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: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι μεταβεβήκαμεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν, ὅτι ἀγαπῶμεν τοὺς ἀδελφούς
we /have/_known that ˱we˲_/have/_departed from ¬the death to ¬the life because ˱we˲_/are/_loving our brothers
If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because we love the brothers, we know that we have relocated from death into life]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μεταβεβήκαμεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν
˱we˲_/have/_departed from ¬the death to ¬the life
John is speaking of the conditions of being dead and alive as if they were physical locations between which a person could move. Alternate translation: [we are no longer dead but have become alive]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μεταβεβήκαμεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν
˱we˲_/have/_departed from ¬the death to ¬the life
Since John and his readers were not literally dead, he is referring to spiritual death and to spiritual life. Alternate translation: [we are no longer dead spiritually but have become alive spiritually]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοὺς ἀδελφούς
our brothers
See how you translated the brothers in 2:9. Alternate translation: [the other believers]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν
the_‹one› not loving
John does not say specifically whom such a person does not love. In context, it appears that he means other believers. But it is also possible that John means other people in general. Alternate translation: [The one who does not love his fellow believers] or [The one who does not love other people]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μένει ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ
/is/_remaining in ¬the death
See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. In this instance, it means staying in the same place. John is once again speaking of the state of death as if it were a location. Alternate translation: [remains dead spiritually]
