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 / 123person

Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος

Paul /an/_ambassador

In this culture, letter writers would give their own names first, referring to themselves in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person here. Or if your language has a particular way of introducing the author of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [From Paul. I am an apostle]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ θελήματος Θεοῦ

by /the/_will ˱of˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [because that is what God wanted] or [because of what God decided]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατ’

according_to

Here the phrase according to could indicate: (1) that the purpose for which Paul is an apostle is to tell others about the promise of life. Alternate translation: [for the purpose of declaring] (2) that the reason why Paul is an apostle is the promise of life. Alternate translation: [because of] (3) that God’s will contains or includes the promise of life. Alternate translation: [which will contains]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐπαγγελίαν ζωῆς

promise ˱of˲_life

Here Paul is using the possessive form to describe a promise that promises life. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the promise that guarantees life]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ζωῆς τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

˱of˲_life ¬which in Christ Jesus

Here Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe life that can only be experienced when someone is in union with Christ Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that this life can only be experienced when people are united to Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: [of life that is received in union with Christ Jesus] or [of life that is gained when people are united to Christ Jesus]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζωῆς τῆς

˱of˲_life ¬which

Here Paul is referring to new, eternal life with God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [of eternal life that is] or [of new life with God that is]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ζωῆς τῆς

˱of˲_life ¬which

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of life, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [about living forever, which people do]
