Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐγὼ φῶς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐλήλυθα
I ˱as˲_/a/_light into the world /have/_come
Here Jesus uses light to refer to himself. See how you translated light in 8:12. Alternate translation: “I have come as the one who reveals God’s truth and goodness to the world”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
εἰς τὸν κόσμον
into the world
Here, world refers to the people who live in it. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the people living in the world”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ μὴ μείνῃ
in the darkness not /may/_remain
Here Jesus uses darkness to refer to what is false and evil. See how you translated darkness in 12:35 and also see the discussion of light and darkness in the General Notes for Chapter 1. Alternate translation: “might not remain in sin and evil”
12:1-50 Two stories build simultaneously. A growing number of people are praising Jesus (this climaxes in 12:12-13), and the authorities are increasingly determined to arrest him and put him to death.
• John records three events that occurred just days prior to Passover (12:1-11, 12-19, 20-36). Then he explains why most of the people refused to believe and details Jesus’ final public appeal (12:37-50).
OET (OET-LV) I have_come into the world as_a_light, in_order_that everyone which believing in me, in the darkness may_ not _remain.
OET (OET-RV) I came into this world as light so that anyone who believes in me won’t have darkness residing in them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
