YAC 1:20 Parallel Verse View

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: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

James uses For to introduce the reason why people should not get angry, as he said in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [You should not get angry, because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ὀργὴ & ἀνδρὸς

/the/_wrath & ˱of˲_/a/_human

James is using the term man in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [human anger]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δικαιοσύνην Θεοῦ οὐκ ἐργάζεται

/the/_righteousness ˱of˲_God not /is/_producing

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract noun righteousness by translating the idea behind it with an adjective such as “righteous” or “right.” Alternate translation: [does not fulfill the righteous purposes of God] or [does not accomplish the right things that God wants to do]
