ROM 11:6 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.

Key: khaki:verbs, light-green:nominative/subject, pink:genitive/possessor, cyan:dative/indirect object.
Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ

Paul is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might misunderstand and think that what John is saying is not certain, then you can translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [since]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

χάριτι

˱by˲_grace

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous verse. Alternate translation: [election is by grace]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

χάριτι & ἔργων & χάρις & χάρις

˱by˲_grace & works & grace & grace

See how you translated grace in 4:16 and works in 9:12.

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

οὐκέτι

no_longer_‹it_is›

Here, it refers to “the election of grace” mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [the election of grace is no longer]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκέτι

no_longer_‹it_is›

Here, no longer indicates the logical conclusion of the preceding clause. It does not imply that election used to be by works. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [it is logically not]
