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:

4:7 holy . . . not impure: Cp. 1:4; 2:12; 5:23-24; 2 Thes 2:13-14; 1 Pet 1:15-16.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason or basis for what Paul has said about avoiding sexual immorality (See: [4:3–6](../04/03.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis. Alternate translation: [All that is important because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμᾶς

us

Here, the word us includes Paul, his fellow workers, and the Thessalonians. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπὶ ἀκαθαρσίᾳ, ἀλλ’ ἐν ἁγιασμῷ

to impurity but in holiness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of uncleanness and sanctification, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [to be unclean, but to be sanctified] or [to act in unclean ways, but in holy ways]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλ’ ἐν ἁγιασμῷ

but in holiness

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: [but he called us in sanctification]
