OET (OET-LV) The one having the son, is_having the life, the one not having the son of_ the _god, is_ not _having the life.

OET (OET-RV) Anyone who has the son has life, but anyone who doesn’t have the god’s son, doesn’t have eternal life.

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.

5:12a

Whoever has the Son has life;

Whoever: (Meaning) This just means “anyone who…,” or “all those who…”

has the Son: (Meaning) This is another way by which John refers to our close personal relationship and union with Christ. It means the same as the phrase “in Christ.” See the note on 2:5c “in Him.”

life: (Pronoun Reference) The Greek has “the life” here, making it clear that “eternal life” (5:11) is meant. In translation it may be clearer to say “this life.” See GNT.

5:12b

whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

whoever does not: (Emphasis) In this sentence John is emphasizing what he has just said in 5:12a by restating it in the negative. A word like “but” may be needed to link the two sentences.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἔχων τὸν Υἱὸν, ἔχει τὴν ζωήν; ὁ μὴ ἔχων τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, τὴν ζωὴν οὐκ ἔχει

the_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ ἔχων τόν Υἱόν ἔχει τήν ζωήν ὁ μή ἔχων τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Θεοῦ τήν ζωήν οὐκ ἔχει)

John speaks of believers who are in a close relationship with Jesus as if Jesus were their possession. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [Anyone who is in a close relationship with the Son has life. Anyone who is not in a close relationship with the Son of God does not have life]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔχει τὴν ζωήν & τὴν ζωὴν οὐκ ἔχει

˓is˒_having ˓is˒_having (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ ἔχων τόν Υἱόν ἔχει τήν ζωήν ὁ μή ἔχων τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Θεοῦ τήν ζωήν οὐκ ἔχει)

Since both groups of people are physically alive, John means this in a spiritual sense. As in [4:9](../04/09.md), he is likely referring to what he calls “eternal life” in [3:15](../03/15.md) and [5:11](../05/11.md). See how you translated that term in those verses. Alternate translation: [has power from God to live as a new person now and will live forever in God’s presence after death … does not have power from God to live as a new person now and will not live forever in God’s presence after death]

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τὸν Υἱὸν & τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ ἔχων τόν Υἱόν ἔχει τήν ζωήν ὁ μή ἔχων τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Θεοῦ τήν ζωήν οὐκ ἔχει)

Son and Son of God are important titles for Jesus that describes his relationship to God.

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-LV) The one having the son, is_having the life, the one not having the son of_ the _god, is_ not _having the life.

OET (OET-RV) Anyone who has the son has life, but anyone who doesn’t have the god’s son, doesn’t have eternal life.

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.
