1 YHN 2:2 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 as a tool 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: writing-pronouns

αὐτὸς

The pronoun he here refers to Jesus, the antecedent in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

αὐτὸς ἱλασμός ἐστιν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, οὐ περὶ τῶν ἡμετέρων δὲ μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ ὅλου τοῦ κόσμου

he ˓the˒_atonement is for the sins ˱of˲_us not for ¬the our_‹sins› and only but also for all the world

The abstract noun propitiation refers to something that someone does for someone else or gives to someone else so that he will no longer be angry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this term by translating it with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [because of Jesus, God is no longer angry about our sins, and not only about ours, but also about those of the whole world]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὅλου τοῦ κόσμου

all the world

John uses world to mean various things in this letter. Here it refers to the people living in the world. Alternate translation: [everyone in the world]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐ περὶ τῶν ἡμετέρων δὲ μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ ὅλου τοῦ κόσμου

not for ¬the our_‹sins› and only but also for all the world

John leaves out the word for “sins” in these clauses because it is understood from the previous clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include the missing word. Alternate translation: [and not only for our sins, but also for the sins of the whole world]
