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.

OET (OET-RV) because we were saved having hope, but if you can see it then it’s not hope, because you don’t need to hope for something that you can already see.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows in this verse and the next verse is the reason why Christians “groan” and are “eagerly expecting” to be fully adopted and redeemed. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [We do this because]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῇ & ἐλπίδι & ἐλπὶς & ἐλπίς
˱in˲_the & hope & hope & hope
See how you translated the abstract noun hope in 5:4.
τῇ & ἐλπίδι
˱in˲_the & hope
Here, in could indicate: (1) that hope is associated with being saved. Alternate translation: [in association with this hope] (2) the means by which people are saved. In this case, hope would refer to faith. Alternate translation: [by this hope]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐσώθημεν
˱we˲_/were/_saved
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: [God saved us]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
βλεπομένη & βλέπει
/being/_seen & /is/_seeing
Paul uses seen and sees here to refer to experiencing something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [being experienced … he experiences]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
βλεπομένη
/being/_seen
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: [that people can see]
Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
(Occurrence 2) γὰρ
for
For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows is the reason why the previous statement is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [This is true since]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ὃ γὰρ βλέπει τις, ἐλπίζει?
what for /is/_seeing anyone ˱he˲_/is/_hoping
Paul is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the thrust of what he is saying. 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 and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [For surely no one hopes for what he sees!]
