OET interlinear 1 TIM 6:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why Paul focuses on gaining things besides money in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [I say that since] or [Trying to gain money is wrong because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδὲν & εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον

nothing & ˱we˲_carried_in into the world

Here Paul is referring to when a person is born. At birth, a person does not own anything or contribute anything to the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [we brought nothing into the world when we were born]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὅτι

because

Here, the word translated that could: (1) introduce something that is clear or obvious. In this case, Paul has omitted the words that indicate that the second sentence is clear or obvious. Alternate translation: [and it is clear that] (2) introduce a reason for the first clause. In this case, the reason why people bring nothing into the world is because they will bring nothing out of the world. Alternate translation: [because] (3) function as a simple connector. Alternate translation: [and]

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

ὅτι

because

Many ancient manuscripts read that. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “it is clear that.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα

neither ˓to˒_bring_out anything ˱we˲_˓are˒_being_able

Here Paul is referring to when a person dies. At death, a person no longer owns anything or contributes anything to the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [neither are we able to take anything out when we die]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐξενεγκεῖν τι

˓to˒_bring_out anything

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [to take anything out of the world]
