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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces his development of the ideas from the previous verses, especially from [5:20–21](../05/20.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a development, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Further,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

συνεργοῦντες

working_together

Here Paul does not directly state with whom he is working. He could be implying that he works with: (1) God, since God is the subject of the previous sentence. Alternate translation: [working together with God] (2) the Corinthians, since they are the ones whom is “urging.” Alternate translation: [working together with you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

καὶ, παρακαλοῦμεν

also ˱we˲_˓are˒_exhorting

Here and throughout this chapter, we does not include the Corinthians. The first person plural could refer to: (1) Paul and those who work with him. Alternate translation: [we who preach the good news also urge] (2) just Paul. Alternate translation: [I also urge]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

καὶ, παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς

also ˱we˲_˓are˒_exhorting not in vain the grace ¬the ˱of˲_God ˓to˒_receive you_all

Here Paul uses two negative terms, not and in vain, to indicate a positive meaning. If your language does not use two negative words like this, you could instead use one positive term. Alternate translation: [we also urge you to receive the grace of God, so that it has results] or [we also urge you to receive the grace of God, so that it produces its goal]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ

the grace ¬the ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of gracious, you could express the idea by using a verbal phrase such as “act kindly” or an adverb such as “graciously.” Alternate translation: [how God acts kindly] or [how God acts graciously]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς κενὸν

in vain

Here, in vain identifies a cause that does not have its intended effect. In this case, receiving the grace of God will not lead to salvation if the Corinthians do not persevere in living as those who have received the grace of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you use a word or phrase that identifies a cause that does not have its intended effect. Alternate translation: [for nothing] or [to no purpose]
