OET (OET-LV) For/Because if you_all_may_love the ones loving you_all, what reward are_you_all_having?
Not also the tax_collectors are_doing the same?
OET (OET-RV) If you all just love people who love you, what reward would you expect for that? Don’t the tax collectors even do that?
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces further support for Jesus’ command to love enemies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces support for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should love your enemies because” or “You should do what I am saying since”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε?
what reward ˱you_all˲_/are/_having
Jesus uses this question to show that people who only love others who love them will not receive any reward. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “you have no reward.” or “there is no reward for you!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν?
not also the tax_collectors the same /are/_doing
Jesus uses this question to show that even tax collectors, who were often considered to be unloving people, love people who love them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Even the tax collectors do the same.” or “Even tax collectors do that very thing!”
5:21-47 You have heard. . . . But I say: Jesus contrasts his own teaching to six misinterpretations of the law. Each antithesis provides an example of the surpassing righteousness of Jesus. Jesus reveals the will of God as it contrasts with traditions.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
