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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πρεσβυτέρας & νεωτέρας

eldresses & younger

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 the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and exhort older women … and exhort younger women”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρεσβυτέρας & νεωτέρας

eldresses & younger

Here Paul could be implying that these women are older or younger: (1) than Timothy. Alternate translation: “women older than you … women younger than you” (2) in general terms. In this case, Paul is using the words older and younger to refer to general categories. Alternate translation: “elderly women … young women”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς μητέρας & ὡς ἀδελφὰς

as mothers & as sisters

Paul wants Timothy to exhort older women as he would speak to his own mother, and he wants Timothy to exhort younger women as he would speak to his own younger sisters. He means that Timothy should speak to these people as if they filled the roles of mother and sisters 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 mother … as you would exhort your own sisters”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡς ἀδελφὰς, ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνίᾳ

as as sisters in all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πρεσβυτέρας ὡς μητέρας νεωτέρας ὡς ἀδελφὰς ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνείᾳ)

Here, the phrase in all purity could describe: (1) only how Timothy should exhort younger women. In this case, Paul is especially concerned about sexual purity. Alternate translation: “in all sexual purity, as sisters” (2) how Timothy should exhort older and younger men and older and younger women. In this case, Paul is speaking about purity in general. Alternate translation: “as sisters, exhorting all those people in all purity”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνίᾳ

in all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πρεσβυτέρας ὡς μητέρας νεωτέρας ὡς ἀδελφὰς ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνείᾳ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of purity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in a very pure way”
