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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν

as_many_as for of /the/_works ˱of˲_law are

Alternate translation: “All people who follow the law” or “All those who seek to be justified through obeying the law”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅσοι & ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν

as_many_as & of /the/_works ˱of˲_law are

Here, the phrase as many as are of works of the law is probably a shortened way of saying “as many as are relying on works of the law as the basis for God considering them to be righteous.” Here, the phrase as many as are of works of the law is describing people who rely on the works of the law and is in contrast to the phrase “the ones by faith” in 3:7. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “as many as rely on the works of the law as the basis for being righteous before God” or “as many as are relying on works of the law as the basis for God considering them to be righteous” or “as many as are trusting that God will consider them righteous because they try to obey the law of Moses” or “as many as are seeking for God to consider them righteous on the basis of following what the Mosaic Law commands”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐξ ἔργων νόμου

of /the/_works ˱of˲_law

With the phrase of works, Paul is using the possessive form to describe the means by which a person seeks to please God, and by using the phrase of the law, Paul is using the possessive form to define the type of works to which he is referring to. If this is not clear in your language, you could clarify the relationship for your readers. Alternate translation: “trying to earn God’s approval by doing the works prescribed in the law”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

νόμου

˱of˲_law

See how you translated the phrase the law in 2:16.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται & γεγραμμένοις

˱it˲_/has_been/_written & /having_been/_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν

under /a/_curse are

Here, under a curse represents being cursed by God and refers to being condemned by God and therefore being doomed to eternal punishment. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “are cursed by God”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν

under /a/_curse are

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of curse, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “curse,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will curse”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Here, Paul uses the phrase it is written to indicate that what follows is a quotation from the Old Testament. Paul assumes that his readers will understand this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is referring to Scripture. Alternate translation: “it is written in the Scriptures”

Note 8 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τοῦ νόμου

˱of˲_the law

See how you translated the phrase the Law in 2:16. Alternate translation: “of God’s Laws”
