καθίσαι μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ μου
/to/_sit_down with me on the throne ˱of˲_me
Jesus is speaking as if a victorious believer would literally sit with him on his throne. He means that the believer will share his ruling authority. He means the same thing when he says that he has sat with his Father on his throne. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will share my ruling authority with him, as I also … have come to share my Father’s ruling authority”

τοῦ Πατρός
the Father
Father is an important title that describes the relationship between God and Jesus. Be sure to retain this title in your translation.
3:21 The reward for victorious and obedient faith is to sit with Christ on his throne. Christians do not become divine, but they share in Christ’s victorious reign (20:4, 6; 22:5; Col 3:1-4; 2 Tim 2:12).

OET (OET-RV) Anyone who overcomes, I’ll give the right to sit with me on my throne, just like when I conquered and sat with my father on his throne.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
