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.

5.2 Si circumcidamini. Circumcisio et cætera legalia ita natis et institutis non sunt noxia, licet non necessaria, magis noxium erat prohibere quasi noxia. Gentiles vero ad talia non sunt cogendi. Sed si nolunt eis congruere, ut Timotheus, non sunt prohibendi, sed si in his confidunt, sunt perditi; licet his ergo illa tenere ne videantur improbata potius quam terminata. Gentibus vero non sunt imponenda, ne videantur aut non causa promittenti Christi, instituta, aut adhuc promittere, sed cessando jam patent signa futuri fuisse, quæ cum honore paulatim deserendo erant sepelienda, non ut sacrilegia gentium fugienda.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἴδε

behold

Paul uses the term Behold to focus his audience’s attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Understand this!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε

if ˱you_all˲_/may_be_being/_circumcised

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. Alternate translation: [if someone circumcises you] or [if you receive circumcision]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει.

Christ you_all nothing /will_be/_benefiting

In this clause Paul means that if a person is circumcised in order to complete their salvation, then what Christ has done to provide salvation for them will not help them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [what Christ has done will not benefit you at all]
