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

ὥστε

so_that

Here, the phrase So then introduces a conclusion or inference based on the words Jesus has just quoted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a conclusion or inference. Alternate translation: [Because of that] or [As you can see]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο, ἀλλὰ σὰρξ μία

no_longer ˱they˲_are two but flesh one

Here Jesus repeats in different form the words from the figure of speech at the end of the previous verse (see 19:5). He means that a husband and wife are so closely joined that it is as if they had one flesh or one body between them. Express the idea as you did in 19:5. Alternate translation: [it is as if they are no longer two, but they are like one flesh] or [they are no longer two separate people, but are as closely united as possible]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces a conclusion or inference based on what Jesus has said about marriage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a conclusion or inference. Alternate translation: [Because of that] or [So then]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω

man not /let_be/_separating

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [man should not separate]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωπος

man

Although the term man is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [a person] or [humans]
