1 Corinthians 12:13
Context12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves 2 or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 16:2

1 tn Grk “the scribe.” The traditional rendering of γραμματεύς (grammateu") as “scribe” does not communicate much to the modern English reader, for whom the term might mean “professional copyist,” if it means anything at all. The people referred to here were recognized experts in the law of Moses and in traditional laws and regulations. Thus “expert in the Mosaic law” comes closer to the meaning for the modern reader.
2 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:21.
3 tn Grk “set aside, storing whatever he has been blessed with.”
4 tn Grk “set aside, storing.” The participle θησαυρίζων (qhsaurizwn) indicates the purpose or result of setting aside the extra income.
5 tn “To the extent that God has blessed you” translates an awkward expression, “whatever has been prospered [to you].” This verb has been translated as an active with “God” as subject, taking it as a divine passive.
6 tn Grk “so that collections will not be taking place.”
