OET (OET-RV) except to just to continue to obey the true teaching that you’ve received, until I return.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
πλὴν ὃ ἔχετε, κρατήσατε ἄχρι οὗ ἂν ἥξω
however what ˱you_all˲_/are/_having take_hold_of until ˱of˲_which ¬wishfully ˱I˲_/may/_come
If you translated the beginning of this quotation in the previous verse as an indirect quotation so that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can also translate the end of the quotation here as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “except to hold on to what you have until I come”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃ ἔχετε, κρατήσατε
what ˱you_all˲_/are/_having take_hold_of
By what you have, Jesus means implicitly the good things that the faithful believers in Thyatira have been doing. (See the discussion of the phrase “you have” in the General Notes to this chapter.) Alternate translation: “continue to do the good things that you are doing”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὃ ἔχετε, κρατήσατε
what ˱you_all˲_/are/_having take_hold_of
Jesus is speaking as if he wants the believers in Pergamum literally to hold on to the good things that they have been doing. He means that he wants the believers to continue doing these things. Alternate translation: “continue to do the good things that you have been doing”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ἔχετε, κρατήσατε
˱you_all˲_/are/_having take_hold_of
Jesus is continuing to use the plural form of you as he speaks to the faithful believers in Thyatira in order to encourage them. You may consider using the plural form of “you” here if that would be natural in your language.
2:18-29 The letter to the church in Thyatira confronts Christians who mix Christianity with pagan practices and a worldly lifestyle.
OET (OET-RV) except to just to continue to obey the true teaching that you’ve received, until I return.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
