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 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

πᾶς & οἶκος κατασκευάζεται ὑπό τινος

every & house /is_being/_prepared by someone

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 house that is built rather than on the person doing the building. Alternate translation: “someone built every house”

πᾶς & οἶκος

every & house

Here, just as in 3:3, the author uses the word house plainly to refer to a building or structure. He wants his readers to apply what is true about a house (the building) to the “house” (the people). If you used a different word for “house” in the previous verses, make sure that your readers know that here the author is drawing a comparison between people and houses. Alternate translation: “every structure”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ & πάντα κατασκευάσας

the_‹one› & all_‹things› /having/_prepared_‹is›

Here the author speaks as if everything that God created were a house that God built. He speaks in this way to connect God’s act of creation with the “house” and “building” language. Use the same word or phrase here that you used for built earlier in the verse. If necessary, you could express the idea with an analogy. Alternate translation: “the one who was like a builder when he created all things”
