1COR 11:31 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-contrary

εἰ δὲ ἑαυτοὺς διεκρίνομεν

if and ourselves ˱we˲_/were/_distinguishing

Here Paul is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he is already convinced that the condition is not true. He has already stated in the last verse that the Corinthians are being judged, which means that we are indeed judged. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: “But were we to actually examine ourselves”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἑαυτοὺς διεκρίνομεν

ourselves ˱we˲_/were/_distinguishing

Here Paul is speaking about examining ourselves in the context of the Lord’s Supper, as the similarity of this statement to 11:28 shows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state explicitly that Paul is still speaking about examining in the context of the Lord’s Supper. Alternate translation: “we were examining ourselves at the Lord’s Supper”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐκ ἂν ἐκρινόμεθα

not ¬wishfully ˱we˲_/were_being/_judged

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 judged rather than focusing on the person doing the “judging.” Alternate translation: “God would not judge us”
