This view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation 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.

5. Becoming like Christ in this life (6:1–8:39) * Baptism represents union with Christ’s death (6:1–14) * Christians are now slaves of righteousness (6:15–23) * Christians have been freed from the law (7:1–6) * The law is not sinful (7:7–12) * Christians still struggle with indwelling sin (7:13–25) * The Holy Spirit dwells in Christians (8:1–27) * Christians have confidence in God’s love (8:28–8:39)Some translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. The ULT does this with 8:36. Paul quotes these words from the Old Testament.
In 8:9–17 and 26–27 Paul says that the Holy Spirit dwells inside Christians to help them stop sinning and to intercede for them. The presence of the Holy Spirit within a person indicates that that person is a genuine Christian. (See: save)
Many scholars believe this chapter teaches on a subject known as “predestination.” See the use of the word “predestined” in 8:28–30 and “elect” in 8:33. Some scholars take this to indicate that God has, from before the foundation of the world, chosen some people to save. Christians have different views on what the Bible teaches on this subject, so translators need to take extra care when translating these verses. (See: predestine)
In 8:24 and 8:31–35 Paul uses rhetorical questions in order to emphasize that what he is saying is true. If you would not use rhetorical questions for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. (See: figs-rquestion)
Paul uses the word “flesh” in a variety of ways throughout this letter. In this chapter he frequently uses it to refer to sinful human nature. However, he uses the word “flesh” to refer to Christ’s physical body in 8:3. Every use of the word “flesh” will be discussed in the notes. (See: flesh)
In this chapter the pronouns “we”, “us”, and “our” refer inclusively to all believers in Christ. Paul calls these people “brothers” in 8:12. Your language may require you to mark these forms. (See: figs-exclusive)
