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: grammar-connect-logic-result

ταπεινώθητε ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ὑψώσει ὑμᾶς

˓be˒_humbled before ˓the˒_Lord and ˱he˲_˓will_be˒_exalting you_all

James is using the word translated and to describe a result. Alternate translation: [If you are humbled before the Lord, then he will lift you up]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ταπεινώθητε

˓be˒_humbled

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [Humble yourselves]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐνώπιον Κυρίου

before ˓the˒_Lord

The word before means “in front of” or “in the presence of” another person. While in one sense God is present everywhere, the believers to whom James is writing are not in the direct physical presence of God, so he likely means this expression in a figurative sense. He is referring to the attitude they should have towards God. Alternate translation: [in your attitude towards God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑψώσει ὑμᾶς

˱he˲_˓will_be˒_exalting you_all

James is speaking as if his readers would humbly kneel down or bow down in front of God to show their repentance and as if God would have them stand up to show that he accepted them. Alternate translation: [he will show that he accepts you]
