TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:5 I am writing to remind you, dear friends: Literally I urge you, lady. See study note on 1:1.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ νῦν

and now

The words and now signal that what follows is the main point of the letter, or at least the first main point. Use a natural way for introducing the main point in your language.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you

σε, & σοι

you & ˱to˲_you

These instances of you are singular since John is once again addressing the church in a figurative way as a lady. If you are translating John's form of address in a non-figurative way, you may want to make these plural, according to what is natural in your language.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κυρία

mistress

John is continuing his figure of speech in which he addresses the church collectively as a lady. See how you translated lady in 1:1. Alternate translation: “my dear believers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐχ ὡς ἐντολὴν καινὴν γράφων σοι

not as /a/_commandment new writing ˱to˲_you

If your language requires you to state who is writing, you could add a pronoun here. Alternate translation: “not as though I were writing a new commandment to you”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς

from /the/_beginning

The phrase from the beginning refers to the time when John and his audience first believed in Jesus Christ. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “since the time that we first believed”
