Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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: figures-of-speech / hypo

ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ φωτὶ μένει

the_‹one› loving the brother ˱of˲_him in the light /is/_remaining

John is suggesting a further hypothetical situation in order to reassure his readers. Alternate translation: “Suppose someone does love his fellow believers. Then he is genuinely doing what is right”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ

the brother ˱of˲_him

See how you translated his brother in 2:9. Alternate translation: “each fellow believer”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ

the brother ˱of˲_him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this term by translating this in the plural, since John is speaking of loving all believers. Alternate translation: “each of his brothers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῷ φωτὶ μένει

in the light /is/_remaining

John is using the word light to mean what is holy, right, and good. Alternate translation: “is genuinely doing what is right”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῷ φωτὶ μένει

in the light /is/_remaining

See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. Here the word seems to describe behavior that is recognized to be genuine because it is consistent. Alternate translation: “is genuinely doing what is right”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σκάνδαλον ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν

offense in him not is

John is using the term stumbling block, which means something that a person would trip over, to mean something that would cause a person to sin. Alternate translation: “he has no reason to sin” or “nothing will cause him to sin”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σκάνδαλον ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν

offense in him not is

John speaks of this stumbling block being in or inside a person because it represents the hatred for a fellow believer that he describes in 2:9. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this explicitly. Alternate translation: “he has no hatred inside of him that will cause him to sin”
