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.

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτὸς
he
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]
