Father

Father is an important title for God.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ

where am I

Here Jesus uses am in the present tense to refer to something that will happen in the near future. If this is confusing in your language, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: “where I will soon be”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ

where am I

Jesus uses where I am to refer to heaven. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “where I am in heaven”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου

before /the/_foundation ˱of˲_/the/_world

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of foundation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “before we founded the world”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

κόσμου

˱of˲_/the/_world

Here, world refers to the universe that God created. It does not refer only to the people in the world or only to the earth. Alternate translation: “the whole universe”
