OET (OET-LV) The one believing in him not is_being_judged.
But the one not believing, has_been_ already _judged, because he_has_ not _believed in the name of_the only_begotten son of_ the _god.
OET (OET-RV) Anyone who trusts in me will not be condemned. However, anyone who doesn’t believe this has already been condemned because he rejected the authority of the only son that God fathered.
οὐ κρίνεται & ἤδη κέκριται
not /is_being/_judged & already /has_been/_judged
The word translated condemn means to judge someone to be guilty and deserving of punishment. See how you translated this term in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “is not judged as guilty … has already been judged as guilty”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
εἰς αὐτὸν
in him
Here, him refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “in Jesus”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν οὐ κρίνεται
the_‹one› believing in him not /is_being/_judged
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, John implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “God does not condemn the one who believes in him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ δὲ μὴ πιστεύων, ἤδη κέκριται
the_‹one› the_‹one› but not believing already /has_been/_judged
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, John implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “but God has already condemned the one who does not believe”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
μὴ πεπίστευκεν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ μονογενοῦς Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ
not not ˱he˲_/has/_believed in the name ˱of˲_the only_begotten Son ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here, name represents Jesus’ identity and everything about him. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he has not believed in the One and Only Son of God”
τοῦ μονογενοῦς Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱of˲_the only_begotten Son ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here and throughout John’s Gospel, the phrase One and Only is a title for Jesus that could refer to: (1) Jesus being unique as the only member of his kind. Alternate translation: “of the Unique Son of God” (2) Jesus being the only child of his Father. Alternate translation: “of the Only Begotten Son of God”

Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ
Son ¬the ˱of˲_God
Son of God is an important title for Jesus.
3:18 As light penetrates and exposes the world’s darkness, God’s judgment on the world has already begun. Those who see this light and recognize the tragedy of their own situation have the responsibility of believing in God’s . . . Son (3:16-17).
OET (OET-LV) The one believing in him not is_being_judged.
