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.

6.49 Supra terram, etc. Diabolus mundum qui in maligno positus est super terram ædificat, quia ad terrenorum amorem trahit. Sine fundamento ædificat, quia peccatum in propria natura non subsistit, quia malum substantia non est, quod tamen ubicunque fit in bona natura coalescit vel sine fundamento, id est sine fundo. Sicut ergo qui in puteo mergitur, putei in fundo retinetur, sic anima lapsa quasi in quodam loco fundi consistit, si in aliqua peccati mensura se retinet. Sed cum peccato in quo labitur non potest esse contenta, dum ad deteriora quotidie ducitur, quasi in puteo quo concidit fundum quo figatur non invenit. Concidit et facta est ruina, etc. Omnis conscientia, quæ spe fixa in Deum non permanet, in tentationibus non valet persistere, et tanto plus agitur, quanto plus in illis quæ mundi sunt a superioribus disjungitur. Et vere omnes mali vel ficte boni ingruente qualibet tentatione, pejores fiunt.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
Jesus uses the word But to draw a strong contrast to the previous person who built with a foundation. Alternate translation: [However]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ & ἀκούσας καὶ μὴ ποιήσας
the_‹one› & /having/_heard and not /having/_done
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from 6:47. Alternate translation: [anyone who hears my teachings but does not put them into practice]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὅμοιός ἐστιν
similar is
Jesus says this to introduce the simile that follows in the rest of the verse.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν
˱to˲_/a/_man /having/_built /a/_house
Here Jesus is using man in the generic sense. Alternate translation: [a person who built a house]
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν χωρὶς θεμελίου
on the ground without /a/_foundation
The phrase on the ground without a foundation refers to the same method of building as in 6:48. You could describe this more fully in your translation. Alternatively, if the people of your culture would not be familiar with that building method, you could use the same image for creating a stable building that you used there in your translation. Alternate translation: [without digging down first to create a foundation]
ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός
˱to˲_which dashed_against the flood
In this context, the word flowed indicates violent impact. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [The floodwaters crashed against it]
συνέπεσεν
˱it˲_fell_in
Alternate translation: [it fell down] or [it came apart]
ἐγένετο τὸ ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα
became the burst ¬the ˱of˲_house that great
Your language may require you to say what was responsible for the ruin of the house. Alternate translation: [the floodwaters completely demolished that house]
