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: headings

General Information:

In verses 1–5, Paul asks the believers to pray for him and his companions and encourages them. A heading for this section might be, “Pray for Us.”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

τὸ λοιπὸν

˱for˲_the rest

Here, the word Finally marks a change in topic. To pray is not the final instruction that Paul gives but it is how Paul opens the last section of his letter where he will discuss a few remaining matters. Alternate translation: [One more thing] or [So, continuing on]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Here, brothers means fellow Christians, including both men and women. Alternate translation: [brothers and sisters]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

The pronoun us refers to Paul and his companions. If you have exclusive and inclusive first person pronouns in your language, this should be an exclusive pronoun.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τρέχῃ

/may_be/_spreading

Paul speaks of God’s word spreading as if it were running from place to place. He is comparing the rapid spread of God’s word to a person who takes good news to others. Alternate translation: [might spread rapidly] or [might be heard by many people]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ δοξάζηται

and /may_be_being/_glorified

You can state this in active form, if the passive construction is not natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and that many people would honor it]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καθὼς καὶ πρὸς ὑμᾶς

as also with you_all

This phrase leaves out some words that many languages might need to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [just as also happened with you] or [which is exactly what you did]
