Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

1:18-22 It was bad enough that Paul’s enemies at Corinth had attacked his character as unreliable and shifty (1:17). It was worse when they charged that his entire message was just as uncertain. In these verses Paul answers that allegation.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰς Χριστὸν
to Christ
Here, Paul is speaking of the relationship of believers to Christ as if they were located in Christ. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in close relationship with Christ]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
χρίσας ἡμᾶς
˓having˒_anointed us_‹is›
The implication is that God has anointed believers with the Holy Spirit so that they can live for him. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [having anointed us with the Holy Spirit to live for him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
(Occurrence 2) ἡμᾶς
us_‹is›
Here, us probably includes the Corinthian believers, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
