Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:13–25: God considers/calls people righteous who believe in Jesus

In this section, Paul showed that God’s promise of blessing to Abraham and his descendants was made because Abraham believed God. God did not promise blessing because Abraham obeyed the law of Moses. Paul then described how Abraham believed and why God called him righteous. Paul then explained that God also calls the people who believe in God (and his Messiah, Jesus) righteous.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

God counts people as righteous through faith, not through the Law Of Moses

God also called us^(incl) righteous because we believe

The lesson/model of God calling Abraham righteous applies to us/believers

4:25a

He was delivered over to death for our trespasses

whom^(sing) God/he handed over to die/death for the sake of the evil deeds that we have done
God gave him to people to take and kill him for our misdeeds

He was delivered over: This clause further describes Jesus. It does not separate this Jesus from other Jesuses. This clause is also passive. Some languages must translate it as an active clause. For example:

God gave Jesus to die (CEV)

God put Jesus in the hands of killers

God handed-Jesus -over to dieKankanaey Back Translation on TW.

delivered over: This verb phrase indicates here that God put Jesus into the hands of certain people so that they would kill him. See the examples above.

for: There are two ways to interpret the Greek word that the BSB translates as for:

It means on account of here. Jesus died for the sake of doing something about our sins. This is the meaning of the English word for here. (BSB, RSV, ESV, NIV, NJB, NABRE, REB, CEV, NCV, KJV)
It means because of here. Jesus died because we sinned. (GNT, NLT, GW, NET, NASB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), because it seems a better fit here.BDAG (page 225), Alford (page 355), and Nicoll (pages 621–622) support interpretation (1). Nicoll says, “He was delivered up on account of our offences—to make atonement for them.” See also the interpretation issue on “for” in 4:25b.

trespasses: The Greek word that the BSB translates as trespasses means “failures” or “errors.” Here it refers to failures to do as God says, implying that there will be consequences for those failures. It is similar in meaning to “sins,” but is more general. Here are other ways to translate trespasses:

offences (KJV)

failures (GW)

misdeeds (REB)

In some languages one term is used for both “failures” and “sins.” If that is true in your language, use that term here.

4:25b

and was raised to life for our justification.

and raised him for the sake of making us right with him.
and caused him to live again after he was dead for the sake of calling us righteous/upright.

was raised: Some languages must translate the phrase was raised as an active clause. For example:

whom he/God raised

he/God raised

for: There are three ways to interpret the Greek word that the BSB translates as for:

It means on account of here. Jesus was raised to life for the sake of justifying us. This is the meaning of the English word for here. (BSB, RSV, ESV, NIV, NJB, NABRE, NET, REB, KJV)
It means so that here. Jesus was raise for the purpose of justifying us. (GNT, NLT, GW, CEV, NCV)
It means because of here. Jesus was raised because we were justified. (NASB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).BDAG (page 225), Alford (page 355), and Nicoll (pages 621–622) support interpretation (1). Nicoll says, “he was raised on account of our justification—that it might become an accomplished fact.” See also the interpretation issue on “for” in 4:25a. Interpretation (2) is very similar in meaning to interpretation (1), but the Greek lexicons do not say that the Greek word introduces purpose. Interpretation (3) indicates an incorrect relationship between the two events.Nicoll (page 621) says, “it is impossible to believe that (Paul) would have written—as this interpretation requires him to do—that we were justified by Christ’s death, and that Christ was therefore raised from the dead by God.”

our justification: The word justification indicates that God decides that a person is acceptable to him. When people believe that Jesus died for their sins, God forgives them, accepts them, and considers them as righteous. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

putting us right with God

making us right in his sight

receiving God’s approval

declaring us righteous

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ὃς & ἡμῶν & τὴν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅς παρεδόθη διά τά παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καί ἠγέρθη διά τήν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν)

Here the pronoun who refers to Jesus, and our refers to all “those who believe” in him, as mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Jesus … we believers’ … the justification of us believers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὃς παρεδόθη & ἠγέρθη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅς παρεδόθη διά τά παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καί ἠγέρθη διά τήν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν)

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, Paul implies that “God” did it. Alternate translation: [whom God gave up … God raised]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὃς παρεδόθη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅς παρεδόθη διά τά παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καί ἠγέρθη διά τήν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν)

Paul speaks of Jesus as if he were a thing that could be given up to another person. Paul means that God allowed people to arrest and kill Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [who was allowed to be killed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ τὰ παραπτώματα ἡμῶν & διὰ τὴν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅς παρεδόθη διά τά παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καί ἠγέρθη διά τήν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for these ideas of trespasses and justification, you could express the same ideas with verbal forms. Alternate translation: [because we trespassed … to make us righteous]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὰ τὰ παραπτώματα ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅς παρεδόθη διά τά παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καί ἠγέρθη διά τήν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν)

Here Paul uses for the sake of differently than he did in [4:23–24](../04/23.md). Here Paul uses this phrase to indicate the reason why Jesus was given up. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [because of our trespasses]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἠγέρθη

˓was˒_raised

See how you translated raised in the previous verse.

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

διὰ τὴν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅς παρεδόθη διά τά παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καί ἠγέρθη διά τήν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν)

Here Paul uses for the sake of differently than he did in the first part of this verse. Here Paul uses this phrase to indicate one of the purposes for Jesus being raised. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [for the purpose of our justification]
