1COR 16:7 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 / synecdoche

ἰδεῖν

/to/_see

Here, to see people refers to spending time with them, not just seeing them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express to see with a comparable figure of speech or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [to visit] or [to spend time with]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

ἄρτι

now

Here, now refers to the soonest Paul could arrive in Corinth. It contrasts with a visit that could happen later and last longer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express now with a word or phrase that refers to the near future. Alternate translation: [very soon]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἄρτι ἐν παρόδῳ

now in passage

Here, only in passing gives the reason why Paul does not desire to see you now. If he were to visit them now, it would be only in passing, and Paul thinks that such a short visit is not worthwhile. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate how only in passing relates to I do not desire to see you now by making the relationship more explicit. Alternate translation: [now, since it would only be in passing]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν παρόδῳ

in passage

Here, only in passing refers to a brief time, particularly a time between two other events. Paul is referring to a short visit while traveling somewhere else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express only in passing with a comparable phrase that refers to a short period of time. Alternate translation: [as I travel through] or [briefly]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

χρόνον τινὰ

/a/_time certain

Here, for some time refers to a longer period of time than only in passing. Given what Paul said in the previous verse (16:6), it probably refers to a time period as long as “winter.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express for some time with a word or phrase that refers to a period of time as long as a whole season. Alternate translation: [for a while]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐὰν ὁ Κύριος ἐπιτρέψῃ

if the Lord /may/_permit

Here, if the Lord would permit means that Paul plans on traveling in the ways he has described, but he acknowledges that this will only happen if that is what the Lord allows him to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this phrase with a comparable phrase that refers to what a deity allows or wants. Alternate translation: [if the Lord wills] or [given that this is what the Lord allows me to do]
