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: translate-textvariants

τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν

¬the redemption

Some later manuscripts add “through his blood” after redemption. Most likely, “through his blood” was accidentally added because of how similar this verse is to Ephesians 1:7, which does include “through his blood.” Most likely, you should not include “through his blood” in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν

˱we˲_/are/_having ¬the redemption

Here, the word redemption does not refer to a payment or to the act of redeeming. Instead, it refers to the result of the act of redeeming. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word such as “freedom” to express this idea. Alternate translation: “we have freedom”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν, τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν

˱we˲_/are/_having ¬the redemption the forgiveness ¬the ˱of˲_sins

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas behind redemption and forgiveness, you could express the idea by using verbs. Alternate translation: “God has redeemed us; that is, he has forgiven our sins”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν

¬the the forgiveness ¬the ˱of˲_sins

Here, Paul uses the possessive form to indicate that the forgiveness concerns sins. If your language does not use this form to express that idea, you could use a verb for forgiveness and make sins its object or complement. If you use the following alternate translation, you may need to replace the comma before it with a semicolon. Alternate translation: “that is, God has forgiven us for our sins”
