OET (OET-LV) Not be_marvelling, brothers, if the world is_hating you_all.

OET (OET-RV) And friends, don’t be surprised if the world hates you.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:28–4:6: We should obey God’s commands in order to avoid being ashamed when we meet Christ

Read 2:28–4:6 carefully.

Section Theme: In this section (after the main theme in 2:28–29), John is saying that in order not to be ashamed when we meet Christ we must do the following:

3:1–10

We should live pure and righteous lives as Christ did.

3:11–18

We should love and help our fellow Christians.

3:19–24

We should obey God’s commands to believe in his Son and to love one another.

4:1–6

We should carefully test what teachers say so that we know whether they are speaking for the Holy Spirit.

Paragraph 3:13–15

Read 3:13–15 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: John is saying that our love of one another shows that we are different from non-Christians.

3:13 (Logical Relationship)

This verse is giving the lesson to be learned from 3:11–12, namely that the people of the world will always hate God’s people, just as Cain hated Abel. In your translation you may need to make this link clear by a linking word (like “So” in GNT), or by a phrase (see the Display).

3:13a

So do not be surprised, brothers,

brothers: (Cross-cultural Difference) In all other places in this letter John addresses his readers as “my children,” or “my friends.” He probably calls them his brothers here because he is talking about brotherly love among Christians. In some languages it may sound as if John is referring to two different groups of people, “my children” and “my brothers.” If that is the case in your language you should translate the basic meaning here, “my fellows,” or “my fellow Christians.”

3:13b

if the world hates you.

if the world hates you: (Lexical Problem) John is certain that the world hates Christians. This is not just a possibility. So it may be better to translate this as “that/when the world hates you.” See JB, RSV.

the world: (Multiple Senses) As in 3:1d, this refers to the people of this world. See the note on 3:1d.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

μὴ θαυμάζετε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μή θαυμάζετε ἀδελφοί εἰ μισεῖ ὑμᾶς ὁ κόσμος)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could show the connection between this sentence and the previous one by using a connecting word like “so” or “therefore.” Using the example of Cain, John shows that evil people naturally hate righteous people. Alternate translation: [So do not be surprised]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί

brothers

See how you translated brothers in [2:9](../02/09.md). Alternate translation: [my friends]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰ μισεῖ ὑμᾶς ὁ κόσμος

if ˓is˒_hating you_all the world

John uses world to mean various things in this letter. Here it refers to people who do not honor God and who do not live as God wishes, as in [3:1](../03/01.md). See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: [if ungodly people hate you]
