OET interlinear 1COR 6:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἀδελφὸς μετὰ ἀδελφοῦ κρίνεται, καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ ἀπίστων?

brother with brother /is_being/_judged and this before unbelievers

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that there will be no verbal answer. Rather, the question is supposed to make the Corinthians feel ashamed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a statement that expresses shock or condemnation. Alternate translation: “brother really goes to court against brother, and this before unbelievers!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφὸς & ἀδελφοῦ

brother & brother

Although the words translated brother are masculine, Paul is using these words to refer to any believer, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brother with non gendered words or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “a brother or sister … a brother or sister”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ ἀπίστων

and this before unbelievers

In this clause, Paul has omitted some words that might be necessary to make a complete thought in your language. If your language needs these words, you could include what action is happening. Alternate translation: “and they do this before unbelievers” or “and they go to court before unbelievers”
