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 / abstractnouns
ἀπὸ βρέφους
from /a/_baby
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of childhood, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [since you were an infant]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
to salvation through faith ¬which in Christ Jesus
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of salvation and faith, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [so that you are saved through believing in Christ Jesus]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
¬which in Christ Jesus
Here Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe the union of believers with Christ. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ Jesus, explains how Timothy can have faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that Timothy can have faith as one who has been united to Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: [that you have in your union with Christ Jesus] or [that comes from being united to Christ Jesus]
