John 17:11

17:11 I ¹  am no longer in the world, but ²  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ³  in your name ⁴  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ⁵ 

Isaiah 45:21

45:21 Tell me! Present the evidence! ⁶ 

Let them consult with one another!

Who predicted this in the past?

Who announced it beforehand?

Was it not I, the Lord?

I have no peer, there is no God but me,

a God who vindicates and delivers; ⁷ 

there is none but me.

Romans 3:26

3:26 This was ⁸  also to demonstrate ⁹  his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just ¹⁰  and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness. ¹¹ 

[17:11]  ¹ tn Grk And I.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:11]  ² tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

[17:11]  ³ tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

[17:11]  ⁴ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:11]  ⁵ tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.

[45:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “Declare! Bring near!”; NASB “Declare and set forth your case.” See 41:21.

[45:21]  ⁷ tn Or “a righteous God and deliverer”; NASB, NIV, NRSV “a righteous God and a Savior.”

[3:26]  ⁸ tn The words “This was” have been repeated from the previous verse to clarify that this is a continuation of that thought. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:26]  ⁹ tn Grk “toward a demonstration,” repeating and expanding the purpose of God’s action in v. 25a.

[3:26]  ¹⁰ tn Or “righteous.”

[3:26]  ¹¹ tn Or “of the one who has faith in Jesus.” See note on “faithfulness of Jesus Christ” in v. 22 for the rationale behind the translation “Jesus’ faithfulness.”
