OET (OET-RV) because everyone who does evil things hates the light and doesn’t come to the light so that their actions won’t be exposed.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
For here indicates another reason why men love the darkness, as stated in the previous verse. People who do evil things hate the light. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [This is because]
πᾶς & ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων
everyone & ¬which evil doing
This phrase refers to someone who habitually does evil things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [everyone who habitually does evil]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ φῶς, καὶ & πρὸς τὸ φῶς
the light and & to the light
See how you translated the light in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [Jesus, who revealed the true and good things of God, and … to Jesus]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
τὸ φῶς, καὶ & πρὸς τὸ φῶς
the light and & to the light
Jesus is speaking about himself in the third person. If your language does not allow people to speak of themselves in the third person, you may need to specify who the light is. Alternate translation: [me, the light, and … to me]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἵνα μὴ ἐλεγχθῇ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ
in_order_that not /may_be/_rebuked the works ˱of˲_him
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so that the light might not expose his deeds]
3:16-21 Because there are no quotation marks around Jesus’ speech in the Greek text, translators debate where Jesus’ speech ends and John’s commentary begins; 3:16-21 might be John’s commentary.
OET (OET-LV) For/Because everyone which doing evil, is_hating the light, and is_ not _coming to the light, in_order_that the works of_him may_be_ not _rebuked.
OET (OET-RV) because everyone who does evil things hates the light and doesn’t come to the light so that their actions won’t be exposed.
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.
