1 John 4:14-15

4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior ¹  of the world.

4:15 If anyone ²  confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides ³  in him and he in God.

[4:14]  ¹ tn Because σωτῆρα (swthra) is the object complement of υἱόν (Juion) in a double accusative construction in 4:14, there is an understood equative verb joining the two, with the resultant meaning “the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.”

[4:15]  ² tn Grk “Whoever.”

[4:15]  ³ tn Here μένει (menei, from μένω [menw]) has been translated as “resides” because the confession is constitutive of the relationship, and the resulting state (“God resides in him”) is in view.
