UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ ποτήριον τῆς εὐλογίας

the cup ¬the ˱of˲_blessing

Here Paul uses the possessive form to describe a cup that is characterized by blessing. This phrase identifies a specific cup, here, the cup used in the Lord’s Supper. If your language does not use the possessive form to express that idea, you can identify the cup as the one used in the Lord’s Supper. Alternate translation: [The cup in the Lord’s Supper]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ ποτήριον

the cup

Here the Corinthians would have understood cup to refer to the drink inside the cup, which in Paul’s culture would have been wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express cup by more explicitly referring to what would be in the cup. Alternate translation: [The drink] or [The wine]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς εὐλογίας

¬the ˱of˲_blessing

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind blessing, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “bless.” Alternate translation: [that blesses and]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

εὐλογοῦμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία ἐστὶν τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ?

˱we˲_/are/_blessing not /a/_fellowship is_‹it› ˱of˲_the blood ˱of˲_the Messiah

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “yes, it is.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong affirmation. Alternate translation: [we bless is certainly a sharing of the blood of Christ.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

κοινωνία & τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ & κοινωνία τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ

/a/_fellowship & ˱of˲_the blood ˱of˲_the Messiah & /a/_fellowship ˱in˲_the body ˱of˲_the Messiah

Here Paul uses the possessive form to describe a sharing that “shares in” the blood and body of Christ. This could refer primarily to: (1) communion in or union with Christ himself. Alternate translation: [communion with the blood of Christ … communion with the body of Christ] (2) being joined together with other believers, which comes from sharing in the blood and body of Christ. Alternate translation: [sharing in fellowship based on the blood of Christ … sharing in fellowship based on the body of Christ]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

κλῶμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐστιν?

˱we˲_/are/_breaking not /a/_fellowship ˱in˲_the body ˱of˲_the Messiah is_‹it›

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “yes, it is.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong affirmation. Alternate translation: [we break is certainly a sharing of the body of Christ.]

Note 7 topic: translate-unknown

κλῶμεν

˱we˲_/are/_breaking

Here, to break bread refers to taking a large loaf and splitting it up into pieces so that many people can eat the pieces. By using we break, Paul is referring to many people together eating bread. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express we break with a word or phrase in your language that refers to how people eat bread while still emphasizing that many people eat the bread. Alternate translation: [we eat together]
