uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν

redeeming the time

Using time wisely is spoken of as if it were redeeming the time. Alternate translation: [doing the best things you can with your time] or [using time wisely] or [putting time to its best use]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιν

because the days evil are

The word days is a metonym for what people do during those days. Alternate translation: [because the people around you are constantly doing all kinds of evil things and the opportunities that you have to do good may become few]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

because

The connecting word because introduces the reason of a reason-result relationship. The reason is that the days are evil. The result is that the believers must redeem the time. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
