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

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:21 Most Jews firmly believed in resurrection but viewed it as something God alone could accomplish. Jesus claimed that he gives life.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατὴρ & Υἱὸς

Father & Son

Father and Son are important titles that describe the relationship between God and Jesus.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζῳοποιεῖ & οὓς θέλει ζῳοποιεῖ

/is/_giving_life & whom /is/_willing /is/_giving_life

The phrase makes them alive could refer to: (1) eternal life. Alternate translation: [makes them have eternal life … makes whom he desires have eternal life] (2) physical life, in which case it would repeat the idea of “raises the dead” in the previous phrase. Alternate translation: [makes them live again … makes alive again whom he desires]

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

ὁ Υἱὸς

the the Son

As in the previous two verses, Jesus is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “I, the Son”
