UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

γρηγορεῖτε, στήκετε ἐν τῇ πίστει, ἀνδρίζεσθε, κραταιοῦσθε

/be/_watching /be/_standing_firm in the faith /be/_masculine /be_being/_strengthened

Here Paul gives four short commands without any connecting words. All the commands are related to persevering in Christian belief and living. Use a form in your language that would be used for short commands in a row. Alternate translation: [Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, and be strong!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

γρηγορεῖτε

/be/_watching

Here, Stay alert refers to keeping oneself from falling asleep. Paul speaks in this way to command the Corinthians to be watchful and pay attention to what is going on around them rather than “falling asleep.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Stay alert with a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [Keep your eyes open] or [Pay attention]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

στήκετε ἐν τῇ πίστει

/be/_standing_firm in the faith

Here Paul speaks as if the faith were something solid in which the Corinthians could stand firm. He speaks in this way because he wants them to persevere in the faith as much as people stand firm on the ground. People trust the ground to hold them up, and they can stand on it for a long time. In the same way, Paul wants the Corinthians to trust and persevere in the faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [persevere in the faith]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ πίστει

in the faith

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind faith, you can express the idea in another way. Here, faith could refer primarily to: (1) the act of believing. Alternate translation: [as you believe] or [in how you believe] (2) what they believe. Alternate translation: [in what you believe]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνδρίζεσθε

/be/_masculine

Here, act like men is a way to urge someone to be brave and courageous. The opposite of acting like men is acting like cowards. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idiom with a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [be stouthearted] or [act with courage]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κραταιοῦσθε

/be_being/_strengthened

Here, be strong does not refer to physical strength but rather to mental strength or determination. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express be strong with a word or phrase that urges mental strength or determination. Alternate translation: [keep persevering]
