Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an example that explains what Jesus has just said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an example, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [For example,] or [Here is what I mean:]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃς & ἂν ποτίσῃ ὑμᾶς ποτήριον ὕδατος

whoever & if /may/_give_to_drink you_all /a/_cup ˱of˲_water

Jesus speaks about giving someone a cup of water to drink as an example of one small way in which a person can help another person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate that this is an example, or you could use a more general expression. Alternate translation: [whoever, for example, gives you a cup of water] or [whoever helps you in any way]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμᾶς & ἐστε & ὑμῖν

you_all & ˱you_all˲_are & ˱to˲_you_all

Because Jesus is talking to his disciples, the word you throughout this verse is plural.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ὀνόματι, ὅτι

in /my/_name because

Here, the phrase in the name that introduces the reason or basis for something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [on the ground that] or [since]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

Χριστοῦ ἐστε

˱of˲_/the/_Messiah ˱you_all˲_are

Jesus is speaking about himself in the third person. If this would not be natural in your language, you could use the first-person form. Alternate translation: [you belong to me, Christ]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσῃ

by_no_means not ˱he˲_/may/_lose

Jesus is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative phrase, certainly not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning, lose. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: [he will most certainly receive]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσῃ τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ

by_no_means not ˱he˲_/may/_lose the reward ˱of˲_him

Although the pronouns he and his are masculine, they are being used here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [that person will certainly not lose his or her reward]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: [by no means]
