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.

See how you translated Beloved in 2:7. Alternate translation: “You people whom I love”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν, ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ γεγέννηται

everyone ¬which loving from ¬the God /has_been/_born
