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:

οἱ ἄνδρες

¬The husbands

Here Paul directly addresses the Husbands in the audience. Use a form in your language that indicates that the speaker is singling out a specific group of people as the intended audience of the following words. Alternate translation: “You husbands”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς γυναῖκας

your wives

Here Paul does not explicitly state that husbands must love “their own” wives. However, Paul writes this sentence in such a way that the Colossians would have understood him to mean this. The ULT includes your because this is an essential part of what Paul is saying. Use a form in your language that specifies that Paul has each husband’s wife in mind. Alternate translation: “your own wives”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

μὴ πικραίνεσθε πρὸς

not /be_being/_embittered toward

The phrase be embittered could refer to: (1) the husband doing or saying things that cause his wife to be bitter or upset with him. Alternate translation: “do not do what makes them bitter against you” (2) the husband becoming bitter or upside with his wife for doing or saying certain things. Alternate translation: “do not become bitter against them”
