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.

2:2 του ειδεναι τι ¦ τι ειδεναι CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
2:1-5 God’s sovereign work made Paul’s preaching effective. In his evangelism, Paul did not rely on the persuasive power of his intellect or his dynamic personality, but on the power of the Holy Spirit (see also study note on 1:18-31).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
οὐ & ἔκρινά τι εἰδέναι ἐν ὑμῖν, εἰ μὴ Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν
not & ˱I˲_judged anything ˓to_have˒_known among you_all except ¬not/lest Jesus Christ
Here Paul speaks as if he decides to forget all his knowledge and become ignorant of everything except Jesus Christ. This is an exaggeration that the Corinthians would have understood as emphasis on Paul’s sharp focus on Jesus Christ as the one thing he wished to tell the Corinthians about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this exaggeration with a phrase that indicates that it is an exaggeration or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [I decided to speak among you only about Jesus Christ]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
οὐ & ἔκρινά τι εἰδέναι ἐν ὑμῖν, εἰ μὴ Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν, καὶ τοῦτον ἐσταυρωμένον
not & ˱I˲_judged anything ˓to_have˒_known among you_all except ¬not/lest Jesus Christ and this_‹one› ˓having_been˒_crucified
If it would appear in your language that Paul makes a strong statement about knowing nothing and then contradicts it, you could reword this sentence so that there is no except. Alternate translation: [I decided that among you I would only know Jesus Christ and him crucified]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοῦτον ἐσταυρωμένον
this_‹one› ˓having_been˒_crucified
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 Jesus Christ who was crucified rather than the person doing the “crucifying.” If you must state who does the action, you can express the idea with: (1) Christ as the subject. Alternate translation: [how he laid down his life on the cross] (2) an indefinite or vague subject. Alternate translation: [how they crucified him]
