1 TIM 5:22 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.

OET (OET-RV) Don’t rush to lay hands on anyone[fn] and don’t join in other people’s sinful schemes, but strive to keep yourself pure.

5:22 Paul doesn’t give more details here, and although Timothy probably knew what he meant, it’s less certain to us now. It probably refers to placing hands on others when praying for them, and could refer to praying for healing or similar, or praying for wisdom when dedicating a new leader. (TODO: Need to add cross-references here.)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει

hands quickly ˱on˲_no_one ˓be˒_laying_on

Here Paul is speaking of a ceremony during which church leaders would Place their hands on a person. When they did that, they were commissioning that person to serve God in a specific way, usually as a leader. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a comparable action in your culture, or you could explain what this action means. Alternate translation: [Place hands on no one hastily to commission him] or [Authorize no one by placing hands on him hastily]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μηδὲ κοινώνει ἁμαρτίαις ἀλλοτρίαις

nor ˓be˒_sharing ˱in˲_˓the˒_sins another’s

Here, Paul implies that Timothy might share in the sins of others if he helps to appoint leaders who are sinning or if he does not confront leaders who are sinning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [nor participate in the sins of others by appointing and affirming them as leaders] or [nor join in with or affirm others who are sinning]
