OET interlinear 1 YHN (1 JHN) 5:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ αὕτη ἡ ζωὴ ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὕτη ἐστίν ἡ μαρτυρία ὅτι ζωήν αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ Θεός καί αὕτη ἡ ζωή ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἐστίν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this as a direct quotation, as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ αὕτη ἡ ζωὴ ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὕτη ἐστίν ἡ μαρτυρία ὅτι ζωήν αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ Θεός καί αὕτη ἡ ζωή ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἐστίν)

John speaks of life as if it were an object that was inside Jesus. Alternate translation: [God gave us eternal life, which people receive by believing in his Son Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ζωὴν αἰώνιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὕτη ἐστίν ἡ μαρτυρία ὅτι ζωήν αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ Θεός καί αὕτη ἡ ζωή ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἐστίν)

As in [4:9](../04/09.md), eternal life means two things at once. It means receiving power from God in this life to live in a new way, and it also means living forever in the presence of God after death. See how you translated the expression in [4:9](../04/09.md).

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τῷ Υἱῷ

the Son

Son is an important title for Jesus. Alternate translation: [his Son Jesus]
