TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Church as a Dynamic Body

Paul viewed the church as the living body of Christ comprised of believers. Paul made no formal distinction between professional clergy and laity, in which the ministry was done only by the clergy. The community had leaders (see, e.g., 1 Tim 3:1-13), but every believer had a ministry in building up the body (1 Cor 12:12-31). When the early believers gathered together, usually in someone’s home, everyone brought something from God to share with the others (14:26-33).

Paul understood God’s Spirit as gifting people for their specific ministries (12:7-11, 28; Rom 12:6-8; Eph 4:11) and leading them when they came together for worship. Guided by the Spirit, every believer was to use their spiritual gifts for the benefit of the church. Paul wanted believers to be sensitive to the empowering of the Spirit in all that they did (1 Cor 14:26-33).

When believers meet together, every individual is important and each one has an active role to play. Believers must listen for God speaking his word—and be prepared to speak it—in all their relationships. Paul also calls for the others to “evaluate” what is said (14:26, 29). Every believer is a crucial part of the body, called to be actively involved in its growth.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὅτι εἷς ἄρτος, ἓν σῶμα οἱ πολλοί ἐσμεν; οἱ γὰρ πάντες ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἄρτου μετέχομεν

because one loaf one body the many ˱we˲_are ¬the for all of the one loaf /are/_partaking

Here Paul presents his argument by stating a premise, a conclusion, and then another premise. If your language would naturally state both premises before the conclusion, you could rearrange these clauses. Alternate translation: “Because there is one bread, and we all partake from the one bread, we who are many are one body”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

εἷς ἄρτος & τοῦ ἑνὸς ἄρτου

one loaf & the one loaf

Here Paul speaks of one bread because he has in mind one “loaf” of bread from which we would eat pieces. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express one bread with a word or phrase that refers to one loaf of bread. Alternate translation: “there is one loaf … the one loaf”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἓν σῶμα οἱ πολλοί ἐσμεν

one body the many ˱we˲_are

Here Paul is speaking as if those who partake from the one bread together share one body. He speaks in this way to emphasize the unity that these people have when they eat the one bread, which is as close as if they had only one body. 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: “we who are many share all things together” or “we who are many are united together”
