UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: headings

If you are using section headings, you could put one here before verse 1. Suggested heading: “Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς, ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ γεγέννηται

everyone ¬which believing that Jesus is the Messiah of ¬the God /has_been/_born

See how you translated the similar expression in 2:29. Alternate translation: “God is the father of everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς, ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ γεγέννηται

everyone ¬which believing that Jesus is the Messiah of ¬the God /has_been/_born

See whether in 2:29 you decided to explain this metaphor. Alternate translation: “God is the spiritual father of everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah”

Note 4 topic: writing-proverbs

πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν γεννήσαντα, ἀγαπᾷ καὶ τὸν γεγεννημένον ἐξ αὐτοῦ

everyone ¬which everyone ¬which loving the_‹one› /having/_bore_‹him› /is/_loving also the_‹one› /having_been/_born from him

John includes this short saying to teach something that is generally true about life and that applies to the point he has been developing since 4:7, that genuine believers love one another as God has loved them. Use the natural form in your language for a true saying. Alternate translation: “everyone who loves a father also loves that father’s child”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν γεννήσαντα, ἀγαπᾷ καὶ τὸν γεγεννημένον ἐξ αὐτοῦ

everyone ¬which everyone ¬which loving the_‹one› /having/_bore_‹him› /is/_loving also the_‹one› /having_been/_born from him

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly what this means and how it applies to John’s argument in this part of the letter. See the UST. Alternate translation: “everyone who loves God will also love his fellow believers, since God is their spiritual father”
