OET interlinear 2COR 5:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

ἐνδυσάμενοι, οὐ γυμνοὶ εὑρεθησόμεθα

/having/_dressed_in not naked ˱we˲_/will_be_being/_found

Here Paul continues to speak of bodies as if they were clothing. You should express the idea as you did in 5:2. Alternate translation: [we have a house to live in, we will not be found homeless] or [having a new body that is like clothing, we will not be found naked, that is, without a body]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἴ γε & ἐνδυσάμενοι

if surely & /having/_dressed_in

Here Paul is speaking as if having clothed ourselves were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it will actually be true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might misunderstand and think that what Paul is saying is not certain, then you could express the idea by using a word such as “when” or “whenever.” Alternate translation: [when indeed we have clothed ourselves]

ἐνδυσάμενοι

/having/_dressed_in

Here Paul could mean that: (1) we clothe ourselves. Alternate translation: [we clothe ourselves] (2) God clothes “us.” Alternate translation: [God clothes us]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐ & εὑρεθησόμεθα

not & ˱we˲_/will_be_being/_found

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form to focus on the state of being naked rather than on who “finds” them, so you should avoid stating a subject for found. Alternate translation: [we will not be]
