ROM 9:1 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: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀλήθειαν λέγω ἐν Χριστῷ, οὐ ψεύδομαι

/the/_truth ˱I˲_/am/_speaking in Christ not ˱I˲_/am/_lying

These two expressions mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them to emphasize that he is telling the truth. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “I am telling you the absolute truth in Christ”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ

in Christ

See how you translated the similar phrase in 3:24.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

συνμαρτυρούσης μοι τῆς συνειδήσεώς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀλήθειαν λέγω ἐν Χριστῷ οὐ ψεύδομαι συμμαρτυρούσης μοι τῆς συνειδήσεώς μου ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ)

Here Paul uses conscience as if it were a person bearing witness in a courtroom. If it might be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated a similar phrase in 2:15.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ

in in /the/_Spirit Holy

Here, in the Holy Spirit indicates that the Holy Spirit is the one who guided Paul’s conscience. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “by the guidance of the Holy Spirit”
