Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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. 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.
