Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἵνα ἐν ἐμοὶ εἰρήνην ἔχητε
in_order_that in me peace ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_having
If your language does not use an abstract noun for this idea, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun peace in another way. Alternate translation: “so that you might experience a peaceful feeling in me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰρήνην ἔχητε & θλῖψιν ἔχετε
peace ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_having & tribulation ˱you_all˲_/are/_having
Here, Jesus speaks of peace and troubles as if they were objects that someone can possess. If these uses of peace and troubles might confuse your readers, you could use different expressions. Alternate translation: “you might be peaceful … you experience troubles”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν ἐμοὶ
in me
Here, in me refers to being united with Jesus or having a close relationship with him. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “because of your relationship with me”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐγὼ νενίκηκα τὸν κόσμον
I /have/_overcome the world
Here Jesus uses world to refer to the people in the world who oppose God. See how you translated world in 14:17.
16:33 But take heart, because I have overcome the world: “Such a saying as this is worthy to be carried from Rome to Jerusalem on one’s knees” (Martin Luther). Jesus’ final words did not chastise but brought comfort. Jesus promised peace (14:27) and joy (16:20, 22). Now he added that his disciples can discover peace even when surrounded by threats; they can be tranquil despite those who are hostile to their faith.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
