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 as a tool 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 / explicit

ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὡς τῷ Κυρίῳ)

Paul assumes that his readers will understand that he is continuing to explain what it means to “be filled with the Spirit” ([Ephesians 5:18](../05/18.md)). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Here Paul says that Christians are to submit themselves to one another. Alternate translation: [yielding to fellow believers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὡς τῷ Κυρίῳ,

¬The wives_‹be› ˱to˲_their own husbands as ˱to˲_the Lord

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [wives, subuitting yourselves to your own husbands, just as you submit yourselves to the Lord]
