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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ

in the today day

This is an idiomatic expression. Your language may have its own way of expressing the same meaning. Alternate translation: [this very day]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

καθαρός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος πάντων

pure ˱I˲_am from the blood ˱of˲_all

Paul is referring to death as a punishment by association with the way a person’s blood is often shed when they are executed. In this case the death is not physical but spiritual. It is the punishment of spiritual death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am not responsible for the punishment of spiritual death that any of you might receive]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καθαρός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος πάντων

pure ˱I˲_am from the blood ˱of˲_all

Paul assumes that his readers will understand that they would receive a punishment of spiritual death for rejecting Jesus as their Savior from the guilt of sin. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I am not responsible for the punishment of spiritual death that any of you might receive for rejecting Jesus as your Savior from the guilt of sin]
