OET interlinear ACTs 4:34

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge

οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐνδεής τις ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐδέ Γάρ ἐνδεής τὶς ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅσοι γάρ κτήτορες χωρίων ἤ οἰκιῶν ὑπῆρχον πωλοῦντες ἔφερον τάς τιμάς τῶν πιπρασκομένων)

This statement expresses the result of the rest of what Luke says in this verse and what he says in the next verse. If it would be helpful in your language to put this result after the reasons for it, you could create a verse bridge by moving this statement to the end of the next verse and beginning it with the word “So” instead of For.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐδέ Γάρ ἐνδεής τὶς ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅσοι γάρ κτήτορες χωρίων ἤ οἰκιῶν ὑπῆρχον πωλοῦντες ἔφερον τάς τιμάς τῶν πιπρασκομένων)

Luke uses the word For in its first instance in this verse to introduce the evidence or reason for his statement at the end of the previous verse that “great grace was upon them all.” The meaning here depends on the meaning there. Alternate translation: (1) [The way God was blessing the believers could be seen in the fact that] or (2) [One thing that made the people think very highly of the believers was that]

Luke uses the word for in its second instance in this verse to introduce the reason why no one in the community of believers was needy. Alternate translation: [and the reason for this was that]

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [the money that they received from the things they sold]
