2TIM 2:3 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 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

συνκακοπάθησον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συγκακοπάθησον ὡς καλὸς στρατιώτης Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ)

Here the phrase Suffer together could indicate that Timothy should suffer with: (1) Paul. Alternate translation: [Suffer together with me] (2) all Christians who suffer. Alternate translation: [Suffer together with other believers]

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

συνκακοπάθησον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συγκακοπάθησον ὡς καλὸς στρατιώτης Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ)

Many ancient manuscripts read Suffer together. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “You, therefore, suffer.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὡς καλὸς στρατιώτης Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

as /a/_good soldier (Some words not found in SR-GNT: συγκακοπάθησον ὡς καλὸς στρατιώτης Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ)

Here Paul speaks as if Timothy were a soldier who fights for and serves Jesus Christ. A good soldier is one who obeys his commander even if that means suffering and pain. So, Timothy will be like a good soldier when he obeys Jesus even if that means that he will Suffer together with Paul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as if you were a good soldier and Jesus Christ were your commander] or [as someone who faithfully serves Jesus Christ no matter what happens]
