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 / explicit

οὔπω & ἀντικατέστητε

not_yet & ˱you_all˲_stood_against

The author does not state explicitly what they have resisted. The rest of the verse implies that it is sin, which probably includes both their own sinful deeds and the sinful acts of others that injure the audience. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what they have resisted against clearer. Alternate translation: [You have not yet resisted sin] or [You have not yet resisted sinners]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

μέχρις αἵματος

unto blood

The author is referring to death by association with the way that someone might shed their blood when they dies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to the point of death] or [so that you have died]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

ἀνταγωνιζόμενοι

struggling

The word struggling introduces how the audience have resisted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this relationship more explicit. Alternate translation: [as you struggle] or [while you are struggling]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

πρὸς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἀνταγωνιζόμενοι

against ¬the sin struggling

The author speaks of sin as if it were an opponent that the audience was fighting against. The author speaks in this way to indicate how serious and dangerous resisting sin is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or plain language. Alternate translation: [struggling against sin as if it were an enemy] or [striving against sin]
