OET interlinear 1 TIM 5:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν Μή παραδέχου ἐκτός εἰ μή ἐπί δύο ἤ τριῶν μαρτυρῶν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of accusation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [When someone accuses an elder, do not receive it]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ

accusation (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν Μή παραδέχου ἐκτός εἰ μή ἐπί δύο ἤ τριῶν μαρτυρῶν)

If, in your language, it would appear that Paul was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [receive an accusation only if]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν Μή παραδέχου ἐκτός εἰ μή ἐπί δύο ἤ τριῶν μαρτυρῶν)

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [unless it is based on the testimony of]

δύο ἢ τριῶν

two (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν Μή παραδέχου ἐκτός εἰ μή ἐπί δύο ἤ τριῶν μαρτυρῶν)

Alternate translation: [two or more]
