MAT 6:21 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

γάρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the disciples should store up treasure in heaven (see 6:20). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should store up treasure in heaven because” or “I say that because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὅπου & ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρός σου, ἐκεῖ ἔσται καὶ ἡ καρδία σου

where & is the treasure ˱of˲_you there will_be also the heart ˱of˲_you

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these two clauses. Alternate translation: “your heart will be where your treasure is”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκεῖ ἔσται καὶ ἡ καρδία σου

there will_be also the heart ˱of˲_you

Here Jesus speaks as if a person’s heart could be somewhere besides in the person’s body. He means that the person’s heart will be focused on that place and what is in that place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “there will your heart be focused” or “there will your heart be directed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἡ καρδία σου

the heart ˱of˲_you

In Matthew’s culture, the heart is the place where humans think and feel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate heart by referring to the place where humans think and feel in your culture or by expressing the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “your desires” or “your attention”
