Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

OET (OET-RV) Isn’t he saying that on our behalf? Yes, it was written for our sake saying that anyone who’s ploughing a field should expect to be paid, and anyone who threshes the grain should expect a share of the harvest.![]()
OET-LV Or because_of us certainly he_is_speaking?
Because_of for us it_was_written that ought in hope the one plowing to_be_plowing, and the one threshing in hope which to_be_partaking.![]()
ULT Or is he speaking entirely for our sake? For it was written for our sake that the one plowing ought to plow in hope, and the one threshing, in hope of sharing the harvest.
UST Rather, God speaks mostly about us in this law. God had Moses write this command for us because any person who plows a field should expect to receive some of the crop. Any person who separates the grain from the wheat stalks should also expect to receive some of the crop.
BSB Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because [when] the plowman plows and the thresher [ threshes ], [they] should [also] expect to share in the harvest.

NET Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.
LSV Or by all means does He say [it] because of us? Yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading [ought] of his hope to partake in hope.

T4T No, he was [RHQ] concerned about us, also! Yes, God caused Moses to write those words because he is concerned about us! Those who plow the ground confidently expect to eat some of the crop that grows. Those who thresh grain confidently expect to eat some of the grain that they thresh. Similarly, we who proclaim the message about Christ have the right to confidently expect to receive financial help for our work.
LEB Or doubtless does he speak ⌊for our sake⌋[fn]? For it is written ⌊for our sake⌋[fn], because the one who plows ought to plow in hope and the one who threshes ought to do so in hope of a share.

Moff Or is he speaking purely for our sakes? Assuredly for our sakes. This word was written for us, because the ploughman needs to plough in hope, and the thresher to thresh in the hope of getting a share in the crop.

ASV or saith he it assuredly for our sake? Yea, for our sake it was written: because he that ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he that thresheth, to thresh in hope of partaking.

Luth Oder sagt er‘s nicht allerdinge um unsertwillen? Denn es ist ja um unsertwillen geschrieben. Denn der da pflüget, soll auf Hoffnung pflügen, und der da drischt, soll auf Hoffnung dreschen, daß er seiner Hoffnung teilhaftig werde.
