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 / rquestion

μὴ πάντες ἀπόστολοι? μὴ πάντες προφῆται? μὴ πάντες διδάσκαλοι? μὴ πάντες δυνάμεις?

not all ambassadors not all prophets not all teachers not all miracles

Paul does not ask these questions because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks them to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The questions assume that the answer is “no, they are not” or “no, they do not.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express these questions by stating the ideas as strong negations. Alternate translation: “Not all are apostles. Not all are prophets. Not all are teachers. Not all do miracles.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

μὴ πάντες δυνάμεις

not all not all not all not all miracles

Here, unlike with the other questions in the verse, supplying are does not make sense. Paul is not saying that Not all “are” miracles. Rather, he is saying that Not all perform miracles. You could supply a comparable word that refers to “performing” miracles. Alternate translation: “Not all perform miracles, do they”
