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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

τοῦ δόντος ἑαυτὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, ὅπως ἐξέληται ἡμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος πονηροῦ

the_‹one› /having/_given himself concerning the sins ˱of˲_us so_that ˱he˲_/may/_rescue us out_of the age ¬which /having/_presented evil

The phrase the one having given himself for our sins so that he might deliver us from the present evil age gives us further information about “our Lord Jesus Christ” mentioned at the end of 1:3. It is not making a distinction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the relationship between these phrases clearer. Alternate translation: [who is the one having given himself for our sins so that he might deliver us from the present evil age]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν

concerning the sins ˱of˲_us

Here, sins figuratively refers to the punishment for sin. The phrase for our sins refers to Christ giving his life as a substitution for the punishment that our sins deserve. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [to take the punishment we deserve because of our sins] or [to take the punishment for our sins]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν & ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us & ˱of˲_us

Both uses of our in this verse are inclusive. See the note on our in 1:3.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν

the sins ˱of˲_us

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sins, you could express the same idea with an adjective such as “sinful,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language.

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ὅπως

so_that

The phrase so that introduces a purpose clause. Paul is stating the purpose for which Christ gave himself for our sins. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: [in order that]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος πονηροῦ

out_of the age ¬which /having/_presented evil

Here, the phrase the present evil age refers not only to a time period but also to the sinful attitudes and actions that characterize the present evil age. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from this present time that is dominated by sinfulness] or [from the evil powers at work in the world today]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν

the_‹one› the ¬which ˱of˲_the God and Father ˱of˲_us

The phrase and Father gives further information about our God. It is not making a distinction between God and Father as if they are two separate entities. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the relationship between these words more clear. Alternate translation: [of our God, who is our Father]
