OET interlinear 1COR 7:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἡ γυνὴ & ὁ ἀνήρ & ὁ ἀνὴρ & ἡ γυνή

the wife & the husband & the husband & the wife

Just as in 7:3, Paul here refers to the husband and the wife in the singular, but he is speaking generically about any husband and wife. If your language does not use the singular form to refer to people in general, you can use a form that does refer generically to people in your language. Alternate translation: “each wife … her husband does … each husband … his wife does”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence -1) τοῦ ἰδίου σώματος οὐκ ἐξουσιάζει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ ἰδίου σώματος οὐκ ἐξουσιάζει ἀλλὰ ὁ ἀνήρ ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῦ ἰδίου σώματος οὐκ ἐξουσιάζει ἀλλὰ ἡ γυνή)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind authority, you can express the idea by using a verb or verbal phrase such as “control” or “claim as one’s own.” Alternate translation: “does not control her own body … does not control his own body” or “does not claim her body as her own … does not claim his body as his own”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ ἀνήρ & ἡ γυνή

the husband & the wife

In both these places, Paul omits some words that may be required in your language to make a full sentence. You could supply words from the first half of each statement in order to complete the thought, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “the husband has authority over her body … the wife has authority over his body”
