ACTs 20:32 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Paul is speaking of the word of God’s grace as if it were a living thing that was able to do the things he describes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to God who, through the word of his grace, is able]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ

¬the ˱to˲_the word ˱of˲_the grace ˱of˲_him

Paul is using the term word to mean the message about God’s grace that Jesus and his apostles shared by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to the message about his grace]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ

¬the ˱to˲_the word ˱of˲_the grace ˱of˲_him

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: [to the message about how God has graciously saved us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ δυναμένῳ οἰκοδομῆσαι

¬the ˱to˲_the ¬which being_able ˓to˒_build

Paul is speaking as if these believers were a wall or building or other structure and the word of God’s grace was making them higher and stronger. Alternate translation: [which is able to make you more confident and mature in your faith]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν κληρονομίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τά νῦν παρατίθεμαι ὑμᾶς τῷ Θεῷ καί τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ τῷ δυναμένῳ οἰκοδομῆσαι καί δοῦναι τήν κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις πᾶσιν)

Paul is speaking as if the blessings that God gives believers were money or property that a child inherits from a father. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God’s blessings]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις

the_‹ones› ˓having_been˒_sanctified

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [the ones whom God has sanctified]
