TSNTyndale Study Notes:

15:1-27 Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure, instructing them to remain in close fellowship with him. The image of a grapevine illustrates both intimacy and fruitfulness. To sustain genuine spiritual life in the world, believers must remain intimately connected to Christ.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

εἰ μὴ ἦλθον καὶ ἐλάλησα αὐτοῖς

except ¬not/lest ˱I˲_came and spoke ˱to˲_them

Jesus is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he knows that the condition is not true. He knows that he did come and speak to the world. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: “If I had not come and spoken to them, but I did”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν

sin not ˱they˲_/were/_having

Jesus speaks of sin as if it were an object that a person could possess. See how you translated a similar phrase in 9:41.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἁμαρτίαν & ἁμαρτίας

sin & sin

Here, Jesus uses sin to refer specifically to the sin of rejecting Jesus and his teachings. It does not refer to sin in general, because everyone is guilty of sin. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the sin of rejecting me and my teachings … sin of rejecting me”
