John 10:18

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
World English Bible (WEB)
No man{G3762} taketh{G142}{(G5719)} it{G846} from{G575} me{G1700}, but{G235} I{G1473} lay{G5087} it{G846} down{G5087}{(G5719)} of{G575} myself{G1683}. I have{G2192}{(G5719)} power{G1849} to lay{G5087} it{G846} down{G5087}{(G5629)}, and{G2532} I have{G2192}{(G5719)} power{G1849} to take{G2983}{(G5629)} it{G846} again{G3825}. This{G5026} commandment{G1785} have I received{G2983}{(G5627)} of{G3844} my{G3450} Father{G3962}.
Strong's King James
(18) Nobody has taken it away from Me rather I lay it down Myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received by My Abba."
The F.O.G*
[18] "No one takes My life from Me - I lay it down of My own choice. I have the authority to lay it down and the power to take it up again. This command I received from My Father - it's part of Our eternal plan."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.’
Young's Literal Translation
