# In him was life

# In him was life, and the life was the light of men
|

|

Here "life" is a metaphor for causing everything to live. AT: "The one who is called the Word is the one who caused everything to live" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
||||
"In him was life" is a metonym for causing everything to live. And, "light" here is a metaphor for "truth." AT: "He is the one who caused everything to live. And he revealed to people what is true about God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|

|
||||
# In him
|
||||
Here "him" refers to the one who is called the Word.
|

|
||||
# life

|

Here use a general term for "life." If you must be more specific, translate as "spiritual life."

||||
# the life was the light of men
|
||||
|
||||
"Light" here is a metaphor that means God's revelation. AT: "he revealed to us the truth about God as a light reveals what is in the darkness" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
||||
|
||||
# The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it
|
||||
|
||||
Just as darkness cannot put out light, evil people have never prevented the one who is like a light from revealing God's truth. AT: "God's revelation shows the truth even in the midst of evil people, and evil people have not been able to stop it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
||||
Here "light" is a metaphor for what is true and good. Here "darkness" is a metaphor what is false and evil. AT: "The truth is like a light shining into a dark place, and no one in the dark place could put out the light" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
