UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου τῆς ἐκλεκτῆς

the children ˱of˲_the sister ˱of˲_you ¬the chosen

See the discussion of this metaphor in Part 3 of the Introduction. Just as John uses the term “chosen lady” as a figurative expression for the group of believers to whom he is writing in 1:1 and the term “her children” for the members of that group, also here John is describing his own group of believers as the chosen sister of that group and the members of his group as the children of this sister. If you choose to keep the metaphor in the text, you may want to include an explanation of the meaning in a footnote. Alternate translation: [The members of the chosen group of believers here]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου τῆς ἐκλεκτῆς

the children ˱of˲_the sister ˱of˲_you ¬the chosen

In this context, the term chosen indicates someone whom God has chosen to receive salvation. In the context of John’s metaphor, this indicates a church or group of people whom God has chosen to receive salvation. Alternate translation: [The members of this group of believers in Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀσπάζεταί σε

/is/_greeting you

As was customary in this culture, John concludes the letter by extending greetings from people who are with him and who may know the people to whom he is writing. Your language may have a particular way of sharing greetings in a letter. If so, you can use that form here. Alternate translation: [send you their greetings] or [ask to be remembered to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / you

σε & σου

you & ˱of˲_you

The pronouns you and your are singular here, in keeping with John’s metaphor of writing to a congregation as though it were a lady. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use plural forms here.
