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.

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-logic-result
διὸ καὶ
therefore also
Here, the phrase And therefore introduces an inference or conclusion based on what Paul has already said, particularly in [5:6–8](../05/06.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or conclusion based on what has been said. Alternate translation: [Because of that,] or [And so]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἴτε ἐνδημοῦντες εἴτε ἐκδημοῦντες
whether being_at_home or being_absent
Here Paul could be referring to how people are at home or away from: (1) the Lord. Alternate translation: [whether being at home with the Lord or being away from him] (2) this body. Alternate translation: [whether being at home in this body or being away from it]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
εἴτε ἐνδημοῦντες εἴτε ἐκδημοῦντες
whether being_at_home or being_absent
Here Paul continues to refer to a building in which a person could be at home. Express the idea as you did in [5:6](../05/06.md), 8. Make sure that your translation matches or fits with what you chose in the previous note about whether Paul implies “body” or “Lord” here. Alternate translation: [whether being in the body as if it were a home or out of the body] or [whether being present or being absent]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῷ
˱to˲_him
Here, the word him refers to the Lord, that is, Jesus, whom Paul mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit what the pronoun refers to. Alternate translation: [to the Lord]
