Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
δι’ οὗ καὶ τὴν προσαγωγὴν ἐσχήκαμεν, τῇ πίστει εἰς τὴν χάριν ταύτην, ἐν ᾗ ἑστήκαμεν
through whom also the access ˱we˲_/have/_had ¬the ˱by˲_faith into ¬the grace this in which ˱we˲_/have/_stood
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of access, faith, or grace, you could express the same ideas another way. Alternate translation: “through whom we also access and stand in how gracious God is by trusting in him”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
οὗ
whom
The pronoun whom refers to “our Lord Jesus Christ,” as mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “our Lord Jesus Christ”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
καὶ & ἐσχήκαμεν & ἑστήκαμεν & καυχώμεθα
also & ˱we˲_/have/_had & ˱we˲_/have/_stood & ˱we˲_/are/_boasting
The pronoun we in this verse refers inclusively to all believers in Christ. See the discussion of this in the General Notes for this chapter. Alternate translation: “we believers also have … we believers stand … we believers boast”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰς τὴν χάριν ταύτην, ἐν ᾗ ἑστήκαμεν
into ¬the grace this in which ˱we˲_/have/_stood
Paul speaks of grace as if it were a location that someone could access and stand within. He means that trusting in Jesus allows believers to confidently experience how gracious God is toward his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “to confidently experience how kind God is” or “to safely experience how gracious God is”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
καυχώμεθα ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱we˲_/are/_boasting in hope ˱of˲_the glory ¬the ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of hope and glory, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “we may boast because we are confident that we will be glorified with God”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱of˲_the glory ¬the ˱of˲_God
Paul is using possessive forms to describe how glory relates to God. This could refer to: (1) the glory that God shares with believers. This was the same glory that God shared with humans when he created them, but which they lost when the first humans sinned, as mentioned in 3:23. Alternate translation: “of sharing in the glory God has” or “of the glory from God” (2) glorifying God, as in the similar phrase “the glory of the imperishable God” in 1:23. Alternate translation: “of glorifying God”
5:2 undeserved privilege (or grace): So basic is God’s grace (Greek charis) that Paul can use the word to sum up our present situation as believers.
• Where we now stand indicates that God’s grace is needed throughout the Christian life, not just at the beginning.
• Sharing God’s glory describes the content of Christian hope, which Paul introduces here and expounds more fully in 8:18-30. Behind Paul’s use of the word glory (Greek doxa) is the Hebrew word kabod, which depicts God’s majesty and overwhelming presence. The prophets predict a day when God’s glory will return to dwell in the midst of his people (see, e.g., Isa 60:1-2).
OET (OET-LV) through whom also the access we_have_had, the by_faith into the grace this, in which we_have_stood, and we_are_boasting in hope of_the glory of_ the _god.
OET (OET-RV) Through him we also have access by faith into this grace that we depend on and we are boasting in hope of God’s glory. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
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.
