ROM 8:9 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-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

However here indicates a strong contrast between people who have “the mindset of the flesh” referred to in the previous verse and the believers to whom Paul is writing this letter. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: “On the contrary”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐστὲ

you_all and not are

Paul uses the word yourselves to emphasize the contrast between his Christian readers and people who live in the flesh. Use a way that is natural in your language to express this emphasis. Alternate translation: “However, you are truly not”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν σαρκὶ

in flesh

See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Πνεύματι

in in Spirit

Here Paul speaks of the Holy Spirit as if he were a location that someone could be in. He could mean: (1) believers are controlled by the Holy Spirit, which is how in is used earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: “controlled by the Spirit” (2) believers are united with the Holy Spirit, which is how Paul used in in 8:1. Alternate translation: “united with the Spirit”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Πνεύματι & Πνεῦμα Θεοῦ & Πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ

Spirit & /the/_Spirit ˱of˲_God & /the/_Spirit ˱of˲_Christ

These phrases all refer to the Holy Spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit … the Holy Spirit of God … the Holy Spirit of Christ”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

οὗτος

this_‹one›

Here, this one refers to the person who does not have the Spirit of Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “this person without the Spirit”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ

this_‹one› not is ˱of˲_him

Paul is using the possessive form to describe a person who does not belong to Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “this one does not belong to him”
