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: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

because

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the Thessalonians should do what Paul has commanded them to do in 5:6–8. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the reason or basis for previous commands. Alternate translation: “You should do those things because” or “I urge you to do those things since”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμᾶς & ἡμῶν

us & ˱of˲_us

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

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς ὀργὴν

for wrath

Here, the word wrath refers to how God will punish people who do not believe and who disobey him. This punishment will occur during “the day of the Lord” that Paul has already mentioned. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “for future punishment” or “to experience punishment when Jesus returns”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ὀργὴν

for wrath

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wrath, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to be punished”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ εἰς

but for

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 appointed us for”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας

for for procuring ˱of˲_salvation

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe obtaining something, which is salvation. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “for obtaining salvation” or “to obtain salvation”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας

for for procuring ˱of˲_salvation

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to be saved”
