ROM 3:29 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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἢ

Or here indicates that the next two sentences are the responses that a Jew might have to what Paul said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Or you Jews might say”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐχὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν? ναὶ, καὶ ἐθνῶν

not also ˱of˲_pagans yes also ˱of˲_pagans

Paul is leaving out some of the words that these sentences 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: “Is he not also God of Gentiles? Yes, he is also God of Gentiles”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐθνῶν & ἐθνῶν

˱of˲_pagans & ˱of˲_pagans

See how you translated Gentiles in 1:5.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

Ἰουδαίων ὁ Θεὸς μόνον? οὐχὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν?

˱of˲_Jews_‹is_he› the God only not also ˱of˲_pagans

Paul is not asking for information, but is using these two questions here to express the responses that a Jew might have to what Paul said in the previous verse. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “God is surely not only the God of Jews! He is surely also the God of Gentiles!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ναὶ, καὶ ἐθνῶν

yes also ˱of˲_pagans

In this sentence Paul responds to the rhetorical questions in the previous two sentences. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I would respond by saying, ‘Yes, also of Gentiles’”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ναὶ

yes

Yes is an exclamation that communicates enthusiasm. Use an exclamation that is natural in your language for communicating enthusiasm. Alternate translation (change the period to an exclamation point): “Of course!”
