UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀγαπητοί μου

beloved ˱of˲_me

Connecting Statement:

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on those who are beloved rather than focusing on the person doing the “loving.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that he himself loves them. Alternate translation: [people whom I love]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

φεύγετε ἀπὸ

/be/_fleeing from

Just as in 6:18, here Paul wants the Corinthians to avoid idolatry as urgently as if it were an enemy or danger that they might flee from. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [carefully stay away from] or [fight against]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς εἰδωλολατρίας

¬the idolatry

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind idolatry, you can express the idea by using a phrase such as “worshiping other gods” or “serving idols.” Alternate translation: [serving idols] or [worshiping idols]
