uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰ τυφλοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἰ τυφλοί ἦτε οὐκ ἄν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν νῦν δέ λέγετε ὅτι Βλέπομεν ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει)

See how you translated blind in [9:39–40](../09/39.md). Alternate translation: [If you did not know God’s truth, you would have no sin]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

In these two phrases, Jesus speaks of sin as if it were an object that a person could possess or that could remain with a person. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you would not be sinful … You are still sinful]

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [you say that you see, so your sin remains]
