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

ἐν αὐτῷ μένειν

in him /to_be/_remaining

See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to this book. Here to remain in God means very much the same thing as to have “fellowship with God” in 1:3 and 1:6 and to “be in” God in 2:5. John is repeating the same idea in different ways. Alternate translation: “he has close fellowship with God” or “he shares life with God”

Note 2 topic: translate-versebridge

ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐσμεν: ὁ λέγων ἐν αὐτῷ μένειν, ὀφείλει καθὼς ἐκεῖνος περιεπάτησεν, καὶ αὐτὸς περιπατεῖν

in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ λέγων ἐν αὐτῷ μένειν ὀφείλει καθὼς ἐκεῖνος περιεπάτησεν καὶ αὐτὸς περιπατεῖν)

If it would be a more natural order in your language, you could move the last sentence of verse 5 to the end of verse 6. You would then present the combined verses as 5-6. Alternate translation: “The one saying he remains in him ought, just as that one walked, also to walk himself. That is how we know that we are in him.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν αὐτῷ μένειν

in him /to_be/_remaining

John once again speaks as if believers could be inside of God. Alternate translation: “he is close friends with God” or “he shares life with God”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐν αὐτῷ

in him

The pronoun him refers to God. Alternate translation: “in God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὀφείλει καθὼς ἐκεῖνος περιεπάτησεν, καὶ αὐτὸς περιπατεῖν

ought as that_‹one› walked also himself /to_be/_walking

As in 1:6 and 1:7, John is using the word walk to mean how a person lives and behaves. Alternate translation: “must live as Jesus lived” or “must obey God just as Jesus did”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὀφείλει καθὼς ἐκεῖνος περιεπάτησεν, καὶ αὐτὸς περιπατεῖν

ought as that_‹one› walked also himself /to_be/_walking

John is using the phrase just as that one walked specifically to refer to the way that Jesus behaved when he lived on earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “must walk in the same way as Jesus walked when he was living on earth”
