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: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰσιν πάντες οἱ θησαυροὶ τῆς σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως ἀπόκρυφοι

are all the treasures ¬the ˱of˲_wisdom and ˱of˲_knowledge secret

If your language does not use this form, you could express the idea in active form, with God as the subject. Alternate translation: “God has hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν ᾧ εἰσιν πάντες οἱ θησαυροὶ & ἀπόκρυφοι

in whom are all the treasures & secret

Paul here speaks of the Messiah as if he were a container that could “hide” treasures. He speaks this way to emphasize the value of what Christians receive from God when they are united to the Messiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “from whom all the blessings … can be received”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

εἰσιν πάντες οἱ θησαυροὶ τῆς σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως ἀπόκρυφοι

are all the treasures ¬the ˱of˲_wisdom and ˱of˲_knowledge secret

Paul here uses the possessive form to explain what the treasures are: wisdom and knowledge. If your language does not use this form to express that idea, you could clarify that wisdom and knowledge are the treasures. Alternate translation: “are hidden all the treasures, which are wisdom and knowledge,” or “are all God’s wisdom and knowledge, which are like a treasure that has been hidden”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως

¬the ˱of˲_wisdom and ˱of˲_knowledge

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas behind wisdom and knowledge, you could express the ideas behind these abstract nouns with adjectives such as “wise” and “knowledgeable.” Alternate translation: “of wise and knowledgeable thinking”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τῆς σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως

¬the ˱of˲_wisdom and ˱of˲_knowledge

The words wisdom and knowledge mean very similar things. The repetition is used to emphasize the breadth of spiritual wisdom. If your language does not use repetition in this way or has only one word for this concept, you could use just one word or translate wisdom as an adjective such as “wise.” Alternate translation: “of wisdom” or “of knowledge” or “of wise knowledge”
