OET interlinear 1TIM 4:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

because

Here, the word For introduces support for what Paul stated in the previous verse about what God made foods for. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces support for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “I write that about foods because” or “In fact,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πᾶν κτίσμα Θεοῦ

every creature ˱of˲_God_‹is›

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of creation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “everything that has been created by God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

κτίσμα Θεοῦ

creature ˱of˲_God_‹is›

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe every creation that is made by God. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “creation made by God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐδὲν ἀπόβλητον μετὰ εὐχαριστίας λαμβανόμενον

nothing rejected_‹is› with thanksgiving /being/_received

If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas with active forms or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the actions, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “people should reject nothing that they receive with thanksgiving”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ εὐχαριστίας

with thanksgiving

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of thanksgiving, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “thankfully”
