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: translate-unknown

εἰ τύχοι

if ˱it˲_/might/_happen

Here, doubtless indicates that Paul is assuming that there are so many kinds of languages. He is not arguing this and is not interested in proving it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express doubtless with a comparable word or phrase that refers to something that is assumed to be true. Alternate translation: “assuredly” or “certainly”

οὐδὲν ἄφωνον

not_one_‹kind› silent_‹is›

Here, without meaning could refer to: (1) how all the languages “communicate” clearly among those who know those languages. Alternate translation: “and none communicate nothing” (2) how all the languages use “sound” or “voice” to communicate. Alternate translation: “none is without sound” or “all of them use the voice”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐδὲν ἄφωνον

not_one_‹kind› silent_‹is›

Here Paul uses a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that means the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: “all have meaning”
