Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ἐσφράγισεν
˱he˲_sealed
This expression refers to placing a seal on a document in order to certify that what is written in the document is true. (See: seal) Here this meaning is extended to refer to certifying that God is true. If your readers would not be familiar with this practice of sealing documents, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [has certified] or [has attested]
3:22-36 John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the one who is truly from above (3:31); this requires John’s followers to shift their allegiance to Jesus.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
