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.

5.25 Quia venit. Dixi quia Filius suscitat et vivificat, quod verum est, quia venit hora, etc., et ostensio Patris sui, hic enim de suscitatione animæ a peccatis agitur. Vocem Filii.

Vita quæ est ipse Pater et Filius pertinet ad animam, non ad corpus, etc., usque ad vita et ipsa est vita corporis. In semetipso. Non aliunde, sed ipse est vita, sic et Filius in semetipso est vita. Sed differunt, quia Pater est vita non nascendo, Filius est vita ex Patre nascendo, unde ait: Dedit, non quod aliquando Filius fuerit sine vita, sed nascitur ex eo vita, dedit ergo, id est, vita genuit vitam.

Vita which it_is exactly_that/himself Pater and Son belongs to animam, not/no to body, etc., until to vita and herself it_is vita corporis. In semetipso. Non aliunde, but exactly_that/himself it_is vita, so and Son in semetipso it_is vita. But differunt, because Pater it_is vita not/no nascendo, Son it_is vita from Patre nascendo, whence he_said: Dedit, not/no that aliquando Son has_been without vita, but nascitur from eo vita, he_gave therefore, id it_is, vita genuit vitam.

ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν

truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you

λέγω ὑμῖν

˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Since Jesus is speaking to a group of Jewish leaders, you is plural here and through 5:47. If your language does not have a different form for plural you, you can use another way to express it. Alternate translation: [I say to you Jews] or [I say to you all]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἔρχεται ὥρα

/is/_coming /an/_hour

See the discussion of an hour is coming in the General Notes to Chapter 4 and see how you translated this phrasef in 4:21.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

the dead

Here, the dead could refer to: (1) people who are spiritually dead. Alternate translation: [the spiritually dead] (2) people who are physically dead. Alternate translation: [the physically dead] (3) both the spiritually dead and physically dead. In this case, an hour that is coming would refer to the future resurrection of the dead while is now would refer to those spiritually dead people who were listening to Jesus when he spoke these words. Alternate translation: [the spiritually dead and physically dead]

Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ

τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God

As in the previous verses in this paragraph, 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: [of me, the Son of God]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀκούσουσιν & οἱ ἀκούσαντες

/will_be/_hearing & the_‹ones› /having/_heard

Here, heard means to listen to something with the intent to heed it and respond appropriately. See how you translated “hearing” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [will heed … those who have heeded]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζήσουσιν

/will_be/_living

This could refer to: (1) having eternal life. Alternate translation: [will have eternal life] (2) physical life, as in being resurrected after death.
