1 John 4:9

έφανερώθη aor. ind. pass. от φανερόω (G5319) объяснять, делать очевидным, разоблачать. Это слово передает идею проявления того, что раньше было сокрыто (Marshall) μονογενής (G3439) единственный в своем роде, неповторимый, уникальный (Marshall; Smalley; Brown; см. John 3:16).
άπέσταλκεν perf. ind. act. от άποστέλλω (G89) посылать, посылать официального представителя с поручением (TNDT). Perf. означает, что Бог Отец послал Его, и мы теперь наслаждаемся результатами Его служения (Westcott).
ζήσωμεν aor. conj. act. от ζάω (G2198) жить. Conj. с ϊν (G2443) используется в прид. цели.
