OET (OET-LV) and you_all_are_ not _willing to_come to me, in_order_that you_all_may_be_having life.

OET (OET-RV) yet you refuse to come to me in order to receive life.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:30–47: Jesus told about others who told the truth about himself

Jesus told the Pharisees about those who testified about him. Those witnesses were John the Baptist, the works that the Father gave him to do, and the Father himself. The Father spoke about him in the Old Testament.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus told about what testified about the truth about him

There were those who confirmed the truth about Jesus

Witnesses for Jesus

Paragraph 5:39–44

Jesus condemned the religious leaders’ failure to believe in him. He said they were more interested in receiving praise from one another than they were in receiving God’s praise.

5:40

yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

yet you refuse to come to Me to have life: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as yet introduces a result that one does not expect. The religious leaders were refusing to believe in Jesus even though the Scriptures testified about him.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

and you still do not want to come to me so that I will give life to you

But you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life (NET)

you refuse: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as you refuse is more literally “you do not want.” It includes the idea of not being willing to do something, of choosing against something. For example:

you are not willing (GNT)

to come to Me: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as come to Me refers to a spiritual way of going to Jesus. That way involved believing and trusting him as the Messiah.

to have life: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as to have life indicates a purpose. The purpose of coming to Jesus is to receive the life mentioned in 5:39b. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

in order to have life (GNT)

for eternal life (CEV)

to receive that life (REB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ θέλετε ἐλθεῖν πρός με

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί οὒ θέλετε ἐλθεῖν πρός μέ ἵνα ζωήν ἔχητε)

Here, come does not mean to merely come near Jesus, but it means to follow him and be his disciple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [you are not willing to come and by my disciples]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζωὴν ἔχητε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί οὒ θέλετε ἐλθεῖν πρός μέ ἵνα ζωήν ἔχητε)

Here, life refers to eternal life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [you might have eternal life]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:1-40 This chapter reads like a courtroom drama, with a description of the crime (5:1-15), followed by a decision to prosecute (5:16), a description of the charges (5:18), and Jesus’ defense (5:17, 19-40).

OET (OET-RV) yet you refuse to come to me in order to receive life.
