with a word or phrase that does clearly refer to these two groups. Alternate translation: [to people who are like that] or [to them and those such as them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

συνεργοῦντι

working_together

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind work, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “work.” Alternate translation: [who is working together]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

συνεργοῦντι καὶ κοπιῶντι

working_together (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἵνα καί ὑμεῖς ὑποτάσσησθε τοῖς τοιούτοις καί παντί τῷ συνεργοῦντι καί κοπιῶντι)

Here, joining together in the work and laboring mean very similar things. The phrase joining together in the work emphasizes that people are working together. The word laboring emphasizes that the people are working hard. If your language does not have two words that represent these ideas, or if using two words here would be confusing, you can combine these ideas into one phrase. Alternate translation: [who is joining together in working hard]
