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.

1:6 The church here was most likely in Ephesus, where John was probably staying. Ephesus was an important port city in the province of Asia, and the fourth-largest city in the Roman Empire. It became an important city for the Christian community (Acts 18:19–19:41; 1 Tim 1:3; 1 Pet 1:1; Rev 2:1-7).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ
˱of˲_you ˱to˲_the love
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “that you love them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
προπέμψας
/having/_sent_forward
Here, to send on is an idiom that means to provide people with what they need for a journey. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to supply with what they need for their trip”
