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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἂν

truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all whoever ¬wishfully

Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [I can assure you that whoever]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μὴ δέξηται τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

not /may/_receive the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

See how you decided to translate the phrase the kingdom of God in 4:43. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: [does not let God rule over him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς παιδίον

as /a/_little_child

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the basis of this comparison. Alternate translation: [with trust and humility as a child]

οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν

by_no_means not /may/_come_in into it

Alternate translation: [will not let God rule over him at all]
