OET (OET-LV) In this is the love, not that we have_loved the god, but that he loved us, and sent_out the son of_him, an_atonement for the sins of_us.

OET (OET-RV) So this is real love, not us loving God, but God loving us and sending his son to be the sacrifice to clear us of the sentence from our sins.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:7–5:12: We should love one another because of what God has done for us

Read 4:7–5:12 carefully.

Section Theme: In this section John gives two reasons why we should love one another:

4:7–12

God has shown us what true love is by sending his Son to die for us.

4:13–21

God has loved us so much that we have a duty to love others.

At the end of the section, in 5:1–12, he shows how it is believing in Jesus that enables us to both love and obey God.

Paragraph 4:7–10

Read 4:7–10 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: In these verses John urges us to love one another because God showed us how much he loved us by sending his Son to die for us.

4:10a

And love consists in this: not that we loved God,

And love consists in this: (Lexical Problem) In some languages it may not be possible to talk about love without indicating the object of the love. If that is the case in your language you may have to refer to “the right/true way for someone to love others.”

this: (Pronoun Reference) The word this points forward to 4:10b–c where John says that real love is what God showed by sending his Son to this world. However John first states that real love is not what we show by loving God. It may therefore be clearer to restructure the sentence as:

Real love is not what we show by loving God, rather it is what God showed by loving us…

4:10b

but that He loved us

4:10c

and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

and sent: (Logical Relationship) God’s love and his sending his Son are not two independent facts. Sending his Son was the means by which he put his love into action. This relationship may need to be made explicit in your translation. See the Display.

the atoning sacrifice: (Meaning) This is what was referred to in 2:2a. (See the note on that verse.) Here the main point in focus is that by sending Jesus to die, God provided the way for our sins to be forgiven. See GNT.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τούτῳ ἐστὶν ἡ ἀγάπη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ ἐστίν ἡ ἀγάπη οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήκαμεν τόν Θεόν ἀλλʼ ὅτι αὐτός ἠγάπησεν ἡμάς καί ἀπέστειλεν τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ ἱλασμόν περί τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν)

In this means something similar to the idiomatic expression “in this we know” that John uses many times in this letter. Alternate translation: [This is how we have experienced genuine love]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τούτῳ ἐστὶν ἡ ἀγάπη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ ἐστίν ἡ ἀγάπη οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήκαμεν τόν Θεόν ἀλλʼ ὅτι αὐτός ἠγάπησεν ἡμάς καί ἀπέστειλεν τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ ἱλασμόν περί τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract noun love by stating the meaning behind it with a verb. Alternate translation: [This is how we know what it means to love]

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ ἐστίν ἡ ἀγάπη οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήκαμεν τόν Θεόν ἀλλʼ ὅτι αὐτός ἠγάπησεν ἡμάς καί ἀπέστειλεν τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ ἱλασμόν περί τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν)

Son is an important title for Jesus. Alternate translation: [his Son Jesus]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ἱλασμὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν

sent_out (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ ἐστίν ἡ ἀγάπη οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήκαμεν τόν Θεόν ἀλλʼ ὅτι αὐτός ἠγάπησεν ἡμάς καί ἀπέστειλεν τόν Υἱόν αὐτοῦ ἱλασμόν περί τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract noun propitiation by stating the meaning behind it with an equivalent expression. See how you translated the term in [2:2](../02/02.md). Alternate translation: [sent his Son to be the offering that made him no longer angry with us because of our sins]

OET (OET-LV) In this is the love, not that we have_loved the god, but that he loved us, and sent_out the son of_him, an_atonement for the sins of_us.

OET (OET-RV) So this is real love, not us loving God, but God loving us and sending his son to be the sacrifice to clear us of the sentence from our sins.

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
