UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: headings

If you are using section headings, you could put one here before verse 28. Suggested heading: “Children of God”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ νῦν

and now

John uses the expression And now to introduce a new part of the letter, in which he will talk about being children of God and about the return of Jesus. In your translation, you could use a word, phrase, or other method that is natural in your language for introducing a new topic.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τεκνία

little_children

John readdresses the recipients as he begins a new section of the letter. See how you translated little children in 2:1. Alternate translation: “you dear believers who are under my care”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μένετε ἐν αὐτῷ

/be/_remaining in him

See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. In this instance, John seems to be using the expression in the same way that he has just used it in 2:27. See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: “continue to have a close relationship with him”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῷ & ἐὰν φανερωθῇ & ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ & αὐτοῦ

him & if ˱he˲_/may_be/_revealed & because_of him & ˱of˲_him

The pronouns him, he, and his refer to Jesus in this verse, since John speaks of his coming or return. Consider whether it might be helpful to your readers or more natural in your language to use the name “Jesus” in one or more of these instances.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐὰν φανερωθῇ

if ˱he˲_/may_be/_revealed

See the discussion of the term “appear” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. Here the term could have either an active or a passive meaning. In either case, John is not saying that Jesus will only appear to return. He is saying that Jesus will return actually and physically. (1) If the meaning is active, John is speaking of the act of Jesus physically returning to earth. Alternate translation: “when Jesus returns” (2) If the meaning is passive, John is speaking of God revealing Jesus to the world as its true king. Alternate translation: “when Jesus is revealed” or “when God brings Jesus”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

σχῶμεν παρρησίαν, καὶ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶμεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

˱we˲_/may/_have boldness and not ˱we˲_/may_be/_ashamed because_of him

These two phrases mean similar things. John is likely using the repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases into an emphatic expression. Alternate translation: “we may be completely confident at his coming”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

σχῶμεν παρρησίαν

˱we˲_/may/_have boldness

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun boldness with an adjective. Alternate translation: “we may be bold”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

μὴ αἰσχυνθῶμεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

not ˱we˲_/may_be/_ashamed because_of him

John is using the word him, meaning Jesus, to mean the presence of Jesus. Alternate translation: “we will not be ashamed to be in his presence”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ αἰσχυνθῶμεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

not ˱we˲_/may_be/_ashamed because_of him

If your language does not use this passive form, you can express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “we will not be ashamed to be in his presence”
