1 John 3
1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
ιδετε ποταπην αγαπην δεδωκεν ημιν ο πατηρ ινα τεκνα θεου κληθωμεν δια τουτο ο κοσμοσ ου γινωσκει υμασ οτι ουκ εγνω αυτον
2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
αγαπητοι νυν τεκνα θεου εσμεν και ουπω εφανερωθη τι εσομεθα οιδαμεν δε οτι εαν φανερωθη ομοιοι αυτω εσομεθα οτι οψομεθα αυτον καθωσ εστιν
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
και πασ ο εχων την ελπιδα ταυτην επ αυτω αγνιζει εαυτον καθωσ εκεινοσ αγνοσ εστιν
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
πασ ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν και την ανομιαν ποιει και η αμαρτια εστιν η ανομια
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
και οιδατε οτι εκεινοσ εφανερωθη ινα τασ αμαρτιασ ημων αρη και αμαρτια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
πασ ο εν αυτω μενων ουχ αμαρτανει πασ ο αμαρτανων ουχ εωρακεν αυτον ουδε εγνωκεν αυτον
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
τεκνια μηδεισ πλανατω υμασ ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην δικαιοσ εστιν καθωσ εκεινοσ δικαιοσ εστιν
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν εκ του διαβολου εστιν οτι απ αρχησ ο διαβολοσ αμαρτανει εισ τουτο εφανερωθη ο υιοσ του θεου ινα λυση τα εργα του διαβολου
9 Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
πασ ο γεγεννημενοσ εκ του θεου αμαρτιαν ου ποιει οτι σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω μενει και ου δυναται αμαρτανειν οτι εκ του θεου γεγεννηται
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
εν τουτω φανερα εστιν τα τεκνα του θεου και τα τεκνα του διαβολου πασ ο μη ποιων δικαιοσυνην ουκ εστιν εκ του θεου και ο μη αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
οτι αυτη εστιν η αγγελια ην ηκουσατε απ αρχησ ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλουσ
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
ου καθωσ καιν εκ του πονηρου ην και εσφαξεν τον αδελφον αυτου και χαριν τινοσ εσφαξεν αυτον οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα ην τα δε του αδελφου αυτου δικαια
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
μη θαυμαζετε αδελφοι μου ει μισει υμασ ο κοσμοσ
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.
ημεισ οιδαμεν οτι μεταβεβηκαμεν εκ του θανατου εισ την ζωην οτι αγαπωμεν τουσ αδελφουσ ο μη αγαπων τον αδελφον μενει εν τω θανατω
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
πασ ο μισων τον αδελφον αυτου ανθρωποκτονοσ εστιν και οιδατε οτι πασ ανθρωποκτονοσ ουκ εχει ζωην αιωνιον εν εαυτω μενουσαν (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
εν τουτω εγνωκαμεν την αγαπην οτι εκεινοσ υπερ ημων την ψυχην αυτου εθηκεν και ημεισ οφειλομεν υπερ των αδελφων τασ ψυχασ τιθεναι
17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
οσ δ αν εχη τον βιον του κοσμου και θεωρη τον αδελφον αυτου χρειαν εχοντα και κλειση τα σπλαγχνα αυτου απ αυτου πωσ η αγαπη του θεου μενει εν αυτω
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
τεκνια μου μη αγαπωμεν λογω μηδε τη γλωσση αλλ εν εργω και αληθεια
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εκ τησ αληθειασ εσμεν και εμπροσθεν αυτου πεισομεν τασ καρδιασ ημων
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
οτι εαν καταγινωσκη ημων η καρδια οτι μειζων εστιν ο θεοσ τησ καρδιασ ημων και γινωσκει παντα
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
αγαπητοι εαν η καρδια ημων μη καταγινωσκη ημων παρρησιαν εχομεν προσ τον θεον
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
και ο εαν αιτωμεν λαμβανομεν παρ αυτου οτι τασ εντολασ αυτου τηρουμεν και τα αρεστα ενωπιον αυτου ποιουμεν
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
και αυτη εστιν η εντολη αυτου ινα πιστευσωμεν τω ονοματι του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου και αγαπωμεν αλληλουσ καθωσ εδωκεν εντολην
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
και ο τηρων τασ εντολασ αυτου εν αυτω μενει και αυτοσ εν αυτω και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι μενει εν ημιν εκ του πνευματοσ ου ημιν εδωκεν
