1YHN 2:19 Parallel Verse View

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: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐξῆλθαν

from us ˱they˲_came_out

These people formerly met with the group of believers to whom John is writing. While they physically left the places where the believers met, John is also using the expression went out to mean that these people stopped being part of the group. Alternate translation: “They left our group of believers in Jesus”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἦσαν ἐξ ἡμῶν & οὐκ εἰσὶν πάντες ἐξ ἡμῶν

but not ˱they˲_were of us & not ˱they˲_are all of us

John is using the expression from us in a slightly different sense in these two instances than in the first instance that says, They went out from us. In the first instance, it means that these people left the group. In these instances, it means that they were never genuinely part of the group. Alternate translation: “but they were never genuinely part of our group … none of them are genuinely part of our group”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἦσαν ἐξ ἡμῶν

not ˱they˲_were of us

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly why John makes this claim. Alternate translation: “they were never genuinely part of our group, because they did not actually believe in Jesus in the first place”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

εἰ γὰρ ἐξ ἡμῶν ἦσαν, μεμενήκεισαν ἂν μεθ’ ἡμῶν

if for of us ˱they˲_were ˱they˲_/had/_remained would with us

John is presenting a situation that is not real to help his readers recognize why the claim that he is making is true. Alternate translation: “We know that they were not genuinely part of our group, because they did not continue to participate in it”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μεμενήκεισαν ἂν μεθ’ ἡμῶν

˱they˲_/had/_remained would with us

See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. Here the word seems to refer to continuing participation in a group. Alternate translation: “they would have continued to participate in our group”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλ’ ἵνα φανερωθῶσιν ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν πάντες ἐξ ἡμῶν

but but in_order_that ˱they˲_/may_be/_revealed that not ˱they˲_are all of us

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 sentence. Alternate translation: “but they went out from us so that they would be revealed as not genuinely part of our group”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα φανερωθῶσιν

in_order_that ˱they˲_/may_be/_revealed

See the discussion of the term “appear” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. Here, the people were revealed as unbelievers when they left the group. If your language does not use passive forms, you can express this with an active form, and you can state what is doing the action. Alternate translation: “they left so that their actions would reveal”
