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. |
Read 2:26–27 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.
Paragraph Theme: John finishes this section by repeating his appeal to his readers to live according to the truth which they have been taught and to remain in union with Christ. This is a summary of the section 1:5–2:27.
I have written these things to you
¶ I am warning you(plur)
these things: (Pronoun Reference) This refers to what John has written in 2:18–25.
about those who are trying to deceive you.
that those people who left the churches are trying to deceive you with false teaching about the gospel.
about those who: (Meaning) John was not just writing about these people, he was warning his readers against them.
deceive you: (Meaning) Those who had left the church were trying to deceive the Christians with false teachings about the gospel.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῶν πλανώντων ὑμᾶς
the_‹ones› misleading you_all
John speaks of these people as if they were guides who were leading others in the wrong direction. This is a metaphor for their attempts to get the people to whom John is writing to believe things that are not true. Alternate translation: [those who are deceiving you] or [those who are trying to get you to believe things that are not true]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῶν πλανώντων ὑμᾶς
the_‹ones› misleading you_all
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly in what way these people are leading others astray. Alternate translation: [the people who are leading you astray about Jesus] or [the people who are lying to you about Jesus]
