OET (OET-RV)although in fact you don’t even know him. But I have known him, and so I can’t say that I haven’t known him or I’d be a liar like all of you. But I have known him and I am putting his desires into practice.

OET-LVand you_all_have_ not _known him, but I have_known him, and_if I_may_say that I_have_ not _known him, I_will_be a_liar similar to_you_all.
But I_have_known him, and I_am_keeping the message of_him.

SR-GNTκαὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν, ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν, κἂν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος ὑμῖν ψεύστης. Ἀλλʼ οἶδα αὐτὸν, καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ. 
   (kai ouk egnōkate auton, egō de oida auton, kan eipō hoti ouk oida auton, esomai homoios humin pseustaʸs. Allʼ oida auton, kai ton logon autou taʸrō.)

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:12-59 The debate about whether or not Jesus is the Messiah continues from 7:52. Jesus was still at the Festival of Shelters in Jerusalem. During the festival, the conflicts Jesus had endured in ch 7 continued and intensified.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ

the word ˱of˲_him

Here Jesus uses word to refer what God has said. If this would be confusing in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what God says”
