OET interlinear 1 COR 4:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

ἤδη κεκορεσμένοι ἐστέ, ἤδη ἐπλουτήσατε, χωρὶς ἡμῶν ἐβασιλεύσατε

already (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤδη κεκορεσμένοι ἐστέ ἤδη ἐπλουτήσατε χωρίς ἡμῶν ἐβασιλεύσατε καί ὄφελον γέ ἐβασιλεύσατε ἵνα καί ἡμεῖς ὑμῖν συμβασιλεύσωμεν)

With these statements, Paul is stating what he thinks the Corinthians would say about themselves. He does not mean that he believes that these things are true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include some words that clarify that Paul is speaking from the Corinthians’s perspective, such as “it is as if” or “you say.” Alternate translation: [Already it is as if you are satisfied! Already it is as if you have become rich! It is as if you began to reign apart from us] or [Already you say that you are satisfied! Already you say that you have become rich! You say that you have begun to reign apart from us]

κεκορεσμένοι ἐστέ

˓having_been˒_satiated ˱you_all˲_are

Here Paul speaks as if the Corinthians have had more than enough food to eat and beverages to drink. By this, he means that (they think that) they have so many spiritual blessings that there are no more that they can receive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of satisfied with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [you are stuffed with blessings] or [you have every spiritual gift]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐπλουτήσατε

˱you_all˲_became_rich

Here Paul speaks as if the Corinthians have become wealthy people. He speaks in this way to again emphasize that (they think that) they have more spiritual blessings than they need. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the meaning of become richwith a comparable metaphor or plainly. Alternate translation: [you have become fat] or [you have an excess of spiritual gifts]
