ROM 2:8 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 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

ἐξ ἐριθείας

of selfish_ambition

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of ambition, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “from being selfishly ambitious”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

καὶ ἀπειθοῦσι τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, πειθομένοις δὲ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ ὀργὴ καὶ θυμός

and disbelieving ˱in˲_the truth /being/_persuaded but ¬the ˱by˲_unrighteousness wrath and rage_‹be›

These two phrases mean the same thing. Paul uses them to emphasize how sinful these people are. If saying the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you can combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “who are disobedient to all that is true and right”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἀπειθοῦσι τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, πειθομένοις δὲ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ

disbelieving ˱in˲_the truth /being/_persuaded but ¬the ˱by˲_unrighteousness

Here Paul speaks of the truthas if it were a person whom someone could disobey, and he speaks of unrighteousness as if it were a person whom someone could obey. Paul means that by disobeying him these people reject what God says is true and right. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who reject what God says is true and right by disobeying him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ ἀληθείᾳ & τῇ ἀδικίᾳ

˱in˲_the truth & ¬the ˱by˲_unrighteousness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of truth and unrighteousness, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “to what is true … to what is unrighteous”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὀργὴ καὶ θυμός

wrath and rage_‹be›

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 2:6. Alternate translation: “wrath and anger are what God pays back”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὀργὴ

wrath

Here Paul uses wrath to refer to the outcome of God’s wrath, which is judging and punishing people because they are unrighteous. See how you translated the same use of this word in 1:18.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὀργὴ καὶ θυμός

wrath and rage_‹be›

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of wrath and anger, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “God is wrathful and angry”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὀργὴ καὶ θυμός

wrath and rage_‹be›

The words wrath and anger mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them to emphasize God’s intense anger toward people who are disobedient to the truth. If your language does not use repetition in this way, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “fierce wrath” or “angry wrath” or “wrathful anger”
