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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
οὐκ ἐγράφη & δι’ αὐτὸν μόνον, ὅτι ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ
not ˱it˲_/was/_written & because_of him only that ˱it˲_/was/_reckoned ˱to˲_him
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases and combine them. Alternate translation: “Now the phrase ‘it was credited to him,’ was not written only for his sake”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτὸν & αὐτῷ
him & ˱to˲_him
The pronouns his and him refer to Abraham. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Abraham’s … to him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὐκ ἐγράφη & δι’ αὐτὸν μόνον
not ˱it˲_/was/_written & because_of him only
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Moses wrote the quotation. Alternate translation: “Moses did not write it only for Abraham’s sake”
δι’ αὐτὸν
because_of him
Alternate translation: “for him” or “regarding him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks
ὅτι ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ,
that ˱it˲_/was/_reckoned ˱to˲_him
