Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

2:12 obeying God (see John 3:36; Rom 1:5): Believers must reckon with God’s judgment like everyone else (cp. 1 Cor 3:10-13), so they must live before him obediently, with deep reverence and fear.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
ὥστε
so_then
The phrase So then shows that what follows it is the desired result of what preceded it in 2:5–11. Use the most natural form in your language to show this relationship. Alternate translation: “Therefore”
ἀγαπητοί μου
beloved ˱of˲_me
Here, the word beloved refers to the believers in Philippi. Paul uses this word to express how much he loves them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent phrase in your language that expresses love and affection. Alternate translation: “my dear fellow believers”
ὡς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ μου
as in the presence ˱of˲_me
Alternate translation: “when I was present with you”
ἐν τῇ ἀπουσίᾳ μου
in the in the absence ˱of˲_me
Alternate translation: “when I am not there with you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν κατεργάζεσθε
with fear and trembling the ˱of˲_yourselves salvation /be/_producing
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you can express the idea behind the abstract noun salvation by using a verbal form of this word or expressing it in some other way which describes God’s saving work. Alternate translation: “with fear and trembling, continue to work hard to do that which is proper for those whom God saves” or “with awe and reverence for God, work to do good things, as those whom God has saved”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου
with fear and trembling
Paul uses the words fear and trembling together to show the attitude of reverence that people should have for God. Consider the best way to express this idea in your language. These words have very similar meanings, so you can express them as one idea or translate them as two separate expressions. Alternate translation: “with awe and reverence for God” or “with deep reverence”
