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.

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [May we always praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ]

Note 2 topic: translate-blessing

εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

blessed_‹is› the God and Father ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

After blessing the recipients of his letter, Paul adds a blessing to God. If your people would consider it strange for people to bless God, then translate it as praise, since that is what we do when we bless God. Alternate translation: [May we always praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ]

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὁ Πατὴρ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν καὶ Θεὸς πάσης παρακλήσεως

πάσης παρακλήσεως

˱of˲_all comfort

Here, all could refer to: (1) time. Alternate translation: [who always comforts his people] (2) quantity. Alternate translation: [from whom every instance of comforting comes]
