GAL 3:7 Parallel Verse View

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 / abstractnouns

οἱ ἐκ πίστεως

the_‹ones› of faith

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “trust,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [those who believe]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ ἐκ πίστεως

the_‹ones› of faith

Your language may require you to state the object of faith. Here, the phrase by faith is probably a shortened way of saying “who by faith in Christ are trusting God to consider them righteous” or “who are trusting God to consider them righteous because they believe in Christ.” Here, the phrase by faith is equivalent or similar in meaning to the phrase “by faith in Christ” in [2:16](../02/16.md), where it occurs in the phrase “we also believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the meaning explicitly here. Alternate translation: [the ones who by faith in Christ are trusting God to consider them righteous] or [the ones who are trusting God to consider them righteous because they believe in Christ]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

υἱοί & Ἀβραὰμ

˓the˒_sons & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: γινώσκετε ἄρα ὅτι οἱ ἐκ πίστεως οὗτοι υἱοί εἰσιν Ἀβραάμ)

People who have faith in God, as Abraham did, are here spoken of as if they were Abraham’s sons. Paul does not mean that people who have faith in God are Abraham’s biological descendants but, rather, he is saying that they share a spiritual similarity to him because they believe in God. Therefore Paul calls them sons of Abraham. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

υἱοί

˓the˒_sons

Although the term sons is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [children]
