OET (OET-RV)So then, if you have legal disputes about things of this life, why do you appoint people with no standing in the assembly as judges?

OET-LVThe_living things therefore indeed courts if you_all_may_be_having, the ones having_been_scorned in the assembly, these you_all_are_sitting_down?

   (Biōtika men oun kritaʸria ean eⱪaʸte, tous exouthenaʸmenous en taʸ ekklaʸsia, toutous kathizete;)

ULTSo then, if you have legal disputes about things of this life, why do you appoint as judges these ones of no account in the church?

NETSo if you have ordinary lawsuits, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?

LSVOf the things of life, indeed, then, if you may have judgment, those despised in the Assembly—these you cause to sit;

FBVSo if you have to judge things that relate to this life, how can you go to judges that are not respected by the church?[fn]


6:4 Or “why not choose judges from the least respected members of the church?”

TCNTIf then you have disputes about such matters, do you seat as judges those who have no standing in the church?

T4TTherefore, when you believers have a dispute, you should certainly not choose as judges to decide your case people whom the congregation cannot respect because those judges are not believers! [RHQ]

LEBTherefore, if you have courts with regard to ordinary matters, do you seat[fn] these despised people in the church?


6:4 Or “seat” (imperative); the Greek verb can be either indicative mood or imperative mood by its form

BBEIf then there are questions to be judged in connection with the things of this life, why do you put them in the hands of those who have no position in the church?

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

βιωτικὰ & κριτήρια ἐὰν ἔχητε

/the/_living_‹things› & courts if ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_having

Here Paul uses if to introduce a true possibility. He means that they might have legal disputes, or they might not have legal disputes. He then specifies the result for if they do have legal disputes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the if statement by introducing it with a word such as “whenever” or “when.” Alternate translation: [when you have legal disputes about things of this life]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

κριτήρια & ἔχητε

courts & ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_having

Here, legal disputes could refer to: (1) legal disputes that are resolved in a court of law. Alternate translation: [you have lawsuits] (2) the court of law that decides the legal dispute. Alternate translation: [you seek a judgment in a court of law]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

βιωτικὰ

/the/_living_‹things›

Here, things of this life refers to anything that is a part of people’s ordinary or daily lives. Paul uses the word to identify the lawsuits among the Corinthians as matters of ordinary life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express about things of this life with a word or phrase that refers to features of daily or regular life. Alternate translation: [about what happens in your daily lives]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τοὺς ἐξουθενημένους ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, τούτους καθίζετε?

the_‹ones› /having_been/_scorned in the assembly these ˱you_all˲_/are/_sitting_down

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. The question assumes that the answer is “there is no good reason.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question as an emphatic statement or a command. Alternate translation: [do not appoint as judges those who are of no account in the church!]

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

τοὺς ἐξουθενημένους ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ

the_‹ones› /having_been/_scorned in the assembly

Here, these ones of no account in the church could be: (1) people who are not members of the church in Corinth. Alternate translation: [who do not believe] (2) people who are members of the church in Corinth but whom other believers do not respect. Alternate translation: [whom the fellow believers do not respect]
