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 as a tool 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 / hyperbole

πάντοτε

always

Here, always is an exaggeration that the Corinthians would have understood to emphasize how often Paul prays for the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express always with a word that indicates frequency. Alternate translation: [consistently] or [frequently]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

τῷ Θεῷ μου

˱to˲_the God ˱of˲_me

When Paul speaks of my God, he does not mean that this is a different God than the one the Corinthians believe in. Rather, he simply wishes to state that this God is his God. If my God in your translation sounds like it makes a distinction between Paul’s God and the Corinthians’ God, you could use a plural pronoun. Alternate translation: [to our God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῇ δοθείσῃ

the ¬which ˓having_been˒_given

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 the grace that was given rather than the person doing the “giving.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: [that he gave]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

in Christ Jesus

Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe the union of believers with Christ. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ, could explain: (1) the means by which God has given grace to the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [by means of your union with Christ Jesus] (2) the reason why God has given grace to the Corinthians. Alternate translation: [because of your union with Christ Jesus]
