Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ἀγαπητοί
beloved
See how you translated Beloved in 2:7. Alternate translation: [You people whom I love]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ οὕτως ὁ Θεὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς
if thus ¬the God loved us
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]
4:7-21 John explains the source of a Christian’s love and its outworking.
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.
