Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

10:7 Feasting and drinking refers to celebrations in honor of pagan gods; pagan revelry suggests wild partying with drinking and sex.
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
ὥσπερ γέγραπται
as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written
In Paul’s culture, even as it is written was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text. In this case, the quotation comes from Exodus 32:6. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express how Paul introduces the quotation with a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [for it can be read in Exodus] or [For in the book of Exodus we read]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γέγραπται
˱it˲_/has_been/_written
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 what is written rather than focusing on the person doing the “writing.” If you must state who does the action, you can express it so that: (1) the scripture or scripture author writes or speaks the words. Alternate translation: [Moses has written] (2) God speaks the words. Alternate translation: [God has said]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
γέγραπται, ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν
˱it˲_/has_been/_written sat_down the people /to/_eat and /to/_drink and ˱they˲_stood_up /to_be/_playing
If your language does not use this form, you can translate the command as an indirect quote instead of as a direct quote. Alternate translation: [it is written that the people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to play]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν
sat_down the people /to/_eat and /to/_drink and ˱they˲_stood_up /to_be/_playing
This quotation comes from a story in which Moses has gone up on a mountain to meet with God. While he is gone, the Israelites make an idol and worship it. This quotation is how their worship is described. Paul chooses this verse because it refers specifically to food sacrificed to idols and to sexual immorality (play, see the next note), which are the topics he has discussed and will again discuss. If your readers are not familiar with this story, you could add a footnote that refers to or summarizes the story.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
παίζειν
/to_be/_playing
Here, play is a polite way to refer to sexual behavior. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express play with a comparable polite term. Alternate translation: [to have sex] or [to make love]
