Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool 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.

ClVg Qui accepit ejus testimonium signavit, quia Deus verax est.[fn]
(Who he_received his testimony signavit, because God verax it_is. )

3.33 Signavit quia Deus. Hoc est, signum posuit in corde suo quasi speciale aliquid, scilicet hunc esse verum Deum, qui missus est ad salutem hominum. Verax est. Quem enim misit Deus. Omnis homo ex se mendax; non enim vera dicere potest, nisi illuminatus a Deo. Quem enim misit Deus Pater, verba Dei loquitur, quod est? Quem misit Deus, Deus est: ideo verba Dei loquitur, ergo verba Filii de se testimonium perhibentis quod Deus sit, verba Dei sunt. Verba Dei loquitur. In hoc se distinguit a Christo, sed quia missus et verba Dei loquitur, apertius addit: Non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum. Pater diligit Filium et omnia dedit in manu ejus. Hominibus dat ad mensuram, filio non dat ad mensuram, sed sicut totum ex seipso toto genuit Filium suum, ita incarnato Filio suo totum spiritum suum dedit, non particulatim, non per subdivisiones, sed generaliter et universaliter, et non ob aliud dat nisi quia Pater diligit Filium.

3.33 Signavit because God. This it_is, sign/signal put in/into/on heart his_own as_if speciale aliquid, scilicet this_one to_be verum God, who missus it_is to salutem of_men. Verax it_is. Quem because he_sent God. Everyone human from himself liar; not/no because vera sayere potest, except himinatus from to_God. Quem because he_sent God Pater, words of_God to_speaktur, that est? Quem he_sent God, God it_is: therefore/for_that_reason words of_God to_speaktur, therefore words Children from/about himself testimony perhibentis that God let_it_be, words of_God are. Verba of_God to_speaktur. In this himself distinguit from to_Christ/Messiah, but because missus and words of_God to_speaktur, apertius adds: Not/No because to measurem dat God spiritum. Pater he_loves Son and everything he_gave in/into/on by_hand his. Manbus dat to measurem, filio not/no dat to measurem, but like totum from seipso toto kneelingt Son his_own, so/thus incarnato Filio his_own totum spiritum his_own he_gave, not/no particulatim, not/no through subdivisiones, but generaliter and universeliter, and not/no ob something_else dat except because Pater he_loves Son.
