1TH 3:12 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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next part of Paul’s prayer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces another section, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Further,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὑμᾶς & ὁ Κύριος πλεονάσαι καὶ περισσεύσαι

you_all & the Lord ˓might˒_abound and ˓might˒_abound

The terms increase and abound mean similar things. Paul is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [may the Lord make you very much abound] or [may the Lord make you increase greatly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ ἀγάπῃ εἰς ἀλλήλους, καὶ εἰς πάντας, καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς

¬the ˱in˲_love toward one_another and toward all just_as also we toward you_all

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in how you love one another and all, just as we also love you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

εἰς πάντας

toward toward all

Paul is using the adjective all as a noun to refer to all people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [for all humans]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς

and and also we toward you_all

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [we also increase and abound in love for you]
