Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

11:18 Peter’s logical, straightforward explanation convinced those who had objected—they recognized God’s hand at work in the conversion of the Gentiles and their receiving eternal life. However, issues relating to the inclusion of Gentiles would soon provoke a major crisis (15:1-35; Paul’s letter to the Galatians).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ἡσύχασαν
˱they˲_kept_quiet
The pronoun they refers to the Jewish believers to whom Peter was speaking. Alternate translation: [the Jewish believers became quiet]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἡσύχασαν
˱they˲_kept_quiet
This is an idiom that means they no longer argued. Alternate translation: [they no longer argued with Peter]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὁ Θεὸς τὴν μετάνοιαν εἰς ζωὴν ἔδωκεν
and also ˱to˲_the pagans ¬the God ¬the repentance to life gave
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of repentance and life, you could express the same idea in other ways. Here the term life refers to everlasting life. Alternate translation: [God has allowed the Gentiles as well to repent and live forever]
