LUKE 6:43 Parallel Verse View

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 as a tool 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.

ClVg Non est enim arbor bona, quæ facit fructus malos: neque arbor mala, faciens fructum bonum.[fn]
(Not/No it_is because arbor good(s), which he_does fruit I_prefers: nor arbor evil, making fruit good. )

6.43 Non est arbor, etc. Arbor bona vel mala, non natura, quæ a Deo in omnibus bona creata est, sed bona vel mala voluntas. Fructus, opera, quæ nec bona malæ voluntatis possunt esse, nec mala bonæ voluntatis. Neque arbor. Si veram vis habere justitiam et non fictam, quæ verbis ostendis, factis imple, ut sis bona arbor, et bonis fructibus orneris. Quia etsi fingat hypocrita, non est bonus qui facit opera mala, et si reprehendit insontem, non ideo malus est qui facit opera bona. Et nota quod de manifestis hic agitur.

6.43 Not/No it_is arbor, etc. Arbor good(s) or evil, not/no natura, which from to_God in/into/on to_all good(s) creata it_is, but good(s) or evil voluntas. Fructus, works, which but_not good(s) malæ of_will they_can esse, but_not evil bonæ of_will. Neither arbor. When/But_if veram you_want to_have justice and not/no fictam, which with_words shows, deeds/activities imple, as you_are good(s) arbor, and good fruits orneris. Because even_though fingat hypocrita, not/no it_is good/kind/gracious who he_does works evil, and when/but_if reprehendit insontem, not/no therefore/for_that_reason malus it_is who he_does works good(s). And note that from/about manifestis this/here actsur.
