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.

21.15 Et qui loquebatur mecum. Vidi civitatem istam ita munitam et ornatam, et non omnes ibi vidi æquales inter se: sed unumquemque perfectum pro modo suo. Mensuram arundineam auream. Id est, divinam Scripturam Dei sapientia compositam, quæ tangit et illustrat corda fidelium. Ut metiretur civitatem et portas ejus. Id est, secundum mensuram daret etiam minoribus intelligentiam ipsarum Scripturarum. In quadro posita est. Quatuor latera, fides, spes, charitas, operatio, quæ sunt æqualia, quia quantum quis credit, tantum sperat: quantum sperat, tantum diligit: quantum diligit, tantum operatur. In quadro ergo, quia robusta fide, longanimis spe, ampla charitate, efficax opere. Vel quatuor latera sunt quatuor principales virtutes, quarum una non debet aliam excedere. In homine ergo est prudentia appetendi boni et vitandi mali, quam sequitur temperantia, ut a voluptatibus homo se retrahat: post hæc est fortitudo, ut quod intelligit, operetur: dehinc justitia, ut sic suos actus temperet, ne nimis justus vel sapiens sibi videatur. Per stadia. Stadium est locus et cursus et mensura, et octo faciunt milliare, notat autem tendentes ad bravium. Duodecim millia. Hi perfecti sunt in fide Trinitatis ex quatuor mundi partibus.
21.15 And who loquebatur mecum. Vidi civitatem istam ita munitam and ornatam, and not/no everyone there I_saw æquales between se: but unumquemque perfectum for modo his_own. Mensuram arundineam auream. That it_is, divinam Scripturam of_God sapientia compositam, which tangit and illustrat corda fidelium. Ut metiretur civitatem and portas his. That it_is, after/second mensuram would_give also minoribus intelligentiam ipsarum Scripturarum. In quadro posita it_is. Quatuor latera, fides, spes, charitas, operatio, which are æqualia, because quantum who/any he_believes, only sperat: quantum sperat, only diligit: quantum diligit, only operatur. In quadro therefore, because robusta fide, longanimis spe, ampla charitate, efficax opere. Vel four latera are four principales virtutes, quarum una not/no debet aliam excedere. In homine therefore it_is prudentia appetendi boni and vitandi mali, how follows temperantia, as from voluptatibus human se retrahat: after these_things it_is fortitudo, as that intelligit, operetur: dehinc justitia, as so suos actus temperet, not nimis justus or sapiens sibi videatur. Per stadia. Stadium it_is locus and cursus and mensura, and octo faciunt milliare, notat however tendentes to bravium. Duodecim millia. They perfecti are in fide Trinitatis from four mundi partibus.

τοὺς πυλῶνας αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς
the gates ˱of˲_it and the wall ˱of˲_it
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, people in this culture conventionally referred to cities by using feminine pronouns. Your language may use a different gender. You could also use a noun and say “that city.” Alternate translation: [its gates and its wall] or [the gates and wall of that city]
