OET interlinear ROM 12:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἔχοντες & ἡμῖν

having & ˱to˲_us

Here, we and us refer to all Christians, so they are inclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔχοντες & χαρίσματα & διάφορα

having & gifts & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔχοντες Δέ χαρίσματα κατά τήν χάριν τήν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διαφορά εἴτε προφητείαν κατά τήν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως)

Paul speaks of the different abilities to serve other believers that God gives believers as being gracious gifts from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [we have different spiritual abilities]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κατὰ τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔχοντες Δέ χαρίσματα κατά τήν χάριν τήν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διαφορά εἴτε προφητείαν κατά τήν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως)

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: [according to the grace that God has given to us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν χάριν & προφητείαν, κατὰ τὴν ἀναλογίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔχοντες Δέ χαρίσματα κατά τήν χάριν τήν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διαφορά εἴτε προφητείαν κατά τήν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of grace and prophecy, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [what is graciously … being able to prophecy, according to what has been proportioned]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εἴτε προφητείαν, κατὰ τὴν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως

whether prophecy (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔχοντες Δέ χαρίσματα κατά τήν χάριν τήν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διαφορά εἴτε προφητείαν κατά τήν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως)

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [if God has given someone the gift of prophecy, then that person must use that gift according to the proportion of his faith]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατὰ τὴν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔχοντες Δέ χαρίσματα κατά τήν χάριν τήν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διαφορά εἴτε προφητείαν κατά τήν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως)

Here Paul uses faith in the same way he did in [12:3](../12/03.md). See how you translated the clause “as God has distributed to each one a measure of faith” in that verse.
