5:5 και ¦ — CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
5:1-10 The prospect of eternal hope is bright, with heavenly bodies replacing the dying bodies of this present life. The God of resurrection will also raise us and present us to himself with all believers (4:14). The immediate stimulus for this statement of resurrection hope was what Paul had to face in Ephesus (1:8-11). The frailty of his body reminded him of what lies beyond death, when this earthly tent we live in—that is, our body—will be taken down in death and dissolution (see 1 Cor 15:42-57; Phil 3:20-21).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
and
Here, the word Now introduces development of the ideas from the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the development, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Further,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κατεργασάμενος ἡμᾶς
/having/_prepared us
Here, the phrase having prepared could refer to how God: (1) has acted in believers’ lives to get them ready for resurrection and new life. Alternate translation: [having gotten us ready] (2) created believers when they first began to live. Alternate translation: [having created] or [having made us]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτὸ τοῦτο
same_‹purpose› this
Here, the phrase this very thing refers back to what Paul said in the previous verse about receiving a new body in place of the one that people have now (See: 5:4). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what the phrase refers to more explicit. Alternate translation: [receiving resurrection bodies] or [this new life]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
ὁ δοὺς
the_‹one› the_‹one› /having/_given
Here Paul is adding more information about God. He is not distinguishing between different gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that clearly adds information instead of distinguishing between people. Alternate translation: [and he has given]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ Πνεύματος
the deposit ˱of˲_the Spirit
Here, Paul is speaking of the Spirit as if he were a down payment, that is, a partial payment for a purchase with a promise to pay the rest of the amount on a future date. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in 1:22. Alternate translation: [a guarantee, which is the Spirit, that he will also give us eternal life]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ Πνεύματος
the deposit ˱of˲_the Spirit
Here Paul uses the possessive form to the down payment as the Spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the Spirit as a down payment] or [the down payment that is the Spirit]
