OET interlinear 1COR 5:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

συναχθέντων ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος

/having_been/_gathered_together you_all and ¬which ˱of˲_mine ˱in˲_spirit

The phrase You and my spirit, having been assembled gives the time and situation in which the Corinthians should “hand this man over to Satan” (5:5). If this phrase would not indicate timing or a situation in your language, you could use a word or phrase that does indicate time or situation. Alternate translation: “One of the times when you and my spirit have been assembled”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συναχθέντων

/having_been/_gathered_together

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 the things that are assembled rather than what does the “assembling.” you can express the idea in active form by using a verb such as “gather together” or “meet.” Alternate translation: “meeting together”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

in the name ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ συναχθέντων ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος σὺν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ)

Acting in the name of a person means representing that person. Representatives, those who do anything in the name of someone else, act with the authority of the people they represent. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express in the name of with a comparable idiom for representing someone or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “as representatives of our Lord Jesus Christ” or “as people who act for our Lord Jesus Christ”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, συναχθέντων ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος,

in the name ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ συναχθέντων ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος σὺν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ)

The phrase in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ could modify: (1) how they have been assembled. Alternate translation: “You and my spirit, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ having been assembled” (2) how Paul has “passed judgment” in 5:3. Alternate translation: “I passed this judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. You and my spirit, having been assembled,”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος

and ¬which ˱of˲_mine ˱in˲_spirit

Just as in 5:3, Paul speaks of his “spirit.” Just as there, Paul’s spirit being assembled with them is a figurative way to speak of how Paul thinks about and cares about them. Here, it has the additional implication that what they do when assembled carries Paul’s own authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind my spiritwith a comparable metaphor or plainly. Alternate translation: “and my thoughts” or “with my authority”

τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος

˱of˲_the ¬which ˱of˲_mine ˱in˲_spirit

Here, my spirit could refer to: (1) Paul’s spirit, which would be the part of him that connects with the Corinthians across a distance. Alternate translation: “my own spirit” (2) the Holy Spirit, which connects Paul with the Corinthians, even though they are not physically together. Alternate translation: “my share of God’s Spirit” or “I, by the power of God’s Spirit”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

σὺν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ

with the power ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind power, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “empower” or “authorize.” Alternate translation: “as people who are empowered by our Lord Jesus” or “as people whom our Lord Jesus has empowered”
