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.

5:4 The speech of God’s people is to be characterized by thankfulness to God (see 4:29; 5:3, 12).
ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία
but rather thanksgiving
The word thanksgiving is a verbal noun, and can be translated with a verb: “instead of those things, you should thank God”
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον
but rather
The connecting phrase but instead introduces a contrast relationship. Sinful acts and thoughts are in contrast to thanksgiving to God. Use a connecting word that indicates a contrast in your language.
