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 / metaphor

ἀπαλλάξῃ τούτους, ὅσοι φόβῳ θανάτου, διὰ παντὸς τοῦ ζῆν, ἔνοχοι ἦσαν δουλείας

/may/_release these as_many_as ˱by˲_fear ˱of˲_death through all the_‹time› /to_be/_living liable were ˱to˲_slavery

Here the author speaks as if the fear of death were something that could hold people in slavery. Taking away this fear is thus “releasing” those people from slavery. The author speaks in this way to emphasize how controlling and powerful is the fear of death and how Jesus completely takes away the power that this fear can hold. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [might free those people, as many as, in fear of death throughout all their lives, were held tightly] or [might help those people, as many as continually lived in fear of death throughout all their lives]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἀπαλλάξῃ τούτους, ὅσοι φόβῳ θανάτου, διὰ παντὸς τοῦ ζῆν, ἔνοχοι ἦσαν δουλείας

/may/_release these as_many_as ˱by˲_fear ˱of˲_death through all the_‹time› /to_be/_living liable were ˱to˲_slavery

If it would be helpful in your language, you could arrange these elements in a different way. Alternate translation: [might release as many as were held in slavery to fear of death throughout all their lives]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

φόβῳ θανάτου

˱by˲_fear ˱of˲_death

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of fear and death, you could express the ideas by using verbs such as “fear” and “die” or in another natural way. Alternate translation: [by how they fear to die]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἔνοχοι ἦσαν δουλείας

liable were ˱to˲_slavery

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 held in slavery rather than on the person doing the holding. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject, or you could state that the devil did it. Alternate translation: [experienced slavery] or [the devil held in slavery]
