OET (OET-RV) Therefore if your whole body is bright without any dark areas, it will be bright all over, like when a lamp shines on you to illuminate you.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἔσται φωτεινὸν ὅλον, ὡς ὅταν ὁ λύχνος τῇ ἀστραπῇ φωτίζῃ σε
˱it˲_will_be bright all as whenever the lamp ¬the ˱with˲_shining /may_be/_illuminating you
Jesus now uses a simile to connect the illustration of the lamp with the extended metaphor of the eye. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the meaning of the simile. Alternate translation: [light will come into your whole body. In the same way, if you are willing to obey God, you will be able to understand his message and live by it completely, just as a lamp shines a bright light that allows you to see yourself and everything around you clearly]
11:35-36 Light and darkness are metaphors for good and evil (John 1:5; 3:19; 8:12; 12:35; Acts 26:18; Rom 13:12; 2 Cor 4:6; 6:14; Eph 5:8; 1 Thes 5:5; 1 Pet 2:9; 1 Jn 1:5; 2:8-9).
OET (OET-LV) Therefore if the whole body of_you is bright, not having any dark part, it_will_ all _be bright, as whenever the lamp may_be_illuminating you the with_shining.
OET (OET-RV) Therefore if your whole body is bright without any dark areas, it will be bright all over, like when a lamp shines on you to illuminate you.”
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.
