Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

10:38 Jesus’ miraculous works should help true believers know and understand that the full reality of God dwells in Jesus.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ δὲ ποιῶ

if but ˱I˲_/am/_doing

Here, Jesus is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “But since I am doing them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς ἔργοις πιστεύετε

˱in˲_the works /be/_believing

Here, believe in means to acknowledge that the works Jesus does are done with the authority of the Father and prove that he is God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “believe that the works I do are from God” or “believe that the works I do are done with God’s power”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Πατὴρ, κἀγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρί

in me_‹is› the Father and_I_‹am› in the Father

Here Jesus uses the word in to express the close personal relationship between himself and God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with my Father”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Πατὴρ, κἀγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρί

in me_‹is› the Father and_I_‹am› in the Father

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that the truth of what Jesus is saying. If your language does not use repetition in this way, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “my Father and I are completely joined together as one”
