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: figures-of-speech / explicit

νόει ὃ λέγω

/be/_understanding what ˱I˲_/am/_saying

Here Paul means that Timothy should Think about what Paul has written about soldiers, athletes, and farmers (2:4–6). He wants Timothy to apply these examples to himself as he serves Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Think about the examples I have given” or “Think about what I have said about soldiers, athletes, and farmers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δώσει & σοι & σύνεσιν

/will_be/_giving & ˱to˲_you & insight

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of understanding, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “will help you to understand”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν πᾶσιν

in all_‹things›

Here the phrase in everything could refer to: (1) everything related to the three examples that Paul has given to Timothy in the previous verses. Alternate translation: “about everything that I have just said” or “about all those examples” (2) everything that Timothy needs to know to serve Jesus well. Alternate translation: “about everything that you need to know” or “about all things related to serving him”
