PHP 3:13 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:

ἀδελφοί

brothers

See how you translated the word Brothers in Philippians 1:12 and 3:1.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἐγὼ ἐμαυτὸν οὐ λογίζομαι κατειληφέναι

I myself not /am/_reckoning /to_have/_grasped_‹it›

Paul does not explicitly state what it is that he has not yet grasped. He is probably referring to becoming perfectly like Jesus and to fully knowing Jesus. You may choose to state this in your translation, as the UST does, or you may leave it ambiguous, as the ULT does.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἓν δέ

one_‹thing› but_‹I_do›

In the phrase But one thing, Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be clearer in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “But take note of this one thing”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ μὲν ὀπίσω ἐπιλανθανόμενος, τοῖς δὲ ἔμπροσθεν ἐπεκτεινόμενος

the_‹things› on_one_hand behind forgetting ˱to˲_the_‹things› on_the_other_hand ahead stretching_out

In the phrase forgetting what is behind and straining for what is ahead, Paul is using the imagery of a person who is in a race to win a prize. Paul portrays himself as a runner in this metaphor, and he continues using this metaphor until the end of Philippians 3:14. If this metaphor is unfamiliar in your culture, consider using another metaphor that would be familiar to your readers, or you may state this in plain language, as the UST does. Alternate translation: “like a runner, I forget what is behind me and put all of my effort into running toward the finish line in front of me” or “like a runner, I have one focus, and therefore I do not look backward as I run, but only look forward as I strain with all my might so that I will reach the finish line”
