Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ
in the today day
This is an idiomatic expression. Your language may have its own way of expressing the same meaning. Alternate translation: “this very day”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
καθαρός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος πάντων
pure ˱I˲_am from the blood ˱of˲_all
Paul is referring to death as a punishment by association with the way a person’s blood is often shed when they are executed. In this case the death is not physical but spiritual. It is the punishment of spiritual death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I am not responsible for the punishment of spiritual death that any of you might receive”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καθαρός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος πάντων
pure ˱I˲_am from the blood ˱of˲_all
Paul assumes that his readers will understand that they would receive a punishment of spiritual death for rejecting Jesus as their Savior from the guilt of sin. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I am not responsible for the punishment of spiritual death that any of you might receive for rejecting Jesus as your Savior from the guilt of sin”
