Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ
the fullness ˱of˲_him
Here, fullness refers to the grace and truth which John said Jesus was full of in verse 14. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fullness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what he is full of” or “his full amount of grace and truth”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν
we all received
Here, we refers to John and all believers. Your language may require you to mark this form. Alternate translation: “all of we believers have received”
πάντες ἐλάβομεν καὶ χάριν
all received and grace
Here, even indicates that “grace after grace” explains what “his fullness” means. Alternate translation: “have all received, that is, grace” or “have all received, namely, grace”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος
grace for grace
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “kind act after kind act”
χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος
grace for grace
Here, after could mean: (1) the second “grace” replaces the first “grace,” which is the most common use for this word. This meaning could indicate that the first “grace” refers to “the law” and the second “grace” refers to “Grace and truth” in the next verse. Alternate translation: “grace in place of grace” or “grace instead of grace” (2) the second “grace” is in addition to the first “grace.” Alternate translation: “grace in addition to” or “grace upon grace”
1:1-18 The beginning of this prologue (1:1-5) might be a poem or hymn sung by the earliest Christians. The prologue’s themes—the coming of the light into the world, the rejection of the light, and its gift of new life to believers—prepares readers for the story that follows.
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.
