TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:7 God’s coming wrath is the judgment for all who reject the gospel. Israel as a nation would experience this wrath in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 (see 21:20-23).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ

/to_be/_baptized by him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “for him to baptize them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγεν οὖν τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ὄχλοις βαπτισθῆναι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ γενήματα ἐχιδνῶν τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς)

The expression Offspring of is an idiom that means a person shares the qualities of something. John is using dangerous poisonous snakes to represent evil. Alternate translation: “You evil people”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγεν οὖν τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ὄχλοις βαπτισθῆναι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ γενήματα ἐχιδνῶν τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς)

If your readers would not recognize the name vipers, which refers to dangerous poisonous snakes, you could state something more general. Alternate translation: “You are evil, like poisonous snakes” or “You are evil, like poisonous animals”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς?

who warned ˱to˲_you_all /to/_flee from the coming wrath

John is making a statement, not asking a question. He does not expect the people in the crowds to tell him who warned them. Instead, he is using the question form to challenge the people to think about what they believe baptism will do for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: “you could not escape from God’s wrath just by being baptized!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς

from the coming wrath

John is using the word wrath to refer to God’s punishment. This is by association with the way that punishment is an expression of God’s wrath or displeasure over sin. Alternate translation: “from the punishment that God is sending”
