GAL 5:4 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: writing-pronouns

κατηργήθητε ἀπὸ Χριστοῦ, οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε

˱you_all˲_˓were˒_released from Christ whoever in ˓the˒_law ˓are_being˒_justified

You here refers to whoever is being justified by the law. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this more explicit. Alternate translation: [You who are being justified by the law were cut off from Christ]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κατηργήθητε & δικαιοῦσθε

˱you_all˲_˓were˒_released & ˓are_being˒_justified

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: [You cut yourselves off … is justifying oneself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κατηργήθητε ἀπὸ Χριστοῦ

˱you_all˲_˓were˒_released from Christ

Here, cut off refers to being separated from Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You have ended your relationship with Christ] or [You are separated from Christ]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἵτινες ἐν νόμῳ δικαιοῦσθε

whoever in ˓the˒_law ˓are_being˒_justified

Paul implies that these people were trying to be justified by obeying the law, which is impossible. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [whoever attempts to be justified by obeying the law]

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

νόμῳ

˓the˒_law

See how you translated law in the previous verse.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς χάριτος ἐξεπέσατε

˱from˲_the grace ˱you_all˲_fell_from

Here Paul speaks of grace as if it were something that a person could fall away from. He means that people who are trying to save themselves by obeying the law do not receive God’s grace. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you have rejected the grace of God] or [God will no longer be gracious to you]
