OET interlinear 1COR 6:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πλεονέκται

coveters

Paul is using the adjective greedy as a noun in order to describe a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are greedy” or “greedy people”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

λοίδοροι

insulters

Here, slanderers is the same word that is translated “verbally abusive” in 5:11. It describes someone who shows anger by using vicious words to attack others. Use a word in your language that describes this kind of person. Alternate translation: “vocally vicious people”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

ἅρπαγες

swindlers

Here, swindlers is the same word that is translated “swindler” in 5:11. It identifies a person who takes money from others dishonestly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express swindlers with a word that refers to such people. Alternate translation: “embezzlers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κληρονομήσουσιν

/will_be/_inheriting

Here Paul speaks of the kingdom of God as if it were property that a parent could pass on to their child when the parent dies. Here, Paul uses the word inherit to refer to being able to live in the kingdom of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “will live in”
