1TIM 4:2 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.

MSG ^(1-5)The Spirit makes it clear that as time goes on, some are going to give up on the faith and chase after demonic illusions put forth by professional liars. These liars have lied so well and for so long that they’ve lost their capacity for truth. They will tell you not to get married. They’ll tell you not to eat this or that food—perfectly good food God created to be eaten heartily and with thanksgiving by believers who know better! Everything God created is good, and to be received with thanks. Nothing is to be sneered at and thrown out. God’s Word and our prayers make every item in creation holy.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ὑποκρίσει ψευδολόγων

in hypocrisy ˱of˲_liars

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hypocrisy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “through liars who act hypocritically”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν

/having_been/_seared their own conscience

Here Paul could be speaking as if these people’s conscience: (1) had been seared, so that it can no longer feel anything. In this case, he means that they no longer feel convicted about what is right and wrong. Alternate translation: “who live as if they had been seared in their own conscience” or “no longer being convicted of what is right or wrong” (2) had been branded and thus marked either as belonging to Satan or as a sinner. Alternate translation: “who live as if they had been branded in their own conscience as belonging to Satan” or “having been marked as sinners”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν

/having_been/_seared their own conscience

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could indicate that: (1) they did it themselves. Alternate translation: “having seared their own consciences” (2) their hypocrisy and lies did it. Alternate translation: “their hypocrisy having seared their own consciences”

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν

their own conscience

If it would not be natural in your language to speak as if a group of people had only one conscience, you could use the plural form of that word in your translation. Alternate translation: “in their own consciences”
