John 15:22-24 "If I did not come and speak to them, they would not have been holding failure (or: were having no sin or error). But now (at this time) they continue holding nothing which like a specious and deceptive cloak appears in front around their sin (or: they are not continuing to hold that which is put forward to hide the situation concerning their failure; they are not habitually having an excuse or pretense about their deviation, error and miss of the target).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² "If I did not come and speak to them, they would not have been holding failure (or: were having no sin or error). But now (at this time) they continue holding nothing which like a specious and deceptive cloak appears in front around their sin (or: they are not continuing to hold that which is put forward to hide the situation concerning their failure; they are not habitually having an excuse or pretense about their deviation, error and miss of the target). ²³ "The one who by habit hates Me or treats Me with ill-will also continues hating My Father and habitually treats Him with ill-will. ²⁴ "If I did not do (perform; create) the works (actions; deeds) among them or within them – which no one else (or: no other one) did – they were having no sin or error (they had not been holding a failure or a miss of the target). But now (at this time) they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father.
