Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν

for shame ˱to˲_you_all

Here, to your shame means that the things that Paul has said should make the Corinthians feel shame. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express to your shame with a comparable idiom or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [to embarrass you] or [to make you feel ashamed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν λέγω

for shame ˱to˲_you_all ˱I˲_/am/_saying

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind shame, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “shame.” Alternate translation: [I say this to shame you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὕτως οὐκ ἔνι & οὐδεὶς σοφὸς

thus not there_is & no_one wise

The phrase Is it thus that there is not any wise man identifies a situation in which no wise man can be found. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this phrase or find it confusing with a comparable expression that identifies a situation in which there are no wise people. Alternate translation: [Is there not a wise man]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὕτως οὐκ ἔνι ἐν ὑμῖν οὐδεὶς σοφὸς, ὃς δυνήσεται διακρῖναι ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ?

thus not there_is among you_all no_one wise who /will_be/_able /to/_distinguish among /your/_midst ˱of˲_the brother ˱of˲_him

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, specifically by making them feel ashamed. The question assumes that the answer is “there should be.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a “should” statement or introduce a statement with “surely.” Alternate translation: [You should have a wise man among you who will be able to discern between his brothers.]
