UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἴτε πάσχει ἓν μέλος & εἴτε δοξάζεται μέλος

whether /is/_suffering one member & or /is_being/_glorified /a/_member

Here Paul uses the conditional form to show the connection between one member and all the members. If the conditional form does not draw a close connection between what happens to one and what happens to all, you could use a different form that does draw a close connection. Alternate translation: “when one member suffers … when a member is honored”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

εἴτε πάσχει ἓν μέλος, συνπάσχει πάντα τὰ μέλη

whether /is/_suffering one member or (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἴτε πάσχει ἓν μέλος συμπάσχει πάντα τὰ μέλη εἴτε δοξάζεται μέλος συγχαίρει πάντα τὰ μέλη)

Here Paul speaks as if one member and indeed all the members of a body could suffer, which is a word that is normally used for people instead of things. He speaks in this way because he wants the Corinthians to think of themselves as members of the body of Christ, and so the members of a human body are an example for them. Here, he specifically has in mind the idea that an injury or infection in one body part (a finger, for example) has an effect on the entire body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with an analogy or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “if one member feels pain, all the members also feel the pain” or “if one member is like a person who suffers, all the members also join in the suffering”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δοξάζεται μέλος

/is_being/_glorified /a/_member

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 avoid stating who is doing the “honoring.” If you must state who does it, you can use a vague or indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “they honor a member” or “a member receives honor”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

συνχαίρει πάντα τὰ μέλη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἴτε πάσχει ἓν μέλος συμπάσχει πάντα τὰ μέλη εἴτε δοξάζεται μέλος συγχαίρει πάντα τὰ μέλη)

Here Paul speaks as if all the members of a body could rejoice like people do. He speaks in this way because he wants the Corinthians to think of themselves as members of the body of Christ, and so the members of a human body are an example for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with an analogy or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “all the members are like people who rejoice together” or “all the members together receive the honor”
