TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:17 Those who truly want to do the will of God receive and accept Jesus and his teaching (see also 5:42-47). Those who focus on the world, by contrast, are not receptive to Christ.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν & ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ

from ¬the God ˱it˲_is & from myself

Here, from is used to indicate the source of Jesus’ teaching. A teaching could only have authority if God was its source. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “it is with God’s authority … only with my own authority”
