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.

OET (OET-RV) But maybe you’re thinking that you can judge others doing these things and yet somehow escape God’s judgement when you do them yourself?
OET-LV But you_are_counting this, Oh person, you judging the ones the such things practicing, and doing them yourself, that you will_be_escaping the judgment of_ the _god?
SR-GNT Λογίζῃ δὲ τοῦτο, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, ὁ κρίνων τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας, καὶ ποιῶν αὐτά, ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρίμα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ; ‡
(Logizaʸ de touto, ō anthrōpe, ho krinōn tous ta toiauta prassontas, kai poiōn auta, hoti su ekfeuxaʸ to krima tou ˚Theou;)

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
2:1-5 You is singular in the Greek. Here, the you is a hypothetical complacent Jew, who feels superior to Gentiles and in no danger of judgment. Paul adopts a popular Hellenistic style called a diatribe, in which a writer tries to win over an audience to his views by portraying a debate between himself and a hypothetical opponent.
• these very same things: Paul’s point is that Jews, like Gentiles, turn from God’s revelation to go their own way.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
λογίζῃ δὲ τοῦτο, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, ὁ κρίνων τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας, καὶ ποιῶν αὐτά, ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ?
˱you˲_/are/_reckoning but this O person you judging the_‹ones› ¬the such_‹things› practicing and doing them_‹yourself› that you /will_be/_escaping the judgment ¬the ˱of˲_God
Paul is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize that these judgmental people should know that God will finally judge them. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [But you should not think, O man, who judges those who are practicing such things and you are doing the same things, that you will escape from the judgment of God!]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
τοῦτο
this
The pronoun this refers to the final clause of this verse that you will escape from the judgment of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [this result]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
τοῦτο, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, ὁ κρίνων τοὺς τὰ τοιαῦτα πράσσοντας, καὶ ποιῶν αὐτά, ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ
this O person you judging the_‹ones› ¬the such_‹things› practicing and doing them_‹yourself› that you /will_be/_escaping the judgment ¬the ˱of˲_God
If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: [that you will escape from the judgment of God, O man, who judges those who are practicing such things and you are doing the same things]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ὦ ἄνθρωπε
O person
See how you translated this phrase in 2:1.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰ τοιαῦτα & αὐτά
¬the such_‹things› & them_‹yourself›
The phrases such things and the same things refer to the litany of “the things that are not proper” in 1:28–32. See how you translated such things in 2:2 and the same things in 2:1.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ὅτι σὺ ἐκφεύξῃ τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ
that you /will_be/_escaping the judgment ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here Paul speaks of judgment as if it were a person from whom someone could escape. Paul means that no one can avoid God’s judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that you will not prevent God’s judgment]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ
the judgment ¬the ˱of˲_God
See how you translated this phrase in 2:2.
