1COR 11:16 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἰ

Here Paul uses if to introduce a true possibility. He means that someone might be contentious about this, or someone might not. He specifies the result for if anyone is contentious. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the if statement by introducing it with a word such as “whenever.” Alternate translation: [whenever]

δοκεῖ φιλόνικος εἶναι

/is/_supposing contentious to_be

Alternate translation: [decides to pick a fight about this] or [considers starting a conflict about this]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς

Here, we refers to Paul and others who proclaim the gospel with him. It does not include the Corinthians.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοιαύτην συνήθειαν

such custom

Here, any such practice could refer to: (1) the practice that anyone who thinks to be contentious supports. Therefore, this practice would be for women to have “uncovered” heads. Alternate translation: [the practice that they have] or [the practice of women with uncovered heads] (2) being contentious. Alternate translation: [any such practice of being contentious] or [the practice of being contentious]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐδὲ αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τοῦ Θεοῦ

nor the assemblies ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul omits these words because he stated them explicitly in the previous clause (do not have any such practice). If your language does need these words, you could supply as many as are needed from that clause. Alternate translation: [nor do the churches of God]
