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: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς ἀρτιγέννητα βρέφη τὸ λογικὸν ἄδολον γάλα ἐπιποθήσατε

like newborn babies the logical unadulterated milk long

The point of this comparison is that Peter wanted his readers to desire knowledge of God’s word just as newborn babies desire milk. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent comparison or express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Just as babies long for their mother’s milk, so you must long for the pure rational milk”

ἐπιποθήσατε

long

Alternate translation: “desire intensely” or “yearn for”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ λογικὸν ἄδολον γάλα

the logical unadulterated milk

The word translated as rational could also be translated “pertaining to the word”; it refers to the word of God. Peter speaks of the word of God as if it were rational milk that nourishes children. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God’s pure word”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

αὐξηθῆτε

˱you_all˲_/may_be/_grown

Peter speaks of believers advancing in the knowledge of God and faithfulness to him as if they were children growing up. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you may mature in your faith”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς σωτηρίαν

for salvation

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “until you are saved”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς σωτηρίαν

for salvation

Here, salvation refers to when Jesus returns and God completes the salvation of his people. Peter also uses this meaning for salvation in 1:5. See how you translated salvation there. Alternate translation: “until God saves you completely”
