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.

2:2 The many reliable witnesses would confirm the validity and veracity of Paul’s teaching (see also 3:10-11).
• teach these truths (literally entrust these things): This verb is a cognate of deposit (see study notes on 1:12, 14). Timothy’s own guarding of the deposit includes entrusting it to faithful people.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
διὰ πολλῶν μαρτύρων
through many witnesses
Here the phrase through many witnesses could indicate that: (1) many people have witnessed or testified to the truth of what Paul has taught Timothy. Alternate translation: [that many witnesses have affirmed] (2) Timothy has been taught by Paul in the presence of many people who can witness or testify to what Paul said. Alternate translation: [in the presence of many witnesses]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ταῦτα παράθου
these entrust
Paul speaks of his teachings as if they were objects that Timothy could physically place before other people. He means that Timothy should give these people the same teachings that Paul gave to Timothy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [pass these things on to] or [speak these things to]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
πιστοῖς ἀνθρώποις
˱to˲_faithful people
Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [to faithful men and women]
