You_will_be_loving the neighbour of_you as yourself, well you_all_are_doing.

OET (OET-RV) However if you are obeying the golden law, then when you love your neighbour as yourself, you’ll be doing well according to the scriptures.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

εἰ μέντοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικόν κατά τήν Γραφήν Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ ὡς σεαυτόν καλῶς ποιεῖτε)

James is using these words to introduce a contrast with what he said in [2:6](../02/06.md), “you have dishonored the poor,” meaning “you have treated rich people much better than you have treated poor people.” Alternate translation: [But if, instead of favoring rich people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

νόμον & βασιλικὸν

˓the˒_law & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικόν κατά τήν Γραφήν Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ ὡς σεαυτόν καλῶς ποιεῖτε)

There are two possible reasons for why James describes the law that he quotes here from [Leviticus 19:18](../lev/19/18.md) as royal. (1) When Jesus came proclaiming the kingdom of God, he said that this law was one of two that summed up all of the other laws and guided life in the kingdom of God. (The other law was to love God with all of one’s heart, soul, mind, and strength.) Alternate translation: [the law that guides life in the kingdom of God] (2) James may say that this law is royal because God, the true king, gave it to people. Alternate translation: [God’s law]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικόν κατά τήν Γραφήν Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ ὡς σεαυτόν καλῶς ποιεῖτε)

Here the law of Moses is using a future statement to give a command. Alternate translation: [You are to love your neighbor as you love yourself]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικόν κατά τήν Γραφήν Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ ὡς σεαυτόν καλῶς ποιεῖτε)

The words You, your, and yourself are singular in this quotation because, even though Moses gave this law to the Israelites as a group, each individual person was expected to obey it. So in your translation, use the singular forms of “You,” “your,” and “yourself” if your language marks that distinction.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸν πλησίον σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ μέντοι νόμον τελεῖτε βασιλικόν κατά τήν Γραφήν Ἀγαπήσεις τόν πλησίον σοῦ ὡς σεαυτόν καλῶς ποιεῖτε)

This is an idiom. It does not mean only someone who lives nearby. Alternate translation: [other people] or [anyone you encounter]

καλῶς ποιεῖτε

well ˱you_all˲_˓are˒_doing

Alternate translation: [you are doing what God wants you to do]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:8 Christians are to obey (literally fulfill) the royal law, just as Jesus fulfilled the law by his coming (Matt 5:17) and his teaching (Matt 22:34-40).
• The law is called royal because it belongs to the Kingdom (Jas 2:5) and was articulated by our glorious Lord (King).
• as found in the Scriptures: James changes from a general reference to the law to a specific written commandment from the holiness code (Lev 19). It specifies how our love for God is to be expressed in relationships with other people (see Lev 19:18; Deut 6:5).
• “Love your neighbor as yourself”: This quotation from Lev 19:18 requires identifying with the neighbor as though the neighbor were yourself.

OET (OET-RV) However if you are obeying the golden law, then when you love your neighbour as yourself, you’ll be doing well according to the scriptures.

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