OET (OET-LV) By this we_are_knowing, that we_are_remaining in him, and he in us, because he_has_given to_us from the spirit of_him.

OET (OET-RV) We can know that we are living in him and him in us because he has given to us from his spirit.

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 4:13–16

Read 4:13–16 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: These verses concentrate on one theme from 4:12, namely the fact that God lives in us and we live in him. John states three facts that prove that this is true:

4:13

We have the Holy Spirit.

4:14–15

We believe in Jesus as the Son of God.

4:16

Our lives are full of love.

4:13

By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

this: (Pronoun Reference) The word this points forward, referring to God’s gift of the Holy Spirit. The sentence may be restructured, but the emphasis of the sentence must be kept on God giving the Holy Spirit to us.

in Him: (Pronoun Reference) This refers to God, and since this verse starts a new paragraph it may be necessary to make the name explicit here. See GNT.

given us of His Spirit: (Meaning) This just means that God has put his Holy Spirit in us. Be careful in your translation that it does not sound as if God has simply handed over the Holy Spirit into our possession.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν

in in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν καί αὐτός ἐν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν)

The expression In this introduces a note of assurance that contrasts with the idea in the previous verse, “No one has ever seen God.” This verse is very similar to the second half of [3:24](../03/24.md). See how you translated that verse. Alternate translation: [Nevertheless, this is how we know that we remain in him, and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit] or [But we know that we remain in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι

in in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν καί αὐτός ἐν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν)

This is an idiomatic expression that John uses many times in this letter. Alternate translation: [This is how we know that]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν

in in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν καί αὐτός ἐν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν)

The pronoun this refers forward to what John says in the second part of this verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Here is the reason that we know]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν ἡμῖν

in him ˱we˲_˓are˒_remaining in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν καί αὐτός ἐν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν)

In the expression and he in us, John is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from the previous phrase. Alternate translation: [we remain in him and he remains in us]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν ἡμῖν

in him ˱we˲_˓are˒_remaining in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν καί αὐτός ἐν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν)

See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. In this instance, it seems to mean the same thing as in [2:6](../02/06.md). See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: [we continue to have a close relationship with God, and God continues to have a close relationship with us]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν

from the Spirit ˱of˲_him ˱he˲_˓has˒_given ˱to˲_us

The word of here means “some of.” However, God’s Spirit is not something that can be divided. Rather, John is saying that God is sharing his Spirit with us. God’s Spirit can be in many places, and he is fully present in every place. John is saying that through his Spirit, God is fully present in the entire community, and that each believer experiences some of that full presence of God through the presence of the Spirit in his own life. Be sure that it is also clear in your translation that God does not have less of his Spirit now that each of us has some. Alternate translation: [he has sent his Spirit to live in each of us]
