1 TIM 5:1 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 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.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς πατέρα & ὡς ἀδελφούς

as ˓a˒_father & as brothers

Paul wants Timothy to exhort each older man as he would speak to his own father, and he wants Timothy to exhort younger men as he would speak to his own younger brothers. He means that Timothy should speak to these people as if they filled the roles of father and brothers in his own family. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that more explicitly. Alternate translation: [as you would respectfully exhort your own father … as you would exhort your own brothers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

νεωτέρους

younger_‹men›

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: [and exhort younger men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

νεωτέρους

younger_‹men›

Here Paul could be implying that these men are younger than: (1) Timothy. Alternate translation: [men younger than you] (2) the older men. In this case, Paul is using the word younger to refer to a general category. Alternate translation: [young men]
