T4T When a fire starts burning a house, it becomes clear whether the builders used materials in their work that will burn, or materials that will not burn. Similarly [MET], when God judges us, it will be clear whether we taught others things that were long-lasting and valuable or not. If the materials that are used to build a house are materials that do not burn, the builder will receive a reward [MET]. Similarly, if we have taught others things that are valuable and long-lasting, God will give us a reward.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον μενεῖ, ὃ ἐποικοδόμησεν, μισθὸν λήμψεται.

if ˱of˲_anyone the work /will_be/_remaining which ˱he˲_built_up /a/_reward ˱he˲_/will_be/_receiving

Here and in 3:15, Paul uses If to introduce a true possibility. He means that a person’s work might remain, or it might not. He then specifies the result for each possibility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the If statement by using a relative clause. Alternate translation: “Anyone whose work that he built will remain will receive a reward”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον μενεῖ, ὃ ἐποικοδόμησεν, μισθὸν λήμψεται.

if ˱of˲_anyone the work /will_be/_remaining which ˱he˲_built_up /a/_reward ˱he˲_/will_be/_receiving

Here Paul continues the metaphor about building a house. In this verse, he notes that builders whose structures survive a fire receive rewards. He speaks in this way to indicate that God will reward those who proclaim more about the gospel if God finds their teachings to be accurate and acceptable to him when he judges everyone. The reward includes public recognition and other blessings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this metaphor with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “If anyone teaches you more about the gospel with words that are acceptable to God, he will be honored by God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τινος τὸ ἔργον & ὃ ἐποικοδόμησεν

˱of˲_anyone the work & which ˱he˲_built_up

Here Paul speaks both of work and what he built. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the ideas into one expression. Alternate translation: “anyone’s building project” or “what anyone built”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τὸ ἔργον

the work

Here Paul uses work to refer 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: “project” or “house”

μενεῖ

/will_be/_remaining

Alternate translation: “does not burn up”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τινος & ἐποικοδόμησεν & λήμψεται

˱of˲_anyone & ˱he˲_built_up & ˱he˲_/will_be/_receiving

Here, he is written in masculine form, but it refers to anyone, no matter what their gender might be. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind heby using a word that does not have gender, or you could use both genders. Alternate translation: “anyone’s … he or she built … he or she will receive” or “people’s … they built … they will receive”
