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 / explicit

εὐηγγελίσατο εἰρήνην

˱he˲_gospel_preached peace

Paul tells the Ephesians that Gentile believers are also now just as much a part of God’s people as are Jewish believers. The Jewish apostles and prophets are theirs, as is Christ, and they all form a temple for God in the Spirit. Alternate translation: [and announced the gospel of peace] or [declaring the gospel of peace]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑμῖν τοῖς μακρὰν

˱to˲_you_all who_‹were› far

Paul pictures the Gentiles (non-Jews), who were not part of God’s people, as though they were physically distant from God.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῖς ἐγγύς

who_‹were› ˱to˲_the_‹ones› near

Paul pictures the Jews, who were God’s people by birth, as though they were physically close to God.
