Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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.

ClVg Scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur:[fn]
(Scimus however because good it_is lex when/but_if who/any ea legitime utatur: )

1.8 Scimus autem. Ne videretur legem incusare, addit: Scimus autem, etc. Sed ne iterum videatur eam inducere, subjungit: Scientes hoc, quia justo non est lex posita: quia non ex ea est justus, sed ex fide. Ad quid igitur ei necessaria est lex? Ideo data est, ut vel reum puniret, vel peccare volentem cœrceret. Justus tamen, et si ea non eget, utitur, ut sic esset in auctoritate aliis, et futura attestaretur factis. Legitime utatur. Qui scit ad tempus datam esse legem et sub Christo deserit. Jam justis per remissionem non est opus lege, a qua liberi sunt per Christum. Lege autem legitime utendi multiplex est modus, ut secundum aliud justus, et secundum aliud injustus recte dicatur legitime uti lege. Injustus enim ea legitime utitur, quando intelligens quare data sit, ejus comminatione tanquam pædagogo perducitur ad gratiam, per quam justus fiat. Justus vero et illa legitime utitur, cum eam tenendo injustis imponit, ut cum injustis cœperit inolitæ concupiscentiæ morbus incentivo prohibitionis, et cumulo prævaricationis augeri, confugiant ad justificantem gratiam, et per eam suavitate justitiæ delectati pœnam litteræ minantis evadant.

1.8 Scimus however. Ne videretur legem incusare, addit: Scimus however, etc. But not again videatur her inducere, subyungit: Scientes hoc, because justo not/no it_is lex posita: because not/no from ea it_is justus, but from fide. Ad quid igitur to_him necessaria it_is lex? Ideo data it_is, as or reum puniret, or peccare volentem cœrceret. Yustus tamen, and when/but_if ea not/no eget, utitur, as so was in auctoritate aliis, and futura attestaretur factis. Legitime utatur. Who scit to tempus datam esse legem and under Christo deserit. Yam justis through remissionem not/no it_is opus lege, from which liberi are through Christum. Lege however legitime utendi multiplex it_is modus, as after/second something_else justus, and after/second something_else injustus recte let_him_sayur legitime uti lege. Injustus because ea legitime utitur, when intelligens quare data let_it_be, his comminatione tanquam pædagogo perducitur to gratiam, through how justus fiat. Yustus vero and that legitime utitur, when/with her tenendo injustis imponit, as when/with injustis cœperit inolitæ concupiscentiæ morbus incentivo prohibitionis, and cumulo prævaricationis augeri, confugiant to justificantem gratiam, and through her suavitate justitiæ delectati pœnam litteræ minantis evadant.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that Paul wishes to write about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ νόμος

the law

Here, the word law refers specifically to the laws that God gave the Israelites through Moses. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you referred to this law in 1:7. Alternate translation: [the law of Moses]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐάν τις αὐτῷ νομίμως χρῆται

if someone ˱to˲_it lawfully /may_be/_resorting

Here Paul indicates that the law is good when people use it as God intended it to be used, that is, lawfully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translations: “if one uses it as it was intended to be used” or “if one uses it in the way that God intended”
