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-LV And we _are _hoping to the god not to _do to _you _all evil nothing, not in _order _that we approved may _be _seen, but in _order _that you _all the good may _be _doing, and we as unqualified may _be.

ULT Now we pray to God that you may not do anything wrong, not so that we ourselves might be seen, as approved, but so that you yourselves might do the good, even if we ourselves might be as unapproved.

UST We pray to God that you may not be doing any bad things.
