OET interlinear MAT 7:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐδέποτε ἔγνων ὑμᾶς

never ˱I˲_knew you_all

Here Jesus speaks of his disciples as those whom he knows. When he says I never knew you, he means that the person addressed was never one of his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You have never been my disciples”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν

you_all working ¬the lawlessness

Here Jesus directly addresses those to whom he is speaking as ones practicing lawlessness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the direct address more explicit. Alternate translation: “you who practice lawlessness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἀνομίαν

¬the lawlessness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of lawlessness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what is lawless”
