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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ
¬the judgment ¬the my
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what I judge”
ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ἀληθινή ἐστιν
¬the judgment ¬the my true is
Here, Jesus is contrasting the nature of the Pharisees’ judgment with the nature of his own judgment. Alternate translation: “my judgment is right” or “my judgment is according to what is true”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μόνος οὐκ εἰμί
alone not ˱I˲_am
Here, Jesus implies that he is not alone when he judges people. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I am not alone in how I judge” or “I do not judge alone”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ πέμψας με Πατήρ
the /having/_sent me Father
Here, this phrase refers to God. See how you translated this phrase in 5:23.
Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
