Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀναγεγεννημένοι
/having_been/_born_again
See how you translated born again in 1:3.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐκ ἐκ σπορᾶς φθαρτῆς
not of seed perishable
The word seed usually refers to either the seed of a plant or the sperm cell of a man, which is used to produce a baby. However, here Peter uses seed as a metaphor. It could refer to: (1) the word of God mentioned later in the verse. In this case, Peter is saying what the word of God is not. Alternate translation: “not by means of a human message that can perish” (2) physical human birth, in which case the meaning is similar to the idea expressed in John 1:13. Alternate translation: “not by means of mortal physical birth”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀφθάρτου
˱of˲_indestructible
Peter is leaving out a word that a phrase would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply the word from the previous phrase. Alternate translation: “from imperishable seed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
λόγου ζῶντος Θεοῦ, καὶ μένοντος
/the/_word living ˱of˲_God and remaining
Here Peter uses word to describe the gospel message that came from God and was proclaimed to Peter’s readers by using words. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God’s living and enduring message about Jesus”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ζῶντος & καὶ μένοντος
living & and remaining
Here, living and enduring mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that God’s word is permanent. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you can use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “perpetually enduring”
