2TIM 3:7 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ

and

Here the word and introduces something that contrasts with how these women are always learning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: [yet]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μηδέποτε εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν δυνάμενα

never to /a/_knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth /to/_come being_able

Here Paul speaks of the knowledge of the truth as if it were a destination at which people could arrive. He is indicating that these women cannot gain the knowledge of the truth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [never able to grasp knowledge of the truth] or [never able to gain knowledge of the truth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας

to /a/_knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of knowledge and truth, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [to know the true teaching]
