OET-LV And we_are_having this the command from him, that the one loving the god, may_ also _be_loving the brother of_him.

OET (OET-RV) So we have this command from Yeshua that anyone who loves God must also love their fellow believers.

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 4:19–21

Read 4:19–21 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: This is the summary of John’s appeal that we should love other Christians because God has loved us so much.

4:21a

And we have this commandment from Him:

And: (Logical Relationship) This verse says that another reason why we must love other Christians is that God has commanded it.

we have this commandment from Him: (Alternative Interpretations) There are two interpretations of who the pronoun Him refers to here:

  1. It probably refers to God. (LB)

  2. Some think it refers to Christ. (GNT, NEB)

4:21b

Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

from him

The pronoun him refers to God. Alternate translation: [from God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν Θεὸν

the_‹one› loving (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ταύτην τήν ἐντολήν ἔχομεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἵνα ὁ ἀγαπῶν τόν Θεόν ἀγαπᾷ καί τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ)

Here, the one refers to anyone who loves God. Alternate translation: [anyone who loves God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ταύτην τήν ἐντολήν ἔχομεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἵνα ὁ ἀγαπῶν τόν Θεόν ἀγαπᾷ καί τόν ἀδελφόν αὐτοῦ)

See how you translated his brother in 2:9. Alternate translation: [each fellow believer]
