Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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 / rquestion

οὐχὶ πάντες εἰσὶν λειτουργικὰ πνεύματα, εἰς διακονίαν ἀποστελλόμενα, διὰ τοὺς μέλλοντας κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν?

not all ˱they˲_are ministering spirits for service /being/_sent_out because_of the_‹ones› going /to_be/_inheriting salvation

The author does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the audience in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “yes, they are.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea with a strong affirmation. Alternate translation: [What is true is that they are all ministering spirits, being sent for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation.]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

εἰσὶν

˱they˲_are

Here, they refers to the “angels” in 1:13. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the “angels” explicitly. Alternate translation: [Are the angels]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀποστελλόμενα

/being/_sent_out

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 the angels who are sent rather than on the person doing the sending. If you must state who does the action, the author implies that God does it. Alternate translation: [those whom God sent]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν

/to_be/_inheriting salvation

Here the author speaks as if believers were children who would receive property that a parent passes on to their child when the parent dies. He speaks in this way to indicate that believers receive salvation from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to receive salvation from God] or [to be given salvation by God]

τοὺς μέλλοντας

the_‹ones› going

Alternate translation: [those who are about] or [those who are destined]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν

/to_be/_inheriting salvation

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “save.” In this case, you may need to find another way to express the idea behind inherit. Alternate translation: [to be saved as a gift from God]
