OET (OET-LV) Therefore the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) said to_them:
Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, if not you_all_may_eat the flesh of_the son of_ the _Man, and you_all_may_drink of_him the blood, you_all_are_ not _having life in yourselves.
OET (OET-RV) So Yeshua explained, “Indeed if you don’t eat my flesh and drink my blood, you aren’t truly alive!
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν
truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
φάγητε τὴν σάρκα τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα
˱you_all˲_/may/_eat the flesh ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man and ˱you_all˲_/may/_drink ˱of˲_him the blood
Here Jesus is using the phrases eat the flesh and drink his blood. Just as people need to eat and drink in order to live, people need to trust Jesus in order to have eternal life. However, the Jews did not understand this. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
φάγητε τὴν σάρκα τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα
˱you_all˲_/may/_eat the flesh ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man and ˱you_all˲_/may/_drink ˱of˲_him the blood
These two phrases, eat the flesh and drink his blood, mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that trusting in Jesus is the only way to have eternal life. Because Jesus’ flesh and blood are important concepts, do not combine them. Instead, you could communicate the emphasis in a way that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [you would indeed eat the flesh of the Son of Man and would indeed drink his blood]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα
˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man and ˱you_all˲_/may/_drink ˱of˲_him the blood
Jesus is speaking of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person, as in the UST.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου
˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man
See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐκ ἔχετε ζωὴν
not ˱you_all˲_/are/_having life
Here, life refers to eternal life. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [you do not have eternal life]
6:1-71 Each story in this chapter uses the setting of the Passover Festival (6:4) to communicate a deeper meaning.

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.
