Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ὁ λέγων & αὐτῷ χαίρειν
the_‹one› saying & ˱to˲_him /to_be/_rejoicing
By one, John does not mean a particular person. He means anyone who greets a false teacher. Alternate translation: [any person who gives him a respectful public greeting]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κοινωνεῖ τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ τοῖς πονηροῖς
/is/_sharing ˱in˲_the works ˱of˲_him ¬the evil
John is using the verb shares in a particular sense here to mean assisting and helping to advance the activity of the false teacher. Alternate translation: [takes part in his evil deeds] or [helps him in his evil deeds]
1:4-11 John now applies the truth and love that he mentioned in the introduction (1:1-3) to the readers’ situation. Living in truth and love means maintaining fellowship with true Christians (1:4-6), but also discerning false teachers and refusing to listen to them or help them (1:7-11).
OET (OET-LV) for/because the one saying to_him to_be_rejoicing is_sharing in_the the evil works of_him.
OET (OET-RV) because anyone who encourages those people is participating in the evil that they’re spreading.
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.
