OET interlinear 1COR 8:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἴ τις δοκεῖ ἐγνωκέναι τι, οὔπω ἔγνω

if anyone /is/_supposing /to_have/_known anything not_yet knew

Here Paul uses if to introduce a true possibility. He means that someone might think he knows something, or that person might not think so. He then specifies the result that happens if the person does think he knows something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the if statement by using a relative clause or by introducing the sentence with “whenever.” Alternate translation: “Anyone who thinks he knows something does not yet know” or “Whenever anyone thinks he knows something, he does not yet know”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἐγνωκέναι & οὔπω ἔγνω & δεῖ

/to_have/_known & not_yet knew & ˱it˲_/is/_fitting

Although he is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to anyone, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express he with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “he or she knows … he or she does not yet know … he or she ought”
