Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

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 1:51.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον

¬the my word

Here, word refers to the message or teachings of Jesus. See how you translated this phrase in 5:24. Alternate translation: “my message” or “what I say”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ

death by_no_means not ˱he˲_/may/_observe

Here Jesus uses see to refer to experiencing or participating in something. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will certainly not experience death”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

death by_no_means not ˱he˲_/may/_observe to the age

Jesus uses death to refer to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. However, the Jews did not understand this. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here. Alternate translation: “he will certainly not die”
