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.

3:24 και ¦ — PCK
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
3:23-24 John here gives a new criterion for discerning who has the Spirit. The Spirit is not the possession of an elite who are enlightened without their lives being changed. Instead, the Spirit comes to all believers and stimulates obedient discipleship (Gal 5:22-23).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ὁ τηρῶν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, ἐν αὐτῷ μένει
the_‹one› keeping the commandments ˱of˲_him in him /is/_remaining

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν αὐτῷ μένει

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

John is speaking as if God could be inside of believers. Alternate translation: “and God continues to have a close relationship with that person”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι
in in by this ˱we˲_/are/_knowing that
