OET interlinear 1 COR 16:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνέπαυσαν & τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν

˱they˲_refreshed & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀνέπαυσαν Γάρ τό ἐμόν πνεῦμα καί τό ὑμῶν ἐπιγινώσκετε Οὖν τούς τοιούτους)

Here, refreshed my spirit and yours refers to how these three men helped Paul and the Corinthians regain energy, strength, and confidence. In other words, they helped Paul and the Corinthians feel better and stronger. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idiom with a comparable idiom or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [they raised my spirits and yours] or [they helped me and you rest]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀνέπαυσαν Γάρ τό ἐμόν πνεῦμα καί τό ὑμῶν ἐπιγινώσκετε Οὖν τούς τοιούτους)

Here, spirit is part of the idiom “refresh the spirit.”Paul assumes that his readers will understand that it refers to the spirit of the person, or their inner life, not to the Holy Spirit. If it would help your readers, you could refer just to the people instead of to their “spirits.” Alternate translation: [me and you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τὸ ὑμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀνέπαυσαν Γάρ τό ἐμόν πνεῦμα καί τό ὑμῶν ἐπιγινώσκετε Οὖν τούς τοιούτους)

Here Paul omits what it is that is yours. He does this because he stated it in the previous phrase (spirit). If your language would not omit spirit here, you could include it. Alternate translation: [your spirits]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τοὺς τοιούτους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀνέπαυσαν Γάρ τό ἐμόν πνεῦμα καί τό ὑμῶν ἐπιγινώσκετε Οὖν τούς τοιούτους)

Here, the ones like these refers back to the three men whom Paul mentioned in the previous verse ([16:17](../16/17.md)). It also refers to anyone else who, like those men, “refreshes the spirit” of others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that the ones like these refers to the three men and others like them with a word or phrase that does clearly refer to these two groups. Alternate translation: [people who are like that] or [them and those such as them]
