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.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι & εἰσιν
these ¬the words & are
God is using the term word to mean the statement that he has just made by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I have just said is”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
πιστοὶ καὶ ἀληθινοί
faithful and true
The terms trustworthy and true mean similar things. God on the throne is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “entirely trustworthy”
