OET (OET-LV) Greater than these things not I_am_having joy, that I_may_be_hearing the my children in the truth walking.

OET (OET-RV) Nothing makes me more happy than hearing that other believers that I’ve helped are living out the truth.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1–4: Greetings

Read 1–4 carefully in both BSB and GNT. Compare the two versions.

Section Theme: As in 2 John 1–3, these verses contain the formal parts of the introduction to a Greek letter, that is, a description of the writer and the person he is writing to, and then a blessing (verse 2). John then goes on to encourage the person he is writing to (Gaius) by saying how pleased he was by the good reports he had heard about Gaius.

4 (Logical Connection)

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

This verse is giving the reason why the reports about Gaius made John so happy.

I have no greater joy: (Figure of Speech) John is here using exaggeration to emphasize that such reports make him very happy.

my children: (Cross-cultural Difference) John uses this term here as he does in 1 John to refer to Christians in churches for which he is responsible. See the note on “My little children” in 1 John 2:1.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μειζοτέραν & οὐκ ἔχω χαράν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω χαράν ἵνα ἀκούω τά ἐμά τέκνα ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Nothing makes me more joyful]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω χαράν ἵνα ἀκούω τά ἐμά τέκνα ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα)

John speaks of those whom he taught to believe in Jesus as though they were his children. This also emphasizes his love and concern for them. Alternate translation: [my spiritual children]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα

in the truth walking

Here, walking on a path is a metaphor for how a person lives his life. Alternate translation: [are living according to God’s truth]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ

in the truth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in God’s true ways]

OET (OET-RV) Nothing makes me more happy than hearing that other believers that I’ve helped are living out the truth.

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.
