This page contains selected passages from the Open English Translation with the passage from the OET Readers’ Version on the left, and the OET Literal Version on the right. Minimal commentary is included (only some headings)—our aim is simply to conveniently list the passages in one place so that our readers can make up their own minds about what the writer of the passage was intending to communicate.
14 After Yohan had been arrested, Yeshua went back up to Galilee announcing the good news from God 15 [ref]saying, “The promised time is here, and God’s kingdom is now near. Turn from your sins and believe this good news.”
3 That was the time when Yohan-the-immerser started preaching in the Yudean wilderness 2 telling everyone,[ref] “Turn from your sins because the kingdom of heavens is close.
3 And in the those days Yōannaʸs the immerser is_arriving, proclaiming in the wilderness of_ the _Youdaia 2 saying:
Be_repenting, because/for the kingdom of_the heavens has_neared.
8 Turning from your sins should be accompanied by evidence that you’ve changed.
17 [ref]From then onwards, Yeshua started preaching and telling people to turn from their sins because the kingdom of heavens is close.
13 [ref]So go and find out the meaning of this: I like mercy not sacrifice. Because it’s sinners that I came to call, not those considered righteous.”
41 [ref]The inhabitants of Nineveh will stand up and condemn this generation on judgement day, because they turned from their sins when Yonah preached, and look, now there’s one here who’s greater than Yonah.
32 I didn’t come to call those who’re ‘righteous’, but to call sinners to come and turn away from disobeying God.”
3 No, I’m telling you all, but on the other hand if you don’t turn from your own disobedience and request forgiveness, you all will perish likewise. 4 What about those eighteen who were killed when the Siloam tower collapsed on them. Do you think they had bigger debts than all the people living in Yerushalem? 5 No, I’m telling you all that if you don’t turn from your own disobedience and request forgiveness, you all will perish likewise.”
If a fellow-believer disobeys God, scold them, and then if they stop and request forgiveness, forgive them.
46 “It was written that the messiah would suffer and to come back to life on the third day, 47 and that his name will be proclaimed as the authority to forgive the sins of the people when they repent—people from every country beginning here in Yerushalem.
38 Peter responded, “Turn away from your sins and each one of you needs to be immersed by the authority of Yeshua the messiah. Then your sins will be forgiven and you all will receive the gift of the holy spirit,
31 But God honoured this way-maker and saviour by placing him in the place of honour, to encourage Israel to repent and then to forgive their sins.
18 When the group heard all this, they had no objections and they praised God, saying, “It seems that God has also allowed the pagans to repent and live.”
21 I explained to both Jews and Greeks how they needed to turn their backs on their sins and towards God with faith in our master Yeshua the messiah.
19 “So then, King Agrippa, I couldn’t disobey that vision 20 so I preached first to those in Damascus and then in Yerushalem and all of Yudea, and then in the towns of the non-Jews. I preached about turning from their sins and turning back to God, and then actually living like people who had repented.
4 Or maybe you’re taking advantage of God’s kindness and patience without realising that his kindness was meant to lead you towards repentance?
9 Anyway, now I’m happy, not that it made you sad, but because that sadness led to turning away from your sin because that sorrow was according to God’s values so you didn’t lose anything because of us. 10 Because sorrow according to God’s values brings repentance that leads to salvation without regrets, but the world’s sorrow leads to death.
20 You see, I’m worried that when I come, I might not find you living how I’d want, and you all might not find me how you’d want. I’m worried that I might find strife and jealousy, anger and selfish ambition, slander and gossip, and conceit and disturbances. 21 I’m worried that when I come, God will humble me there with you all, and I might be upset about many who’ve sinned in the past and haven’t repented from the impurity and sexual immorality and self-centred living that they practiced.
25 We should politely point out the wrongs of those opposing us and perhaps God might bring them to repentance and the knowledge of the truth.
9 The Lord isn’t slow in fulfilling his promise as some consider slowness, but is patient toward you—not wanting anyone to perish but rather wanting everyone to come to repentance.
6 So then, having left the basics of the messiah’s message, we should move on towards maturity—not repeating the foundations of repenting from useless religious actions and faith in God,
6 Therefore having_left the of_the beginning of_the chosen_one/messiah message, to the perfection we _may_be_being_brought, not again a_foundation laying_down of_repentance from dead works, and faith in god,
5 So now, you need to remember where you’ve fallen from, and repent and repeat how you behaved at the beginning, but if you don’t, I’ll come to you and if you don’t repent, I’ll remove your lampstand from its place.
3 Remember how you first listened to and internalised God’s message, and how you obeyed it and repented. If you don’t wake up soon, I’ll come unexpectedly—you’ll certainly not know in advance when I’ll be coming.[ref]
19 I tell off and discipline those that I love, so be earnest and turn away from your disobedience.[ref]
