OET interlinear 1TIM 5:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τινῶν ἀνθρώπων

˱of˲_some people

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [of some men and women]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

προάγουσαι εἰς κρίσιν, τισὶν δὲ καὶ ἐπακολουθοῦσιν

going_before_‹them› to judgment ˱to˲_some but also ˱they˲_/are/_following_after

Here Paul speaks of sins as if they were people who could be going ahead of or who could follow those who sinned into the place where judgment happens. He means that everyone knows that some people are guilty before they experience judgment, but with other people no one knows that they are guilty before they experience judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [being obvious before judgment, but also they are not obvious for some] or [showing that they are guilty before judgment, but also some people’s sins are hidden until judgment]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς κρίσιν

to judgment

Here, the word judgment could refer to: (1) how God will judge everyone when Jesus comes back. Alternate translation: [into the final judgment] or [God’s judgment] (2) how the church or its leaders will judge people who are sinning. Alternate translation: [into the church’s judgment] or [into the judgment of the church leaders]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς κρίσιν

to judgment

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Make sure that your translation fits with the option you chose in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [to when they are judged]
