UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς ἐστιν ὁ ψεύστης, εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀρνούμενος ὅτι Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Χριστός?

who is the liar except ¬not/lest the_‹one› disowning that Jesus not is the Messiah

John is using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question by translating his words as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: “Anyone who denies that Jesus is the Messiah is certainly a liar!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ὁ ἀρνούμενος ὅτι Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Χριστός

the the_‹one› disowning that Jesus not is the Messiah

For emphasis, John is using a double negative in Greek, specifically, a negative verb (denies) with a negative particle, “not.” In English, it would come out as “the one who denies that Jesus is not the Christ.” In Greek, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. But in English, the meaning would inaccurately be positive, which is why ULT uses only one negative. It leaves out “not” and says the one denying that Jesus is the Christ. However, if your language uses double negatives for emphasis that do not cancel one another, it would be appropriate to use that construction in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἀντίχριστος

this_‹one› is the false_messiah

John is not referring here to the ultimate antichrist who will appear at the end of earthly history. John does not have a specific person in view here. Rather, he is speaking generally of all people who oppose Christ. See how you translated the term antichrist in 2:18. Alternate translation: “Such a person is the enemy of Jesus”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἀρνούμενος τὸν Πατέρα καὶ τὸν Υἱόν

the the_‹one› disowning the the the_‹one› disowning the Father and the Son

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly why John says this about these people. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “By denying that Jesus is the Messiah, he is denying both God the Father, who sent Jesus to be the Messiah, and Jesus his Son, whom he sent”

Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τὸν Πατέρα καὶ τὸν Υἱόν

the Father and the Son

Father and Son are important titles that describe the relationship between God and Jesus. Alternate translation: “God the Father and Jesus his Son”
