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:

ἀσπάσασθε

greet

As was customary in this culture, Paul not only extends greetings from people who are with him and who know the people to whom he is writing (as he has done in 4:10–14). He also asks the Colossians to extend greetings for him to other people that both he and the Colossians know. Your language may have a particular way of sharing greetings in a letter. If so, you could use that form here. Alternate translation: [Remember me to] or [Say hello for me to]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς & ἀδελφοὺς

the & brothers

The word brothers does not refer to only male people. Instead, it refers to both men and women who are part of the group of believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea with a word that does not refer to natural gender or you could use both male and female genders. Alternate translation: [the brothers and sisters]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Νύμφαν

Nympha

Nympha is the name of a woman.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατ’ οἶκον αὐτῆς

in /the/_house (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἀδελφοὺς καὶ Νύμφαν καὶ τὴν κατʼ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίαν)

The phrase in her house is a way to indicate that the church used Nympha’s house as their meeting place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [that gathers in her house]
