OET interlinear 1 COR 6:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

τὰ βρώματα τῇ κοιλίᾳ, καὶ ἡ κοιλία τοῖς βρώμασιν; & δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τά βρώματα τῇ κοιλίᾳ καί ἡ κοιλία τοῖς βρώμασιν ὁ δέ Θεός καί ταύτην καί ταῦτα καταργήσει τό Δέ σῶμα οὒ τῇ πορνείᾳ ἀλλά τῷ Κυρίῳ καί ὁ Κύριος τῷ σώματι)

In this verse, Paul quotes what some people in the Corinthian church are saying, just like he did in [6:12](../06/12.md). The ULT, by using quotation marks, indicates that this claim is a quotation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food and think that Paul is claiming this by clarifying that some of the Corinthians are saying this, and Paul is saying the words that occur after but. Alternate translation: [You say, ‘Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food,’ but I respond that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τὰ βρώματα τῇ κοιλίᾳ, καὶ ἡ κοιλία τοῖς βρώμασιν & τὸ & σῶμα οὐ τῇ πορνείᾳ, ἀλλὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ὁ Κύριος τῷ σώματι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τά βρώματα τῇ κοιλίᾳ καί ἡ κοιλία τοῖς βρώμασιν ὁ δέ Θεός καί ταύτην καί ταῦτα καταργήσει τό Δέ σῶμα οὒ τῇ πορνείᾳ ἀλλά τῷ Κυρίῳ καί ὁ Κύριος τῷ σώματι)

In these two sentences, Paul omits is multiple times. If your language does not need to state is to express the idea, you can omit is throughout these two sentences. If your language does need to state is to express the idea, you could: (1) include is the first time it is needed in each sentence. See the ULT. (2) include is every time it is needed. Alternate translation: [Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food … the body is not for sexual immorality, but is for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

καταργήσει

˓will_be˒_nullifying

Here, will do away with refers to making something ineffective, useless, or irrelevant. What Paul means is that God will make food and the stomach unimportant and without function. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express will do away with with a word or phrase that indicates that a God has acted so that food and the stomach are no longer important, useful, or effective. Alternate translation: [will render ineffective]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

καὶ ταύτην καὶ ταῦτα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τά βρώματα τῇ κοιλίᾳ καί ἡ κοιλία τοῖς βρώμασιν ὁ δέ Θεός καί ταύτην καί ταῦτα καταργήσει τό Δέ σῶμα οὒ τῇ πορνείᾳ ἀλλά τῷ Κυρίῳ καί ὁ Κύριος τῷ σώματι)

Here, this refers to stomach, and those refers to food, since food is plural here. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express what this and those refer to with the names stomach and food instead. Alternate translation: [both stomach and food]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τά βρώματα τῇ κοιλίᾳ καί ἡ κοιλία τοῖς βρώμασιν ὁ δέ Θεός καί ταύτην καί ταῦτα καταργήσει τό Δέ σῶμα οὒ τῇ πορνείᾳ ἀλλά τῷ Κυρίῳ καί ὁ Κύριος τῷ σώματι)

Here, Now introduces a development based on what Paul has said about food and the stomach. While food is indeed for the stomach, the body is not for sexual immorality. Paul agrees with the Corinthians about food and the stomach, but he disagrees that sexual immorality and the body should be understood in the same way. Instead, the body exists for the Lord. Paul further explains in the next verse ([6:14](../06/14.md)) that, unlike food and the stomach, God will not do away with the body, since we will be resurrected. If Now would not introduce a difference between the stomach and the body, you could use a word or phrase that does introduce such a contrast. Alternate translation: [On the other hand,]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ πορνείᾳ

˱for˲_the ¬the ˱for˲_sexual_immorality

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind immorality, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “immoral.” Alternate translation: [for what is sexually immoral] or [sexually immoral behavior]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ Κυρίῳ

˱for˲_the Lord

Here Paul means that the body is meant to serve and please the Lord. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate for the Lord with a verbal phrase that indicates that the body should serve the Lord. Alternate translation: [for pleasing the Lord]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ὁ Κύριος τῷ σώματι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τά βρώματα τῇ κοιλίᾳ καί ἡ κοιλία τοῖς βρώμασιν ὁ δέ Θεός καί ταύτην καί ταῦτα καταργήσει τό Δέ σῶμα οὒ τῇ πορνείᾳ ἀλλά τῷ Κυρίῳ καί ὁ Κύριος τῷ σώματι)

Here, the Lord for the body could express the idea that: (1) the Lord works for the human body and not just the human “soul” or nonphysical part. If you use either of the following alternate translations, you may need to include a comma before it. Alternate translation: [and the Lord works for the body] (2) the Lord is human now and in a body, which would explain why Paul speaks about the resurrection of the Lord in the next verse. Alternate translation: [and the Lord has a human body]
