the_‹one› having the Son /is/_having ¬the life the_‹one› not having the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God ¬the life not /is/_having
John speaks of believers who are in a close relationship with Jesus as if Jesus were their possession. If this is confusing in your language, you can use a different expression. Alternate translation: “Anyone who is in a close relationship with the Son has life. Anyone who is not in a close relationship with the Son of God does not have life”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔχει τὴν ζωήν & τὴν ζωὴν οὐκ ἔχει
/is/_having ¬the life & ¬the life not /is/_having
Since both groups of people are physically alive, John means this in a spiritual sense. As in 4:9, he is likely referring to what he calls “eternal life” in 3:15 and 5:11. See how you translated that term in those verses. Alternate translation: “has power from God to live as a new person now and will live forever in God’s presence after death … does not have power from God to live as a new person now and will not live forever in God’s presence after death”

τὸν Υἱὸν & τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the Son & the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God
Son and Son of God are important titles for Jesus that describes his relationship to God.
