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 / metaphor

ἐκκλινάτω & ἀπὸ κακοῦ

˱him˲_/let/_turn_away & from evil

Here, turn away from is a metaphor that means to avoid doing something. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [let him avoid doing evil]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ζητησάτω εἰρήνην καὶ διωξάτω αὐτήν

˱him˲_/let/_seek peace and ˱him˲_/let/_pursue it

If your language does not use repetition to do this, you can use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Let him earnestly pursue peace]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζητησάτω εἰρήνην

˱him˲_/let/_seek peace

Here, peace refers to peaceful relationships between people. If it might be helpful to your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Let him seek to live peacefully with others]
