UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

ἐὰν οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀκούει ἡμῶν

if ˱we˲_/have/_known that ˱he˲_/is/_hearing ˱from˲_us

John is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a possibility if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what John is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “since we know that he listens to us”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀκούει ἡμῶν

˱he˲_/is/_hearing ˱from˲_us

As in 5:14, the word listens is an idiom. See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: “he is willing to give us what we ask for”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀκούει ἡμῶν

˱he˲_/is/_hearing ˱from˲_us

It may be helpful to repeat the condition that John specifies in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “he is inclined to give us what we ask for if it is according to his will”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀκούει & αὐτοῦ

˱he˲_/is/_hearing & him

The pronouns he and him refer to God in this verse. Consider whether it might be more natural in your language to use the name “God” for he and to say him later in the verse.
