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.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἵνα
in_order_that
Here, the phrase so that could introduce: (1) the result of doing what Paul has commanded in [4:10–11](../04/10.md). Alternate translation: [with the result that] (2) the purpose of doing what Paul has commanded in [4:10–11](../04/10.md). Alternate translation: [in order that]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
περιπατῆτε
˱you_all˲_˓may_be˒_walking
Paul speaks of behavior in life as if it were walking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you may act] or [you may live your lives]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τοὺς ἔξω
the_‹ones› outside
Here, the phrase the ones outside identifies people who do not belong to the group of believers in Thessalonica.

Alternate translation: [the outsiders] or [the unbelievers]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
