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.

WMBB (Same as above)

MSG ^(13-18)If with heart and soul you’re doing good, do you think you can be stopped? Even if you suffer for it, you’re still better off. Don’t give the opposition a second thought. Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. Keep a clear conscience before God so that when people throw mud at you, none of it will stick. They’ll end up realizing that they’re the ones who need a bath. It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that’s what God wants, than to be punished for doing bad. That’s what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others’ sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all—was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πάσχοιτε διὰ δικαιοσύνην

/might_be/_suffering because_of righteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “you might suffer because you do what is right”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μακάριοι

blessed_‹you_are›

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will cause you to be blessed ones”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτῶν, μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ ταραχθῆτε

the and fear ˱of˲_them neither /be/_afraid nor ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_disturbed

This sentence is a quotation from Isaiah 8:12. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτῶν, μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ ταραχθῆτε

the and fear ˱of˲_them neither /be/_afraid nor ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_disturbed

These two phrases mean the same thing. Peter states the same idea twice in order to emphasize that believers should not be afraid of people who persecute them. If stating the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you could combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “But you should not fear at all what people might do to you”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸν & φόβον αὐτῶν, μὴ φοβηθῆτε

the & fear ˱of˲_them neither /be/_afraid

This could refer to: (1) the fear that unbelievers have. Alternate translation: “you should not fear what they fear” or “you should not fear the same things that they fear” (2) the fear that righteous people have for unbelievers. Alternate translation: “you should not fear them”
