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.

8:35 Jesus unfolded the logic of his argument: If Israel is a spiritual slave, it has the same insecurity as any slave in a household. Members of a family are secure, slaves are not. Only Jesus can change the status of those in spiritual slavery and make them free and secure.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ὁ & δοῦλος οὐ μένει & ὁ Υἱὸς μένει
the & slave not /is/_remaining & the Son /is/_remaining
Jesus is speaking of slaves and sons in general, not of one particular slave and son. If this would be misunderstood in your language, use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: [slaves do not remain … sons remain]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ
in the house
Here, Jesus uses house to refer to the family that lives inside the house. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as a permanent member of a family]
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ὁ Υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
the the Son /is/_remaining to the age
This clause is in contrast to the previous clause. Although slaves do not remain permanent members of the family who owns them, sons are permanent family members. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: [but the son remains into eternity]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ Υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
the the Son /is/_remaining to the age
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous clause. Alternate translation: [the son remains in the house into eternity]
