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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃν & ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς

whom & sent_out ¬the God

This phrase refers to Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [Jesus, whom God has sent]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

(Occurrence 2) γὰρ

for

For here indicates that what follows is the reason why the previous sentence is true. We know that Jesus speaks the words of God because God has given him the Holy Spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [We know this because]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

οὐ & δίδωσιν

not & ˱he˲_/is/_giving

Here, he refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [God does not give]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐ & ἐκ μέτρου δίδωσιν τὸ Πνεῦμα

not & by measure ˱he˲_/is/_giving the Spirit

John is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context, especially this discussion of God giving to his Son in the next verse. Alternate translation: [he does not give the Spirit to him by measure]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ & ἐκ μέτρου δίδωσιν τὸ Πνεῦμα

not & by measure ˱he˲_/is/_giving the Spirit

This clause is a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that means the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: [he certainly gives the Spirit without measure]
