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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦτο

this

The word this refers to what Paul has said in 2:2–3 about the Messiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could summarize what Paul has said instead of using this. Alternate translation: “these things about the Messiah”

μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς παραλογίζηται

no_one you_all /may_be/_deluding

Alternate translation: “people cannot deceive you” or “no one will mislead you”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

πιθανολογίᾳ

persuade_speech

The phrase persuasive speech refers to arguments that appear plausible. The phrase itself does not suggest that the arguments are true or false, but the context here suggests that the arguments are false even though they sound believable. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or a short phrase that expresses this idea. Alternate translation: “plausible arguments” or “fine-sounding arguments”
