SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1–3: Greetings

Read 1–3 carefully in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Section Theme: This is the introduction to the letter. In verse 1 the writer says who he is and who he is writing to. In verse 3 he gives a greeting in the form of a blessing. These three elements were the formal parts of the introduction to most Greek letters written at that time. In these verses John also introduces the ideas of love and God’s truth, which are the main things he wants to remind his readers of in this letter.

3a

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us

Grace, mercy, and peace: (Discourse Feature) This seems to have been a standard Christian greeting, since something like it appears in most of the New Testament letters. In translation it should sound like a greeting. It should not be in focus as if it were a teaching or a prayer that John made up.

the Son of the Father: (Translation) In your language it may be necessary to state this in full, “the son of God our father.”

will be with us: (Alternative Interpretations) There are two different views about the grammar of the Greek verb here:

  1. It probably signifies a greeting in the form of a wish, “May grace, mercy and peace…be with us.” (GNT, JBP, KJV)

  2. It may be signifying a statement. For example, Grace, mercy and peace…will be with us. (BSB, JB, NEB, RSV, LB)

3b

in truth

3c

and love.

3b–c

in truth and love: (Meaning) Here John repeats his theme of truth and love. He means that we may experience God’s grace, mercy and peace as we put into practice the truth we have learned from him and as we love one another. See JB.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔσται μεθ’ ἡμῶν χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη, παρὰ Θεοῦ Πατρός καὶ παρὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

will_be with us grace mercy peace (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔσται μεθʼ ἡμῶν χάρις ἔλεος εἰρήνη παρά Θεοῦ Πατρός καί παρά Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Πατρός ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καί ἀγάπῃ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract nouns grace, mercy, and peace with verbal phrases, and use God the Father and Jesus Christ as the subject. Alternate translation: [God the Father and Jesus Christ will be kind to us, be merciful to us, and enable us to be peaceful]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔσται μεθ’ ἡμῶν χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη

will_be with us grace mercy peace

In this culture, letter writers would normally offer a good wish or blessing for the recipients before introducing the main business of the letter. But instead of a blessing here, John makes a declarative statement. This probably expresses his confidence that God will do as he promised. Be sure that your translation also expresses this confidence.

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατρός & Υἱοῦ

˓the˒_Father & Son

Father and Son are important titles that describe the relationship between God and Jesus Christ. Be sure to translate them accurately and consistently.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἀγάπῃ

in truth (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔσται μεθʼ ἡμῶν χάρις ἔλεος εἰρήνη παρά Θεοῦ Πατρός καί παρά Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Πατρός ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καί ἀγάπῃ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract nouns truth and love by stating the ideas behind them with adjectives or verbs. Here, these abstract nouns could refer to: (1) the qualities of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Alternate translation: [who are truthful and loving] (2) how believers should live, and thus are the conditions under which believers will receive the “grace, mercy, and peace” from God. Alternate translation: [as we continue to believe what is true and to love each other]
