1COR 2:5 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 / idiom

ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν, μὴ ᾖ ἐν σοφίᾳ ἀνθρώπων, ἀλλ’ ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ

the faith ˱of˲_you_all not may_be in wisdom ˱of˲_humans but in /the/_power ˱of˲_God

Here, when someone has faith that is in something, the word in signals what the faith is based on. Unlike in many other cases, in does not introduce what it is that people trust. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of this phrase by translating in with a word or phrase that indicates the basis of the faith. Alternate translation: [your faith might not be based on the wisdom of men but be based on the power of God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν, μὴ ᾖ

the faith ˱of˲_you_all not may_be

If you cannot use this form in your language, you could express the idea in active form by translating faith with a verb such as “trust” or “believe.” Alternate translation: [you might believe not]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

σοφίᾳ ἀνθρώπων

wisdom ˱of˲_humans

Here Paul uses the possessive form to describe what men think is wisdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this form by translating men with an adjective such as “human.” Alternate translation: [in human wisdom]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

˱of˲_humans

Although men is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to anyone, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express men with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [of people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

δυνάμει Θεοῦ

/the/_power ˱of˲_God

Here Paul uses the possessive form to speak of power that God has and shows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the meaning of this phrase by translating power as a verb or adverb with God as the subject. Alternate translation: [God working powerfully]
