OET interlinear TIT 3:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, so that marks becoming heirs of eternal life as the goal or purpose for why God gave us the Holy Spirit (verse 6). Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δικαιωθέντες

˓having_been˒_justified

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [since God has declared us to be without sin]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ ἐκείνου χάριτι

˱by˲_the ˱of˲_that_‹one› grace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [by the gracious gift of that one] or [by what that one freely did for us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns

ἐκείνου

˱of˲_that_‹one›

Here, that one refers back to “our Savior Jesus Christ” in verse 6. If it would be helpful in your language, you could repeat that name here. Alternate translation: [of Jesus]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κληρονόμοι γενηθῶμεν, κατ’ ἐλπίδα ζωῆς αἰωνίου

heirs ˱we˲_˓may_be˒_become according_to ˓the˒_hope ˱of˲_life eternal

The people to whom God has made promises are spoken of as if they were to inherit the things promised, just as a person inherits property or possessions from a family member. Alternate translation: [we might expect to receive the eternal life that God has promised us]
