ROM 7:19 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

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it introduces an explanation of what Paul said in the last sentence of the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [In fact,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀγαθόν & κακὸν

good & /the/_evil

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of good and evil, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [good deeds … evil deeds]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὃ θέλω & ἀγαθόν & ὃ οὐ θέλω κακὸν

what ˱I˲_/am/_wanting & good & what not ˱I˲_/am/_wanting /the/_evil

Paul is leaving out some of the words that these clauses would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [the good I want to do … the evil I do not want to do]
