OET (OET-LV) But if we_may_be_walking in the light as he is in the light, we_are_having fellowship with one_another, and the blood of_Yaʸsous the son of_him, is_cleansing us from all sin.

OET (OET-RV) But if we’re walking in the light, just like he walks in the light, then we’ll get along well with each other, and his son Yeshua’s blood is removing the consequences of all our sins.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:5–2:27: Live pure lives and remain united with God

Read 1:5–2:27 carefully.

Section Theme: In this section John is appealing to his readers to live morally pure lives and to remain united with God. He gives the following reasons for this:

1:5–2:2

God has made it possible for us to be morally pure just as he is.

2:3–11

We ought to love our fellow Christians as Christ did.

2:12–27

The readers ought not to love the non-Christian world but they should live according to the truth that God has shown to them.

Paragraph 1:5–10

Read 1:5–10 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: In the previous verses John expresses the desire that his readers should share the fellowship which he has with God. In 1:5–10 he makes the point that God is morally pure and holy, and therefore those who sin cannot have fellowship with God unless they confess their sins and God forgives them. His purpose is to persuade his readers to confess their sins.

1:7a

But if we walk in the light

if we…: (Expression) Here John is giving a positive contrast to the last verse, showing what Christians should be doing. Therefore it may be appropriate to use “we” here even if you have used “somebody” in 1:6.

walk in the light: (Metaphor) This means behaving consistently with what God has revealed about his nature and his will. This is clearly contrasted with “walk in the darkness” in the previous verse.

1:7b

as He is in the light,

He is in the light: (Meaning) Notice the difference from 1:5. Here John says that God is in the light. This is focusing on his actions, which are always good and pure and in accordance with his nature.

1:7c

we have fellowship with one another,

fellowship with one another: (Focus) The obvious consequence of us walking in the light would be that we would have fellowship with God. But here John is focusing on the fact that doing God’s will causes us to be united with all God’s people. He is warning his readers against the false teachers, who led their followers to break away from fellowship with other Christians.

1:7d

and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us

blood of Jesus His Son: (Meaning) This term is often used in the N.T. to refer to Jesus’ violent death, which removes our sin in the same way that the blood of the sacrificed animals did in the O.T.

cleanses: (Metaphor) This is a metaphor for removing from us all that would make us unacceptable to God, that is, all evil. Note that here John is referring to the process that continues throughout our Christian lives.

1:7e

from all sin.

John is using the word blood here to refer to the sacrificial death of Jesus by association with the blood that Jesus shed when he died for our sins. Alternate translation: [the sacrificial death of Jesus]

Note 8 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

OET (OET-LV) But if we_may_be_walking in the light as he is in the light, we_are_having fellowship with one_another, and the blood of_Yaʸsous the son of_him, is_cleansing us from all sin.

OET (OET-RV) But if we’re walking in the light, just like he walks in the light, then we’ll get along well with each other, and his son Yeshua’s blood is removing the consequences of all our sins.

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
