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.

12:1-17 Satan (pictured as a dragon) plots to challenge God’s purposes but is thwarted. Having failed in direct confrontation with God and Christ, he attempts to attack God’s people. Three brief scenes present an overview of the story (12:1-6), followed by elaborations of the war in heaven (12:7-9) and the war on earth (12:13-17).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ αἷμα
the blood
This could mean: (1) the actual blood that Jesus offered as a sacrifice for sin. In that case, you could use the word for “blood” in your language with literal meaning. (2) the sacrificial death of Jesus by association with the blood that Jesus shed when he died. Alternate translation: [the sacrificial death]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον τῆς μαρτυρίας αὐτῶν
the word ˱of˲_the testimony ˱of˲_them
The voice is using the term word to indicate that these believers gave their testimony to Jesus by speaking words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the testimony that they spoke]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸν λόγον τῆς μαρτυρίας αὐτῶν
the word ˱of˲_the testimony ˱of˲_them
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of word, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [by what they said when they testified to others about Jesus]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
οὐκ ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν ἄχρι θανάτου
not ˱they˲_loved the life ˱of˲_them until death
This expression means that these believers did not love their lives so much they would refuse death even if they needed to die in order to remain faithful to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they did not love their lives so much that they would not die for Jesus]
