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.

4:27 μηδε ¦ μητε TR


TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:26-27 “don’t sin by letting anger control you” (literally “be angry and do not sin”): This verse quotes Ps 4:4. The literal form of the quotation cannot be used to justify anger, for anger gives a foothold to the devil (cp. Jas 1:20). God’s people are to be gentle and gracious, not harsh or angry (see Eph 4:31-32).
• Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry: Anger must quickly be resolved, not allowed to stew.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

μηδὲ δίδοτε τόπον τῷ διαβόλῳ

not /be/_giving place ˱to˲_the devil

Alternate translation: “and do not give the devil an opportunity to lead you into sin”
