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 as a tool 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.

1:3 Grace, mercy, and peace are blessings of which John is confident for those who live in truth and love, and who demonstrate by their actions that they are God’s children.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἔσται μεθ’ ἡμῶν χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη, παρὰ Θεοῦ Πατρός καὶ παρὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
will_be with us grace mercy peace from God ˓the˒_Father and from Jesus Christ
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract nouns grace, mercy, and peace with verbal phrases, and use God the Father and Jesus Christ as the subject. Alternate translation: [God the Father and Jesus Christ will be kind to us, be merciful to us, and enable us to be peaceful]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔσται μεθ’ ἡμῶν χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη
will_be with us grace mercy peace
In this culture, letter writers would normally offer a good wish or blessing for the recipients before introducing the main business of the letter. But instead of a blessing here, John makes a declarative statement. This probably expresses his confidence that God will do as he promised. Be sure that your translation also expresses this confidence.
Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Πατρός & Υἱοῦ
˓the˒_Father & Son
Father and Son are important titles that describe the relationship between God and Jesus Christ. Be sure to translate them accurately and consistently.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἀγάπῃ
in truth and love
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract nouns truth and love by stating the ideas behind them with adjectives or verbs. Here, these abstract nouns could refer to: (1) the qualities of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Alternate translation: [who are truthful and loving] (2) how believers should live, and thus are the conditions under which believers will receive the “grace, mercy, and peace” from God. Alternate translation: [as we continue to believe what is true and to love each other]
