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 as a tool 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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:4 dear brothers and sisters: Greek adelphoi, a generic term that refers to members of the same family, both male and female.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

εἰδότες

˓having˒_known

Here, the word knowing introduces a reason why Paul and those with him give thanks to God (see [1:2](../01/02.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: [which we do because we know] or [since we know]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοὶ

brothers

Here and throughout the letter, Paul uses the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [believing friends]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοὶ

brothers

Throughout the letter, although the term brothers is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you retain the metaphor in your translation, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could say “brothers and sisters” to indicate this.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠγαπημένοι ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓having_been˒_loved by ¬the God

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [whom God is loving]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἐκλογὴν ὑμῶν,

the choice ˱of˲_you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of election, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [that you have been chosen] or [that God has selected you]
