1COR 12:15 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: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ πούς, ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ χείρ, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος

if /may/_say the foot because not ˱I˲_am /a/_hand not ˱I˲_am of the body

Here Paul is using a hypothetical situation to teach the Corinthians. He wants them to imagine that a foot could talk and claim that it is not of the body because it is not a hand. He uses this hypothetical situation because it is absurd for a foot to talk, and it is even more absurd that a foot would say these things if it could talk. Use a natural way in your language to introduce a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: [Suppose a foot would say, ‘Since I am not a hand, I am not of the body’]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ πούς

the foot

Paul is using any foot as an example. He is not speaking about one particular foot that can talk. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a form that refers to any foot. Alternate translation: [a foot] or [any foot]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ πούς

if /may/_say the foot

Here Paul speaks as if a foot could say things. He speaks in this way because he wants the Corinthians to think of themselves as body parts making up the body of Christ, and so the foot is an example for them. He also wishes them to see how absurd it is for a foot to say what it says here. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech by clarifying that this is a hypothetical situation in which a foot can say things. Alternate translation: [Say that a foot could talk, and it said]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

εἴπῃ & ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ χείρ, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος

/may/_say & because not ˱I˲_am /a/_hand not ˱I˲_am of the body

If your language does not use this form, you can translate the statement as an indirect quote instead of as a direct quote. Alternate translation: [would say that, since it is not a hand, it is not of the body]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος & οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος

not ˱I˲_am not ˱I˲_am of the body & not ˱it˲_is of the body

Here, of the body identifies something that belongs to or is part of the body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express of the body with a form in your language that refers to what is part of or belongs to something else. Alternate translation: [I am not a part of the body … it is not a part of the body]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο, οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος

not by this not ˱it˲_is of the body

Here Paul uses two negative words to express the idea that the reason that the foot gives is not valid for separating it from the body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the two negative words with positive words or only one negative word. Alternate translation: [despite that, it is of the body] or [it is still of the body]

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο

this

Here, this refers back to what the foot said about not being a hand. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with a word or phrase that more clearly identifies what it refers to. Alternate translation: [this reasoning] or [that idea]
