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: grammar-connect-logic-result

σὺ οὖν

you therefore

Here the word therefore could introduce: (1) an inference from 1:15–18. In this case, Paul wants Timothy to act like Onesiphorus and not like Phygelus and Hermogenes. Alternate translation: “Like those who have not abandoned me, you too” or “In contrast to Phygelus and Hermogenes, you” (2) an inference from most or all of chapter 1. Alternate translation: “Given all that, you” (3) further exhortation to Timothy that is not based on anything specific. Alternate translation: “Now you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τέκνον μου

child ˱of˲_me

Paul speaks of his close relationship to Timothy as though Timothy were his child. Paul means that he is Timothy’s spiritual father, and Paul loves Timothy in the way a father loves his child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who are like a child to me” or “my spiritual son”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐνδυναμοῦ

/be_being/_strengthened

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 does the action, you could indicate that it is: (1) God. Alternate translation: “let God strengthen you” (2) Timothy himself. Alternate translation: “strengthen yourself”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ χάριτι τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

in the grace ¬which in Christ Jesus

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in the way that God acts graciously toward you in Christ Jesus”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῇ χάριτι

in the grace

Here the word in could introduce: (1) the circumstance in which Timothy is strengthened. Alternate translation: “while you experience the grace” (2) the means by which Timothy is strengthened. Alternate translation: “by the grace”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

the ¬which in Christ Jesus

Here Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe the union of believers with Christ Jesus. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ Jesus, is the way in which Timothy is given grace. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that the grace is given to Timothy as part of his union with Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: “that is given in union with Christ Jesus” or “that you have because you are united to Christ Jesus”
