ACTs 20:21 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

διαμαρτυρόμενος & τὴν εἰς Θεὸν μετάνοιαν καὶ πίστιν εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦν

testifying & ¬which toward God repentance and faith toward the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [testifying about the need for … repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν εἰς Θεὸν μετάνοιαν καὶ πίστιν εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦν

¬which toward God repentance and faith toward the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas of repentance and faith, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [about the need to repent towards God and believe in our Lord Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

Paul is using the pronoun our to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
