Even scholars who do not entirely support every word choice in this translation are enthusiastic about its very informative explanatory notes.

=== Where the Conservative Bible Project Is Preferable to the NET ===

The Conservative Bible Project translates [[John 1-7 (Translated)#1:5|John 1:5]] as "In the darkness shines the light, and the darkness could not snuff it out." The explanatory notes here explain that:

+

{{cquote|This powerful verse, John 1:5, has several superb possibilities today, including "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness succumbed [or yielded] to it."}}

+

The NET is weaker with its rendition of John 1:5: "And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it." This translation nearly implies that darkness could master the light one day, which is of course impossible.

+

=== Where both versions agree ===

The NET fully agrees with the [[Conservative Bible Project]] that the [[Adulteress story]] is not authentic:

{{cquote|This entire section, 7:53-8:11, traditionally known as the pericope adulterae, is not contained in the earliest and best mss and was almost certainly not an original part of the [[Gospel of John]]. Among modern commentators and textual critics, it is a foregone conclusion that the section is not original but represents a later addition to the text of the Gospel.<ref>https://netbible.org/bible/John+7 n.140</ref>}}
