ROM 6:21 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.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τίνα & καρπὸν εἴχετε τότε, ἐφ’ οἷς νῦν ἐπαισχύνεσθε? τὸ γὰρ τέλος ἐκείνων θάνατος

what & fruit ˱you_all˲_/were/_having then in which now ˱you_all˲_/are/_being_ashamed the for end ˱of˲_those_‹things› death_‹is›

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these sentences since the second sentence gives the reason for the result that the first sentence describes. Alternate translation: [since the outcome of those things is death, what fruit were you then having because of which things you are now ashamed?]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίνα οὖν καρπὸν εἴχετε τότε, ἐφ’ οἷς νῦν ἐπαισχύνεσθε

what therefore fruit ˱you_all˲_/were/_having then in which now ˱you_all˲_/are/_being_ashamed

Paul is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the futility of being “slaves to sin” 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 in order to communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [So you were not then having any fruit because of which things you are now ashamed!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

καρπὸν

fruit

Here, fruit is an idiom that refers to a benefit or advantage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: [advantage] or [profit]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐφ’ οἷς & ἐκείνων

in which & ˱of˲_those_‹things›

Here, which things and those things refer to sins. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [because of which sins … of those sins]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ γὰρ τέλος ἐκείνων θάνατος

the for end ˱of˲_those_‹things› death_‹is›

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of outcome and death, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [For those things finally result in you dying]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

θάνατος

death_‹is›

Here, death refers to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. See how you translated the same use of death in 6:16.
