OET interlinear 1YHN (1JHN) 2:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge

ὅτι

because

In this verse, John is giving the reason why the previous sentence is true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this reason before that statement of result by combining this verse and the previous one into a verse bridge. In order to create a verse bridge, you could begin this verse with “Since” instead of For; you could end it with a comma instead of a period; and you could make it the beginning of the second sentence in the previous verse, putting it before “if anyone loves the world.”
