OET (OET-LV) Beloved, if the god loved us thus, we also ought to_be_loving one_another.

OET (OET-RV) Dear friends, if God loves us like that, we ought to be loving each other.

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 4:11–12

Read 4:11–12 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: Here John appeals to us to love one another so that God can truly live in us and cause his love to reach others through us.

4:11a

Beloved, if God so loved us,

if: (Multiple Senses) The conjunction if is not used here to introduce something that might or might not be true. Here it refers to something that is known to be true, so in many languages a conjunction like “since” or “because” will be more appropriate. See NIV and Display.

so loved us: (Multiple Senses) Here the word so is used in the sense of “so much.” It means that God loved us very much and as a result of that he sent his Son to die for us.

4:11b

we also ought to love one another.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἀγαπητοί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀγαπητοί εἰ οὕτως ὁ Θεός ἠγάπησεν ἡμάς καί ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν)

See how you translated Beloved in [2:7](../02/07.md). Alternate translation: [You people whom I love]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ οὕτως ὁ Θεὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς

if thus ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀγαπητοί εἰ οὕτως ὁ Θεός ἠγάπησεν ἡμάς καί ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν)

John is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what John is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [because God loved us in this way]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

οὕτως

thus

The word thus refers to the manner in which God showed his love to us, as described in verses 9 and 10. Alternate translation: [in that way]

OET (OET-RV) Dear friends, if God loves us like that, we ought to be loving each other.

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.
