OET (OET-LV) You saying not to_be_committing_adultery, you_are_committing_adultery?
You detesting the idols, you_are_temple-robbing?

OET (OET-RV) You teach about not messing with other people’s spouses, yet you do it yourself. You detest idols, but you sneak money out of the temple.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:17–29: The Jews and the law of Moses

In this section, Paul talked to the Jews about themselves. He continued to use the singular “you,” as in the previous section. This form of teaching is called a “diatribe.” (See Section 2:1–16.)

Using this diatribe, Paul rebuked the Jews because they had the law of Moses but they disobeyed it.

Paul showed them that an outward sign of religion is of no use to people if they did not do what is right. He told them that God praises those whose heart is right with God.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

God praises a changed heart

Truly following God comes from the heart

2:22a

You who forbid adultery,

You who forbid adultery: The Greek is literally “not to commit adultery.” It indicates a general command for people not to commit adultery.

adultery: This word refers to having sex with someone to whom you are not married.

In some languages people will want to use the polite expression to refer to this deed in this book. This might be an idiom. For example:

lie/sleep with someone who is not your wife or husband

2:22b

do you commit adultery?

do you commit adultery?: This is a rhetorical question. It emphasizes that this person should not commit adultery. Translate this clause with that meaning. Here are some ways:

2:22c

You who abhor idols,

You who abhor idols: The word abhor means to hate and turn away from something, because it is so bad. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

You detest idols (GNT)

you treat idols with disgust (GW)

You hate idols (NCV)

idols: An “idol” is a statue or other physical representation of a god. It is something before which someone could worship that god.

2:22d

do you rob temples?

do you rob temples?: This is a rhetorical question. It emphasizes that this person should not rob temples. Translate this clause with that meaning. Here are some ways:

It is likely that Paul meant this literally, since there are a few stories about Jews going and stealing valuable things from temples of pagan gods. But Gentiles thought this was a really bad crime, as bad as killing people.It may be that some carried off the images of the gods, since there was a lot of gold and silver and valuable stones on them (Deuteronomy 7:25). Non-Jews also used the temples of their gods like banks, storing up their money there, thinking that the god of that temple would protect their money.

temples: Here the Greek word that the BSB translates as temples refers to buildings where a god is worshipped. Greek temples usually had a statue of the god and an altar. Some languages do not have a word for this meaning. If that is true in your language, explain the meaning in the text. For example:

houses of/for worship

pagan worship houses/places

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ὁ λέγων μὴ μοιχεύειν, μοιχεύεις? ὁ βδελυσσόμενος τὰ εἴδωλα, ἱεροσυλεῖς?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ λέγων μή μοιχεύειν μοιχεύεις Ὁ βδελυσσόμενος τά εἴδωλα ἱεροσυλεῖς)

Like in the previous verse, Paul is not asking for information here, but is using the question form twice to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as statements or exclamations and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You who say not to commit adultery actually commit adultery! You who abhor idols actually rob temples!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἱεροσυλεῖς

˱you˲_˓are˒_temple-robbing

Here Paul implies that the temples the Jews rob are where idols are kept and worshiped. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [do you rob temples where idols are kept] or [should you actually enter an idol temple and rob it]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:22 do you use items stolen from pagan temples? Old Testament law prohibited Jews from having anything to do with pagan idols (see Deut 7:26), but first-century Jews did not strictly follow this law. Sometimes they stole idols and used or sold the precious metals.
