UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

μηδεὶς καυχάσθω ἐν ἀνθρώποις

no_one /let_be/_boasting in people

Here Paul uses a third-person imperative. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use one here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could express the idea using a word such as “should.” Alternate translation: [no one should boast in men]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μηδεὶς καυχάσθω ἐν ἀνθρώποις

no_one /let_be/_boasting in people

The phrase boast in men means that a person is boasting “about” humans. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express boast in with a word or phrase that clarifies that the “boasting” has men as its content. Alternate translation: [let no one boast about men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν ἀνθρώποις

in people

The next verse makes it clear that here Paul specifically has leaders in mind. He wishes to tell the Corinthians that they should not boast about having a specific leader that they follow. If this meaning of in men would not be understood in your language, you could include some words that clarify that it refers to following leaders. Alternate translation: [in men that they follow] or [in men whose group they are part of]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώποις

people

Although men is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to anyone, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express men with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [in people] or [in men or women]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντα & ὑμῶν ἐστιν

all_‹things› & ˱of˲_you_all is

Here, all things are yours also implies that boasting in men is foolish. If the Corinthians have everything, then boasting about following a specific leader does not make sense. All the Corinthians have all the leaders, and much more beyond that (See: 3:22). If your readers would not infer that all things are yours implies these conclusions, you could include a phrase that states these conclusions. Alternate translation: [all things are yours, including all leaders]
