OET (OET-LV) We_have_known that we_are of the god, and the whole world is_lying in the evil one.

OET (OET-RV) We know that we belong to God and that the whole word is under the control of the evil one.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:13–21: We can be sure that we have eternal life

Read 5:13–21 carefully.

Section Theme: John ends his letter by reassuring his readers that they do have eternal life and that they do truly know God.

Paragraph 5:18–21

Read 5:18–21 in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Paragraph Theme: Finally John reminds the readers that God protects them from the temptation to sin and that they really do know God, so they should reject all false teaching.

5:19a

We know that we are of God,

5:19b

and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

the whole world: (Multiple Senses) In this verse this phrase means all those people in the world who have not accepted God.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐσμεν

of ¬the God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐσμέν καί ὁ κόσμος ὅλος ἐν τῷ πονηρῷ κεῖται)

See how you translated the similar expression in [4:4](../04/04.md). Alternate translation: [we are sharing life with God] or [we are living in relationship with God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ κόσμος ὅλος

the world whole

John uses the term world in various ways in this letter. In this instance, it likely refers both to the people living in the world who do not honor God and to their value system. Alternate translation: [every ungodly person along with the way that he thinks]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῷ πονηρῷ κεῖται

in the evil_‹one› ˓is˒_lying

The expression lies in represents being controlled by someone or something. Alternate translation: [is controlled by the evil one] or [is controlled by evil influences]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῷ πονηρῷ

the evil_‹one›

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract noun evil by stating the meaning behind it with an equivalent expression. This could mean that: (1) John may be speaking of the devil, as in [2:13](../02/13.md). Alternate translation: [the devil]; (2) John may be speaking of evil influences. Alternate translation: [evil influences]

OET (OET-LV) We_have_known that we_are of the god, and the whole world is_lying in the evil one.

OET (OET-RV) We know that we belong to God and that the whole word is under the control of the evil one.

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.
