Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἰ & τις ἀγαπᾷ τὸν Θεόν, οὗτος ἔγνωσται

if & anyone /is/_loving ¬the God this_‹one› /has_been/_known

Just as in the last verse, here Paul uses if to introduce a true possibility. He means that someone might love God, or that person might not. He then specifies the result for if the person does love God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the if statement by using a relative clause or by introducing the sentence with “whenever.” Alternate translation: [anyone who loves God is known] or [whenever anyone loves God, that one is known]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὗτος ἔγνωσται ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ

this_‹one› /has_been/_known by him

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on the person who is known rather than focusing on God, who does the “knowing.” Alternate translation: [he knows that one]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

οὗτος & αὐτοῦ

this_‹one› & him

Here, that one refers to anyone, and him refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express these pronouns by clarifying to whom they refer. Alternate translation: [that person … God]
