Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ὃς ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὁ Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Θεῷ
whoever (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὃς ἂν ὁμολογήσῃ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Θεῷ)
This can be translated as a conditional statement if that would be helpful in your language. John is saying that what he describes in the second phrase will happen only if what he describes in the first phrase happens. Then it will certainly happen. Alternate translation: “If someone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, then God will remain in him and he will remain in God”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃς ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ
whoever (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὃς ἂν ὁμολογήσῃ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Θεῷ)
The meaning of this expression is similar to the expression “the one who confesses the Son” in 2:23. See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: “Everyone who truly believes and acknowledges publicly that Jesus is the Son of God”
Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ
the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God
Son of God is an important title for Jesus that describes his relationship to God.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Θεῷ
the ¬the God in him /is/_remaining and he in ¬the God
In the expression and he in God, 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: “God remains in him and he remains in God”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Θεῷ
the ¬the God in him /is/_remaining and he in ¬the God
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. See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: “God continues to have a close relationship with him, and he continues to have a close relationship with God”
4:15 Those who believe in Christ have God living in them, and they live in God. The Father and the Son experience this fellowship (John 10:38; 14:10; 17:21). Experiencing God in this way is a special privilege for believers (see John 14:20; 15:5; 17:21-24).
OET (OET-LV) Whoever wishfully may_confess that Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) is the son of_ the _god, the god is_remaining in him, and he in the god.
OET (OET-RV) Anyone who confesses that Yeshua is God’s son, God lives in that person and they live in God.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
