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.

itself the creation /will_be_being/_freed from the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption into the freedom ˱of˲_the glory

Here Paul speaks of the creation as if it were a person who was enslaved to someone and needed to be freed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the creation itself will no longer decay, but will experience the glory]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται

itself the creation /will_be_being/_freed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God will free the creation itself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ κτίσις

the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption & the freedom ˱of˲_the glory

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of slavery, decay, freedom, and glory, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [being enslaved to decay … being free to experience what is glorious]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς

the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption

Paul is using the possessive form to describe slavery to decay. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [being enslaved to decay]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς

the slavery ¬the ˱of˲_corruption

Here Paul speaks of decay as if it could enslave someone. He means that the creation was certain to decay. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [being destined to decay]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν

into the freedom

Here Paul speaks of freedom as if it were a location someone could enter into. Paul means that the creation will experience this freedom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to experience the freedom]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης

the freedom ˱of˲_the glory

Paul is using the possessive form to describe the freedom that relates to the glory. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the freedom that comes from the glory] or [the freedom pertaining to the glory]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ Θεοῦ

the ¬the ˱of˲_the glory ˱of˲_the children ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here Paul uses the possessive form the glory of the children of God to refer to the glory that God shares with believers. This was the same glory that God shared with humans when he created them, but which they lost when the first humans sinned, as mentioned in 3:23. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [of the glory that God gives the children of God]

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν τέκνων τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱of˲_the children ¬the ˱of˲_God

See how you translated this phrase in the 8:16.
