ROM 14:8 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 as a tool 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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows in this verse explains what Paul said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [In fact,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ζῶμεν & ζῶμεν & ἀποθνῄσκωμεν & ἀποθνῄσκομεν & ζῶμεν & ἀποθνῄσκωμεν & ἐσμέν

˱we˲_˓may_be˒_living & ˱we˲_˓are˒_living & ˱we˲_˓may_be˒_dying_off & ˱we˲_˓are˒_dying_off & ˱we˲_˓may_be˒_living & ˱we˲_˓may_be˒_dying_off & ˱we˲_are

In this verse we refers to Paul and his Christian readers, so we would be inclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence -1) τῷ Κυρίῳ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀποθνῄσκομεν ἐάν τε οὖν ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν τοῦ Κυρίου ἐσμέν)

Here, for the Lord means to do something only to benefit the Lord. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [for the benefit of the Lord … for the benefit of the Lord]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

The word Therefore indicates that what follows is a logical conclusion. Therefore here indicates that what follows is the logical conclusion to what Paul has stated in [14:14–20](../14/14.md). Use a natural way in your language for indicating result. Alternate translation: [As a result]
