OET interlinear 1TIM 2:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a basis for Paul’s claim in the previous verse that God desires all people to be saved and to know the truth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a basis for a claim. Alternate translation: [We know that because] or [That claim is supported by this:]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

εἷς καὶ μεσίτης Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων

one one also mediator ˱between˲_God and humans

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a mediator who mediates between God and men. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and one who mediates between God and men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

humans

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [of people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄνθρωπος Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς

/the/_human Christ Jesus

Here Paul uses the word man to emphasize that Christ Jesus is human, just like the men for whom he functions as a mediator. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Christ Jesus, who also is human]
