1. Behold G1492 , what manner G4217 of love G26 the G3588 Father G3962 hath bestowed G1325 upon us G2254 , that G2443 we should be called G2564 the sons G5043 of God G2316 : therefore G1223 G5124 the G3588 world G2889 knoweth G1097 us G2248 not G3756 , because G3754 it knew G1097 him G846 not G3756 .
|
1. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
|
|
2. Beloved G27 , now G3568 are G2070 we the sons G5043 of God G2316 , and G2532 it doth not yet G3768 appear G5319 what G5101 we shall be G2071 : but G1161 we know G1492 that G3754 , when G1437 he shall appear G5319 , we shall be G2071 like G3664 him G846 ; for G3754 we shall see G3700 him G846 as G2531 he is G2076 .
|
2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
|
|
3. And G2532 every man G3956 that hath G2192 this G5026 hope G1680 in G1909 him G846 purifieth G48 himself G1438 , even as G2531 he G1565 is G2076 pure G53 .
|
3. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
|
|
4. Whosoever G3956 committeth G4160 sin G266 transgresseth also the law G4160 G2532 G458 : for G2532 sin G266 is G2076 the G3588 transgression of the law G458 .
|
4. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
|
|
5. And G2532 ye know G1492 that G3754 he G1565 was manifested G5319 to G2443 take away G142 our G2257 sins G266 ; and G2532 in G1722 him G846 is G2076 no G3756 sin G266 .
|
5. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
|
|
6. Whosoever G3956 abideth G3306 in G1722 him G846 sinneth G264 not G3756 : whosoever G3956 sinneth G264 hath not G3756 seen G3708 him G846 , neither G3761 known G1097 him G846 .
|
6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
|
|
7. Little children G5040 , let no man G3367 deceive G4105 you G5209 : he that doeth G4160 righteousness G1343 is G2076 righteous G1342 , even as G2531 he G1565 is G2076 righteous G1342 .
|
7. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
|
|
8. He that committeth G4160 sin G266 is G2076 of G1537 the G3588 devil G1228 ; for G3754 the G3588 devil G1228 sinneth G264 from G575 the beginning G746 . For G1519 this purpose G5124 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 was manifested G5319 , that G2443 he might destroy G3089 the G3588 works G2041 of the G3588 devil G1228 .
|
8. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
|
|
9. Whosoever G3956 is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 doth not G3756 commit G4160 sin G266 ; for G3754 his G848 seed G4690 remaineth G3306 in G1722 him G846 : and G2532 he cannot G1410 G3756 sin G264 , because G3754 he is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 .
|
9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
|
|
10. In G1722 this G5129 the G3588 children G5043 of God G2316 are G2076 manifest G5318 , and G2532 the G3588 children G5043 of the G3588 devil G1228 : whosoever G3956 doeth G4160 not G3361 righteousness G1343 is G2076 not G3756 of G1537 God G2316 , neither G2532 he that loveth G25 not G3361 his G848 brother G80 .
|
10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
|
|
11. For G3754 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 message G31 that G3739 ye heard G191 from G575 the beginning G746 , that G2443 we should love G25 one another G240 .
|
11. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
|
|
12. Not G3756 as G2531 Cain G2535 , who was G2258 of G1537 that wicked one G4190 , and G2532 slew G4969 his G848 brother G80 . And G2532 wherefore G5484 G5101 slew G4969 he him G846 ? Because G3754 his own G848 works G2041 were G2258 evil G4190 , and G1161 his G848 brother G80 's righteous G1342 .
|
12. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
|
|
13. Marvel G2296 not G3361 , my G3450 brethren G80 , if G1487 the G3588 world G2889 hate G3404 you G5209 .
|
13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
|
|
14. We G2249 know G1492 that G3754 we have passed G3327 from G1537 death G2288 unto G1519 life G2222 , because G3754 we love G25 the G3588 brethren G80 . He that loveth G25 not G3361 his brother G80 abideth G3306 in G1722 death G2288 .
|
14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
|
|
15. Whosoever G3956 hateth G3404 his G848 brother G80 is G2076 a murderer G443 : and G2532 ye know G1492 that G3754 no G3956 G3756 murderer G443 hath G2192 eternal G166 life G2222 abiding G3306 in G1722 him G846 .
|
15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
|
|
16. Hereby G1722 G5129 perceive G1097 we the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 , because G3754 he G1565 laid down G5087 his G848 life G5590 for G5228 us G2257 : and G2532 we G2249 ought G3784 to lay down G5087 our lives G5590 for G5228 the G3588 brethren G80 .
|
16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
|
|
17. But G1161 whoso G3739 G302 hath G2192 this world G2889 's good G979 , and G2532 seeth G2334 his G848 brother G80 have G2192 need G5532 , and G2532 shutteth up G2808 his G848 bowels G4698 of compassion from G575 him G846 , how G4459 dwelleth G3306 the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 in G1722 him G846 ?
|
17. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
|
|
18. My G3450 little children G5040 , let us not G3361 love G25 in word G3056 , neither G3366 in tongue G1100 ; but G235 in deed G2041 and G2532 in truth G225 .
|
18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
|
|
19. And G2532 hereby G1722 G5129 we know G1097 that G3754 we are G2070 of G1537 the G3588 truth G225 , and G2532 shall assure G3982 our G2257 hearts G2588 before G1715 him G846 .
|
19. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
|
|
20. For G3754 if G1437 our G2257 heart G2588 condemn G2607 us G3754 , God G2316 is G2076 greater G3187 than our G2257 heart G2588 , and G2532 knoweth G1097 all things G3956 .
|
20. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
|
|
21. Beloved G27 , if G1437 our G2257 heart G2588 condemn G2607 us G2257 not G3361 , then have G2192 we confidence G3954 toward G4314 God G2316 .
|
21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
|
|
22. And G2532 whatsoever G3739 G1437 we ask G154 , we receive G2983 of G3844 him G846 , because G3754 we keep G5083 his G848 commandments G1785 , and G2532 do G4160 those things that are pleasing G701 in his sight G1799 G846 .
|
22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
|
|
23. And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 his G848 commandment G1785 , That G2443 we should believe G4100 on the G3588 name G3686 of his G848 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , and G2532 love G25 one another G240 , as G2531 he gave G1325 us G2254 commandment G1785 .
|
23. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
|
|
24. And G2532 he that keepeth G5083 his G848 commandments G1785 dwelleth G3306 in G1722 him G846 , and G2532 he G846 in G1722 him G846 . And G2532 hereby G1722 G5129 we know G1097 that G3754 he abideth G3306 in G1722 us G2254 , by G1537 the G3588 Spirit G4151 which G3739 he hath given G1325 us G2254 .
|
24. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
