Translate Colossians 1:6b–8 by using the five-step translation process:
- Clauses: Divide the text into clauses. (Note that we have colored the aorist indicative verb forms you have not yet learned.)
- Main Verb: Identify the main verb in the clause.
- Subject: Identify the verb’s subject.
- An explicit subject will be in the nominative case.
- Some verbs just have an implicit subject.
- Object: Identify the verb’s object or predicate nominative.
- Action verbs take a direct object (usually in the accusative case).
- Being verbs take a predicate nominative.
- Some verbs do not need a direct object (like ἔρχομαι/Ι come).
- Extras: Identify and diagram the remaining parts.
- A genitive noun should go with its head noun.
- Keep prepositional phrases together.
