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.

4:21-31 Paul now returns to arguing from Scripture, using the contrast between Hagar and Sarah and between their children. Paul argues for a similar contrast between those who are slaves under the law and those who are free in Christ.
• Paul’s argument uses the allegorical techniques of rabbinic Judaism (see study note on 4:24). Having been trained as a rabbi (Acts 22:3), Paul could out-argue the Judaizers using their own methods.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δέ
and
Here, Paul uses the word Now to indicate that what he writes next is connected to what he wrote immediately before this and that he is continuing his line of thought. Use a natural form in your language to indicate that what follows is in continuity with what precedes it. Alternate translation: [And]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὑμεῖς & ἀδελφοί, κατὰ Ἰσαὰκ, ἐπαγγελίας τέκνα ἐστέ
you_all & brothers as Isaac ˱of˲_promise children are
The point of this comparison is that the Galatian believers (who are referred to as brothers) are like Isaac because both Isaac and the Galatians are children of promise, meaning that they both owe their birth to God’s supernatural working. Isaac’s physical birth came about as a result of God’s supernatural intervention, and the Galatian believers spiritual birth came about as a result of God’s supernatural intervention. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent comparison or express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my fellow believers, you are similar to Isaac in that God miraculously intervened for both you and him in order to fulfill his promise to Abraham]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμεῖς
you_all
Here, the pronoun you is plural. Your language may require you to mark such forms.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀδελφοί
brothers
See how you translated the word brothers in [1:2](../01/02.md) where it is used with the same meaning. Alternate translation: [brothers and sisters]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐπαγγελίας τέκνα
˱of˲_promise children
Here, children could be a metaphor which means that the Galatian believers are: (1) God’s spiritual descendants. If it would help your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God’s spiritual descendants] or [God’s children] (2) Abraham’s spiritual descendants. If it would help your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Abraham’s spiritual descendants] or [Abraham’s children]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἐπαγγελίας τέκνα
˱of˲_promise children
Paul is using the possessive form to describe the source of these children. He means that the children are the children or descendants which God promised to supernaturally give to Abraham, and therefore they are children whose source derives from God fulfillment of his promise to Abraham. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify the relationship for your readers. Alternate translation: [children of God’s promise] or [children of God’s promise to Abraham]
