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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

Τιμοθέῳ

˱to˲_Timothy

In this culture, after giving their own names, letter writers would name those to whom they sent the letter, referring to them in the third person. If that is confusing in your language, you could use the second person here. Or if your language has a particular way of introducing the recipient of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here, starting a new sentence. Alternate translation: [This letter is for you, Timothy]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

γνησίῳ τέκνῳ

genuine child

Paul speaks of his close relationship to Timothy as though Timothy were his genuine child. Paul means that he is Timothy’s spiritual father, and Paul loves Timothy in the way a father loves his child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [who is like a genuine child to me] or [truly my spiritual son]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

γνησίῳ

genuine

Here, the word genuine indicates that the child is considered to be someone’s child in the full legal sense. For example, a chlid born to an unmarried woman would not be considered genuine. In the context of the metaphor, the word indicates that Timothy has acted as a son should act toward Paul. If your readers would not be familiar with the concept of a genuine child, you could use the name of a similar concept in your culture or you could use a more general phrase. Alternate translation: [legitimate] or [true]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν πίστει

in ˓the˒_faith

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [since we both believe] or [as we together believe]

Note 5 topic: translate-blessing

χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν

grace mercy peace from God ˓the˒_Father and Christ Jesus the Lord ˱of˲_us

After stating his name and the name of the person to whom he is writing, Paul adds a blessing for Timothy. Use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. Alternate translation: [May you experience grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord] or [I pray that grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will always be with you]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν

grace mercy peace from God ˓the˒_Father and Christ Jesus the Lord ˱of˲_us

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of Grace, mercy, and peace, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [May you be treated graciously, mercifully, and peacefully by God the Father and by Christ Jesus our Lord]

Note 7 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Θεοῦ Πατρὸς

God ˓the˒_Father

Father is an important title for God the Father that describes his relationship with Jesus, his Son.
