1TH 5:10 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 / distinguish

τοῦ ἀποθανόντος περὶ ἡμῶν

the_‹one› /having/_died_off for us

Here, the phrase the one having died for us gives more information about “our Lord Jesus Christ.” It does not distinguish between several Christs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that adds information instead of making distinctions. Alternate translation: [and he is the one who died for us] or [who died for us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν & γρηγορῶμεν & ζήσωμεν

us & ˱we˲_/may_be/_watching & ˱we˲_/may/_live

Here, the words us, we, and we include Paul, his fellow workers, and the Thessalonians. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περὶ ἡμῶν

for us

Here, the phrase for us could indicate that Jesus died: (1) to benefit or help us. Alternate translation: [for our benefit] (2) instead of or in place of us. Alternate translation: [in place of us] or [instead of us]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, the phrase so that introduces the purpose for which Jesus died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a purpose. Alternate translation: [in order that]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν

whether ˱we˲_/may_be/_watching or ˱we˲_/may_be/_sleeping

Here Paul could be using the terms keep watch and sleep to refer to: (1) being alive and being dead. Alternate translation: [whether we are alive or die] (2) waiting expectantly for Jesus to return and being dead. Alternate translation: [whether we continue to expect Jesus to return or have died] (3) doing what pleases God and not doing what pleases God. Alternate translation: [whether we do not always please God or whether we do what pleases him]
