2:17 αυτου ¦ — ECM*
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
2:15-17 The world is a morally evil system that is under the influence of Satan and is opposed to God and to Christ’s Kingdom on this earth (2:16; 3:1; 4:4; 5:19; John 12:31; 15:18; Eph 6:11-12; Jas 4:4). The world appeals to people’s fleshly desires and thereby diverts them from God. Those who are from this world need God to redeem them from it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ κόσμος
the world
See how you translated the term world in 2:15. It has a similar meaning in this verse. Alternate translation: “the ungodly value system of the people who do not honor God”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ κόσμος παράγεται
the world /is_being/_passed_away
John speaks of the world as if it were leaving. Alternate translation: “the world is ending”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ
and and the desire ˱of˲_it
John is leaving 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 previous phrase. Alternate translation: “and its desire is also going away”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ
the desire ˱of˲_it
John is using the possessive form to show that the world is the source of this desire and gives it its character. Alternate translation: “the worldly desire” or “people’s desire for the world” or “the desire that this system of values creates in people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ
the desire ˱of˲_it
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this term by translating this in the plural, since John is referring to all of the different types of desire associated with the world that he described in 2:16. Alternate translation: “worldly desires” or “the desires that this system of values creates in people”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
/is/_remaining for the age
See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. Here the word refers to continuing existence. Alternate translation: “will live forever”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
for the age
This is an idiom. Consider using an idiom in your language that has this meaning. Alternate translation: “forever”
