OET (OET-LV) And the world and the desire of_it is_being_passed_away, but the one doing the will of_ the _god is_remaining for the age.

OET (OET-RV) And the world will come to an end along with the desire for it, but the person obeying God’s desires will continue to live.

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 2:15–17

Read 2:15–17 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: Here John is appealing to his readers not to love the evil things of this world.

2:17a

The world is passing away, along with its desires;

(RSV:) And: (Logical Relationship) 2:17 gives a second reason for the appeal in 2:15 not to love the world. It is therefore connected in meaning to 2:15b. It does not follow in meaning from 2:16.

is passing away: (Meaning) John is telling his readers that this world will not last much longer. When Jesus returns to judge the world everything that is evil will be destroyed. The verb is in the present tense here because Jesus is already at work in the world, so the evil is already being destroyed.

its desires: (Meaning) This refers to all the evil ways of the world, such as the wrong attitudes mentioned in 2:16.

2:17b

but whoever does the will of God remains forever.

whoever: (Meaning) As in 2:4, this means “anyone who.” It could also be translated “if anyone,” or “if you.”

does: (Tense) The tense here indicates continuous action, not just doing God’s will once.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ κόσμος

the world

See how you translated the term world in [2:15](../02/15.md). It has a similar meaning in this verse. Alternate translation: [the ungodly value system of the people who do not honor God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ κόσμος παράγεται

the world ˓is_being˒_passed_away

John speaks of the world as if it were leaving. Alternate translation: [the world is ending]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὁ κόσμος παράγεται καί ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ ὁ δέ ποιῶν τό θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ μένει εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

John is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from the previous phrase. Alternate translation: [and its desire is also going away]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ

the desire ˱of˲_it

John is using the possessive form to show that the world is the source of this desire and gives it its character. Alternate translation: [the worldly desire] or [people’s desire for the world] or [the desire that this system of values creates in people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ

the desire ˱of˲_it

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this term by translating this in the plural, since John is referring to all of the different types of desire associated with the world that he described in [2:16](../02/16.md). Alternate translation: [worldly desires] or [the desires that this system of values creates in people]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

˓is˒_remaining for (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὁ κόσμος παράγεται καί ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ ὁ δέ ποιῶν τό θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ μένει εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. Here the word refers to continuing existence. Alternate translation: [will live forever]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

for (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὁ κόσμος παράγεται καί ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ ὁ δέ ποιῶν τό θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ μένει εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

This is an idiom. Consider using an idiom in your language that has this meaning. Alternate translation: [forever]

OET (OET-RV) And the world will come to an end along with the desire for it, but the person obeying God’s desires will continue to live.

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.
