OET interlinear ROM 14:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Occurrence 2) μηδὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καλόν τό μή φαγεῖν κρέα μηδέ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδέ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σοῦ προσκόπτει ἤ σκανδαλίζεται ἤ ἀσθενεῖ)

Paul is leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply the word from the context. Alternate translation: [and it is good not]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καλόν τό μή φαγεῖν κρέα μηδέ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδέ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σοῦ προσκόπτει ἤ σκανδαλίζεται ἤ ἀσθενεῖ)

Even though Paul is writing to a group of people, your here is singular. If the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural form of you in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ὁ ἀδελφός

the brother

Here, brother refers to a fellow Christian. See how you translated this word in [14:10](../14/10.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

προσκόπτει

˓is˒_stumbling

Here, stumbles refers to another believer succombing to the temptation to sin. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [sins]

Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants

ἢ σκανδαλίζεται, ἢ ἀσθενεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καλόν τό μή φαγεῖν κρέα μηδέ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδέ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σοῦ προσκόπτει ἤ σκανδαλίζεται ἤ ἀσθενεῖ)

These words are found in some traditional versions of the Bible, but they are not found in the most accurate ancient manuscripts of the Bible. ULT and UST indicate this by putting these words in brackets. If a translation of the Bible already exists in your area, you could consider including this verse if that translation does. If there is not already a Bible translation in your area, we recommend that you indicate in some way that this verse may not be original, such as by putting it in brackets or in a footnote.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σκανδαλίζεται, ἢ ἀσθενεῖ

˓is_being˒_stumbled (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καλόν τό μή φαγεῖν κρέα μηδέ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδέ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σοῦ προσκόπτει ἤ σκανδαλίζεται ἤ ἀσθενεῖ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that offends him or makes him weak]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀσθενεῖ

˓is˒_ailing

Here, weak refers to being spiritually immature. See how you translated “weak in the faith” in [14:1](../14/01.md).
