OET (OET-LV) And everyone which having the this hope in him, is_purifying himself, as that one is pure.

OET (OET-RV) Everyone who trusts their future to him needs to purify themself just like he is pure.

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 3:1–3

Read 3:1–3 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: John is saying that we should be living pure lives now because when Christ returns we will be pure like him.

3:3a

And everyone who has this hope in Him

this hope in Him: (Pronoun Reference) This refers to the expectation of becoming like Christ as mentioned in the last verse.

hope: (Biblical Term) In the New Testament this means “to look forward eagerly to something which you are certain will happen.” This is different from the common use of “hope” in modern English, where it means “to be unsure about whether something will happen which you are looking forward to.”

3:3b

purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.

purifies himself: (Logical Relationship) Because of the way John connects his statements here, this has the force of an exhortation, “he should purify himself.” See JB, LB.

purifies: (Tense) The Greek tense here indicates a continuous process of keeping oneself free from sin, rather than a single act of purification.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

πᾶς ὁ ἔχων τὴν ἐλπίδα ταύτην ἐπ’ αὐτῷ

everyone ¬which having (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί πᾶς ὁ ἔχων τήν ἐλπίδα ταύτην ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἁγνίζει ἑαυτόν καθώς ἐκεῖνος ἁγνός ἐστίν)

The pronoun him here does not refer to everyone; it refers to Jesus. The expression this hope refers to the hope that John describes in the previous verse, of seeing Jesus as he is. Alternate translation: [everyone who hopes to see Jesus as he really is]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῷ & ἐκεῖνος

him & that_‹one›

These pronouns refer to Jesus. Alternate translation: [Jesus … Jesus]

OET (OET-RV) Everyone who trusts their future to him needs to purify themself just like he is pure.
