OET interlinear 1COR 1:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, so that introduces a purpose or result. In this case, it introduces what results from Paul not baptizing many of the Corinthians. Because he did not baptize almost any of them, they cannot say that they were baptized into his name. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this connection with a word that indicates result, and you could specify that it is the result of Paul not baptizing many of them. Alternate translation, as a new sentence: “The result is that” or “Therefore,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα ἐβαπτίσθητε

into ¬the my name ˱you_all˲_/were/_baptized

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 here to focus on those who are baptized rather than whoever does the “baptizing.” If you must state who does the action, you can use a vague or indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [someone baptized you into my name]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα

into ¬the my name

Here, just as in 1:13, Paul uses the word name to refer to authority. What he means is that, when they were baptized, no one used Paul’s name, and therefore they do not belong to his group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the meaning of this word by using the word “authority” or by a phrase that includes the language of “belonging.” Alternate translation: [under my authority]
