OET (OET-LV) And this is the testimony:
that the god gave eternal life to_us, and this the life is in the son of_him.

OET (OET-RV) And this is the testimony: that God gave eternal life to us and this life is in his son.

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 5:10–12

Read 5:10–12 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: Here John shows that believing in Jesus can cause us to be confident that we have eternal life.

5:11a–b

God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son: (Alternative Interpretations) There are two views about how this sentence relates to the term “testimony”:

  1. This sentence is probably stating how God puts his testimony in our hearts. See the Display.

  2. Some think that it is stating what the testimony is.

5:11a

And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life,

this is: (Pronoun Reference) This refers to the rest of the verse.

5:11b

and this life is in His Son.

this life is in His Son: (Collocation) This does not just mean that Christ has eternal life. John is saying that we only get eternal life through Christ. God gives it to us by means of uniting us with his Son.

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]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:11-12 Whoever has the Son has life: Those who have the Son of God living in them have God’s eternal life now—they enjoy the presence of God’s Spirit (2:20, 25, 27), and they have the guarantee of eternity with God (see Eph 1:13-14).

OET (OET-RV) And this is the testimony: that God gave eternal life to us and this life is in his son.

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.
