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 / abstractnouns

σὺ πίστιν ἣν ἔχεις

you /the/_faith which /are/_having

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [The things that you yourself believe]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σὺ πίστιν ἣν ἔχεις

you /the/_faith which /are/_having

Here, faith refers to what Christians believe that God permits them to do, as mentioned in 14:1–6. If it might be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [The beliefs that your yourself have about what God permits you do to]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σὺ & ἔχεις & σεαυτὸν

you & /are/_having & yourself

Even though Paul is writing to a group of people, you and yourself here are singular. If the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural form of you in your translation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατὰ σεαυτὸν ἔχε ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

to yourself /be/_having before ¬the God

This clause refers to keeping one’s beliefs between oneself and God, rather than telling other people about them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [keep it between yourself and God] or [keep it between you and God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

before ¬the God

Here Paul speaks of people keeping what they believe before God as if they were standing in front of God. Paul means that people should keep private their beliefs about what God permits them to do, as if God is the only one who knows about those beliefs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and God]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ μὴ κρίνων ἑαυτὸν

the_‹one› not judging himself

Here, judge refers to feeling guilty or condemning oneself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [is the one who does not feel guilty]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἑαυτὸν ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει

himself in what ˱he˲_/is/_approving

Although the terms himself and he are masculine, Paul is using the words here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [oneself in what one approves]

ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει

in what ˱he˲_/is/_approving

Alternate translation: [with respect to what he approves] or [in regard to what he approves]
