# John was a lamp that was burning and shining
# John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while
Here "lamp" is a metaphor. John displayed God's holiness in the same way a lamp gives light. AT: "John was like a lamp that was burning and shining" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# willing to rejoice in his light
"Light" here is a metonym for "life" or "influence" or "teaching." AT: "willing to rejoice in his influence" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
Here "lamp" and "light" are metaphors. John taught the people about God and this was like a lamp shining its light into the dark. AT: "John taught you about God and this was like a lamp shining its light. And for a while what John said made you happy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
