GAL 6:7 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 / activepassive

μὴ πλανᾶσθε, Θεὸς οὐ μυκτηρίζεται

not ˓be_being˒_misled God not ˓is_being˒_snubbed

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: [Do not deceive yourselves. No one can mock God]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, for indicates that what follows is a reason why God is not mocked. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [due to the fact that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωπος, τοῦτο καὶ θερίσει

˓a˒_person this also ˱he˲_˓will_be˒_reaping

Although man and he are masculine, Paul is using the words here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [a person … that thing the person will also reap]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὃ & ἐὰν σπείρῃ ἄνθρωπος, τοῦτο καὶ θερίσει

whatever_‹thing› & ¬if ˓may_be˒_sowing ˓a˒_person this also ˱he˲_˓will_be˒_reaping

Here, sow refers to doing things that will have consequences, and reap represents experiencing those consequences. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [just as a farmer gathers in the fruit of the plants he grew from seed, so everyone experiences the results of whatever they do] or [everyone receives the results of whatever they have done]
