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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

τοῦ Θεοῦ & προβλεψαμένου

¬the ˱of˲_God & /having/_foreseen

Here, the phrase God having provided introduces an idea that contrasts with what the author said in the previous verse (11:39) about how the faithful people did not “receive the promise.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: [but God has provided]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

περὶ ἡμῶν κρεῖττόν τι

for us better_‹thing› some

Here, the author states that something is better, but he does not specify what it is better than. It is clear from the previous verse (11:39) that the author considers receiving what God promised to be better than only receiving the promise itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify what the author is comparing something better with. Alternate translation: [something better concerning us than the promise that he gave them] or [what he promised to us, which is better than receiving just the promise itself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ χωρὶς ἡμῶν τελειωθῶσιν

not apart_from us ˱they˲_/may_be/_perfected

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who are made perfect rather than on the person doing the perfecting. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [God would not perfect them without us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

μὴ χωρὶς ἡμῶν τελειωθῶσιν

not apart_from us ˱they˲_/may_be/_perfected

The phrases without us and not be made perfect together use two negative words to emphasize that they and us need to be together to be made perfect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with positive words, emphasizing the importance of they and us together. Alternate translation: [they would be made perfect only with us]
