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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:16-21 Because there are no quotation marks around Jesus’ speech in the Greek text, translators debate where Jesus’ speech ends and John’s commentary begins; 3:16-21 might be John’s commentary.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For here indicates another reason why men love the darkness, as stated in the previous verse. People who do evil things hate the light. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “This is because”

πᾶς & ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων

everyone & ¬which evil doing

This phrase refers to someone who habitually does evil things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “everyone who habitually does evil”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ φῶς, καὶ & πρὸς τὸ φῶς

the light and & to the light

See how you translated the light in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “Jesus, who revealed the true and good things of God, and … to Jesus”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τὸ φῶς, καὶ & πρὸς τὸ φῶς

the light and & to the light

Jesus is speaking about himself in the third person. If your language does not allow people to speak of themselves in the third person, you may need to specify who the light is. Alternate translation: “me, the light, and … to me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα μὴ ἐλεγχθῇ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

in_order_that not /may_be/_rebuked the works ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “so that the light might not expose his deeds”
