UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

μὴ ἀγαπᾶτε τὸν κόσμον, μηδὲ τὰ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ

neither /be/_loving the world nor the_‹things› in the world

In the second phrase in this sentence, John leaves out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from the first phrase. Alternate translation: “Do not love the world, and do not love any of the things that are in the world”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

μὴ ἀγαπᾶτε τὸν κόσμον

neither /be/_loving the world

John uses world to mean various things in this letter. Here it refers to the system of values that people share who do not honor God. This system is necessarily contrary to the values that godly people have. Alternate translation: “Do not share the ungodly value system of the people who do not honor God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

μηδὲ τὰ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ

nor the_‹things› in the world

This phrase is more specific than the preceding one. Here, John warns believers against loving the things that are part of our material world. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “No, do not love the things that ungodly people want to get for themselves”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἐάν τις ἀγαπᾷ τὸν κόσμον, οὐκ ἔστιν ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐν αὐτῷ

if anyone /may_be/_loving the world not is the love ˱of˲_the Father in him

John is describing a hypothetical situation in order to challenge his readers. Alternate translation: “Suppose someone loves the world. Then the love of the Father is not in him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

οὐκ ἔστιν ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐν αὐτῷ

not is the love ˱of˲_the Father in him

The phrase the love of the Father could mean: (1) the love that a person has for God the Father. Alternate translation: “that person does not really love God the Father” or (2) the love that God has for people. Alternate translation: “God the Father’s love is not genuinely at work in that person”

Note 6 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τοῦ Πατρὸς

˱of˲_the Father

Father is an important title for God. Alternate translation: “of God the Father”
