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 / 123person

Παῦλος

Paul

In this culture, letter writers would give their own names first, referring to themselves in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person here. Or if your language has a particular way of introducing the author of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “From Paul. I have been”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κλητὸς ἀπόστολος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ

/a/_called ambassador ˱of˲_Christ Jesus

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on who is called rather than focusing on the person doing the “calling.” Alternate translation: “whom Christ Jesus called to be an apostle”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

διὰ θελήματος Θεοῦ

by /the/_will ˱of˲_God

Here Paul uses the possessive form to describe the will that God has. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind that this phrase refers to what God wills with a verbal phrase. Alternate translation: “because God desired this”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ Σωσθένης

and Sosthenes

This phrase means that Sosthenes is with Paul, and Paul writes the letter for both of them. It does not mean that Sosthenes was the scribe who wrote the letter down. It also does not mean that Sosthenes dictated the letter with Paul, since Paul uses the first-person singular more than the first-person plural in the letter. If there is a way in your language to indicate that Paul writes on behalf of Sosthenes, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “and I write on behalf of Sosthenes”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

Σωσθένης

Sosthenes

Sosthenes is the name of a man.
