8:20 επ ¦ εφ CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
8:19-21 All creation includes animals, plants, and the earth itself. Paul follows Old Testament precedent (see especially Ps 65:12-13; Isa 24:4; Jer 4:28; 12:4) by personifying the created world.
• waiting eagerly . . . looks forward: Just as the entire world was harmed by Adam’s fall into sin, it will share in the blessings that God has promised his people (e.g., Isa 4:2, Rev 21:1-2).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows in 8:20–22 is the reason why what Paul said in the previous verse is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “This is due to the fact that”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῇ & ματαιότητι
˱to˲_the & uselessness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of futility, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to the condition of being futile”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἡ κτίσις
the creation
See how you translated this in the previous verse.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἡ κτίσις ὑπετάγη
the creation /was/_subjected
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God subjugated the creation”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἡ κτίσις ὑπετάγη, οὐχ ἑκοῦσα
the creation /was/_subjected not willingly
Here Paul speaks of the creation as if it were a person who could be subjected to someone and could have a will. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile. Alternate translation: “it is as if the creation were subjected against its will”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸν ὑποτάξαντα
the_‹one› /having/_subjected_‹it›
This phrase refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “God, who subjected it”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐφ’ ἑλπίδι
in hope
Here, hope refers to the creation’s hope, which is why the creation is “eagerly expecting the revelation of the sons of God” in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “on the basis of giving hope”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἑλπίδι
hope
See how you translated hope in 5:4.
