Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ γὰρ
also for
Here, the phrase for indeed indicates that the author is adding more information (indeed) that supports the exhortation in the previous verse (for). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words that introduce added information that supports a previous exhortation. Alternate translation: “Further, the reason we should serve with reverence and awe is that”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν πῦρ καταναλίσκον
the God ˱of˲_us_‹is› /a/_fire consuming
Here the author uses words that match the words in Deuteronomy 4:24. However, he does not introduce these words as a quotation. Some translations mark the words God is a consuming fire with quotation marks, while others do not. Consider what is the best way to show your readers that these words match Deuteronomy 4:24 without using words that introduce a quotation. Alternate translation: “our ‘God is a consuming fire.’”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν
the God ˱of˲_us_‹is›
Here, the author refers to God as our God to indicate that he is speaking about the only God that all believers serve. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that identifies God as the only God and as the God that believers worship and obey. Alternate translation: “the God whom we serve” or “God, whom we call our God,”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πῦρ καταναλίσκον
/a/_fire consuming
Here the author speaks of God as if he were a fire that is so powerful that it burns everything up. The author speaks in this way to refer to God’s powerful and complete judgment on those who disobey him and do not believe in him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or express the idea in plain language. Alternate translation: “is like a consuming fire” or “completely punishes everyone who disobeys him”
12:25-29 As the final warning in the book (see 2:1-4; 4:12-13; 6:4-8; 10:26-31), this passage plays off the image of God speaking in 12:18-24.
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.
