LUKE 1:37 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.

Text critical issues=minor spelling Clarity of original=clear Importance=normal (All still tentative.)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

because

The word For indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the reason for what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “This shows that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ πᾶν ῥῆμα

not /will_be/_unattaining with ¬the God every word

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this double negative as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “God is able to do anything he says”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ πᾶν ῥῆμα

not /will_be/_unattaining with ¬the God every word

Here, the term word could mean: (1) since Mary uses the same term in the next verse to describe the message that Gabriel has brought from God, Gabriel may be using it to mean that message as well. Alternate translation: “God is able to do anything he says” (2) Gabriel may be using the term in a general sense to mean “thing.” Alternate translation: “everything is possible with God”
