ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον φανερὸν γενήσεται; ἡ γὰρ ἡμέρα δηλώσει, ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται; καὶ ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον, ὁποῖόν ἐστιν, τὸ πῦρ αὐτὸ δοκιμάσει

˱of˲_each the work manifest /will_be/_becoming the for day /will_be/_making_evident_‹it› because in fire ˱it˲_/is_being/_revealed and ˱of˲_each his work what_kind ˱it˲_is the fire itself /will_be/_approving

Here Paul continues the metaphor about building a house. He speaks as if the day of God’s judgment is like a fire that will test the building and show what kind of building materials the builders used. Paul speaks in this way to illustrate how God’s judgment will reveal whether what those who proclaim more about the gospel teach is pleasing to him or not. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this metaphor with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [the truth of what each one has taught you will become evident, for God will show how true it is when he comes to judge everyone; when he comes, he will judge everyone, and his judgment will reveal whether what each person has taught is true or not]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον

˱of˲_each the work

Here, work refers to the product or result of the work, not the action of “working.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind workwith a word or phrase that refers to the product of the work. Alternate translation: [what each one has made]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον φανερὸν γενήσεται

˱of˲_each the work manifest /will_be/_becoming

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 focus on the work that will be evident rather than the person doing making it evident. If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: [God will make the work of each one evident]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ & ἡμέρα δηλώσει

the & day /will_be/_making_evident_‹it›

Here Paul uses day in the same way the Old Testament uses it: to refer to an event in which God saves his people and punishes his enemies. Paul specifically refers to the event in which Jesus returns to judge everyone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include more words that clarify what Paul means by day. Alternate translation: [the day of Christ’s return will display] or [when Christ returns, he will display it]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐν πυρὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται

in fire ˱it˲_/is_being/_revealed

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 focus on what is revealed rather than the person doing the “revealing.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: [God reveals it in fire]

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀποκαλύπτεται

˱it˲_/is_being/_revealed

Here, it is revealed refers to the day. It does not refer to the work. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that it refers to the day. Alternate translation: [that day is revealed]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

ἀποκαλύπτεται

˱it˲_/is_being/_revealed

Here Paul speaks as if the day is revealed right now. In his language, he can use the present tense to speak about the way in which something happens in general, even if it is not happening in the present moment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this use of the present tense by using the future tense. Alternate translation: [it will be revealed]

ἐν πυρὶ

in fire

Alternate translation: [with fire] or [in a fiery way]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

τὸ πῦρ αὐτὸ

the his the fire itself

Here, itself focuses attention on the fire. If itself would not draw attention in this way in your language, you could express the attention or focus in another way. Alternate translation: [that fire] or [the fire indeed]
