TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:31 that you may continue to believe: The present tense (found in some manuscripts) indicates that John wrote to encourage believers. Other manuscripts read that you may [come to] believe, suggesting that John wrote to stimulate new faith (cp. 1:7).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, these things could mean: (1) the miraculous signs that John wrote about in his Gospel and mentioned in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “these signs” (2) everything that John wrote about in his Gospel. Alternate translation: “everything in this book”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ταῦτα δὲ γέγραπται

these_‹things› on_the_other_hand /has_been/_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “but the author wrote about these things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you

πιστεύητε & ἔχητε

˱you_all˲_/may_be/_believing & ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_having

In this verse you is plural and could refer to: (1) people who are reading this Gospel and do not trust in Jesus for salvation. Alternate translation: “you might believe … you might have” (2) people who are reading this Gospel and already believe in Jesus. Alternate translation: “you would continue believing … you would continue to have”

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ

Son ¬the ˱of˲_God

Son of God is an important title for Jesus.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ζωὴν

life

Here, life refers to eternal life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. See the UST.

Here, in indicates the means by which people can have eternal life. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “by means of his name”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ

in the name ˱of˲_him

Here, his name could refer to: (1) Jesus himself. Alternate translation: “through union with him” or “by the power of his person” (2) calling on Jesus’ name for salvation. Alternate translation: “by calling on his name”
