Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τολμᾷ τις ὑμῶν, πρᾶγμα ἔχων πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον, κρίνεσθαι ἐπὶ τῶν ἀδίκων, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἁγίων?
/is/_daring anyone ˱of˲_you_all /a/_matter having against ¬the another /to_be_being/_judged before the unrighteous and not before the holy_‹ones›
Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. Here, the truthful answer to the question is “they are, but they should not.” Paul asks the question to get the Corinthians to realize how bad going to court before the unrighteous is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a “should” statement or a statement of fact. Alternate translation: [Some of you actually dare, having a dispute with another, to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints.]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
τολμᾷ
/is/_daring
Here, dare refers to having confidence or boldness when one should not have confidence or boldness. Use a word or phrase in your language that indicates improper confidence. Alternate translation: [Do … have the audacity]
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
πρᾶγμα ἔχων πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον
/a/_matter having against ¬the another
The phrase having a dispute with another provides the situation in which they are going to court. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it explicit. Alternate translation: [if you have a dispute with another] or [whenever you have a dispute with another]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸν ἕτερον
¬the another
Here, another identifies the other person as a fellow believer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate another with a word or phrase that identifies another as a believer. Alternate translation: [another believer]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κρίνεσθαι ἐπὶ & ἐπὶ
/to_be_being/_judged before & before
The phrase to go to court before refers to settling a lawsuit or other legal dispute before a judge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express go to court before with a comparable idiom that refers to setting a dispute in a court of law. Alternate translation: [to resolve your lawsuit in the presence of … in the presence of]
