TSNTyndale Study Notes:

15:6 he was seen by more than 500: We have no other account of this event.
• most of whom are still alive: When this letter was written (around AD 53–56), the factuality of Christ’s resurrection could be verified by consulting living eyewitnesses.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὤφθη ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς ἐφάπαξ

˱he˲_/was/_seen ˱by˲_over five_hundred brothers all_at_once

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 to emphasize the person being seen rather than those who do the “seeing.” Alternate translation: [more than 500 brothers at once saw him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἐπάνω πεντακοσίοις ἀδελφοῖς

˱by˲_over five_hundred brothers

Although brothers is in masculine form, Paul is using it to refer to any believer, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brothers with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [by more than 500 brothers and sisters]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

ἐφάπαξ

all_at_once

Here, at once indicates that all of the more than 500 brothers saw Jesus at the same time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express at once with a word or a phrase that identifies this as one event. Alternate translation: [at the same time] or [simultaneously]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἐφάπαξ, ἐξ ὧν οἱ πλείονες μένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι, τινὲς δὲ ἐκοιμήθησαν

all_at_once of whom the greater /are/_remaining until now some but /were/_fallen_asleep

It may be more natural in your language to refer to the qualification that some have fallen asleep before making the main point that most of them remain until now. If so, you could reverse the order of these two clauses. Alternate translation: [at once. While some have fallen asleep, most of them remain until now]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μένουσιν ἕως ἄρτι

/are/_remaining until now

Here, to remain until now refers to being alive until the present moment. Paul means that most of the 500 people who saw Jesus are still alive when he is writing this letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express remain until now with a comparable idiom or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [continue to live until now]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἐκοιμήθησαν

/were/_fallen_asleep

Here Paul refers to dying as having fallen asleep. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express fallen asleep with a different polite way of referring to death or you could state the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [have passed away] or [are dead]
