< 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.
Видите, какову любовь дал есть Отец нам, да чада Божия наречемся, и будем. Сего ради мир не знает нас, зане не позна Его.
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.
Возлюбленнии, ныне чада Божия есмы, и не у явися, что будем: вемы же, яко, егда явится, подобни Ему будем, ибо узрим Его, якоже есть.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
И всяк имеяй надежду сию Нань, очищает себе, якоже Он чист есть.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Всяк творяй грех, и беззаконие творит: и грех есть беззаконие.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
И весте, яко Он явися, да грехи нашя возмет, и греха в Нем несть.
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
Всяк, иже в Нем пребывает, не согрешает: всяк согрешаяй не виде Его, ни позна Его.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Чадца, никтоже да льстит вас. Творяй правду праведник есть, якоже Он праведен есть.
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.
Творяй грех от диавола есть, яко исперва диавол согрешает. Сего ради явися Сын Божий да разрушит дела диаволя.
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.
Всяк рожденный от Бога греха не творит, яко семя Его в нем пребывает: и не может согрешати, яко от Бога рожден есть.
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.
Сего ради явлена суть чада Божия и чада диаволя: всяк не творяй правды несть от Бога, и не любяй брата своего.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
Яко се есть завещание, еже слышасте исперва, да любим друг друга,
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.
не якоже Каин от лукаваго бе и закла брата своего. И за кую вину закла его? Яко дела его лукава беша, а брата его праведна.
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Не чудитеся, братие моя, аще ненавидит вас мир.
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.
Мы вемы, яко преидохом от смерти в живот, яко любим братию: не любяй бо брата пребывает в смерти.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
Всяк ненавидяй брата своего человекоубийца есть: и весте, яко всяк человекоубийца не имать живота вечнаго в себе пребывающа. (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.
О сем познахом любовь, яко Он по нас душу Свою положи: и мы должни есмы по братии душы полагати.
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?
Иже убо имать богатство мира сего, и видит брата своего требующа, и затворит утробу свою от него, како любы Божия пребывает в нем?
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Чадца моя, не любим словом ниже языком, но делом и истиною.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
И о сем разумеем, яко от истины есмы, и пред Ним смиряем сердца наша:
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
зане аще зазирает нам сердце наше, яко болий есть Бог сердца нашего и весть вся.
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
Возлюбленнии, аще сердце наше не зазрит нам, дерзновение имамы к Богу,
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
и егоже аще просим, приемлем от Него, яко заповеди Его соблюдаем и угодная пред Ним творим.
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.
И сия есть заповедь Его, да веруем во имя Сына Его Иисуса Христа и любим друг друга, якоже дал есть заповедь нам.
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.
И соблюдаяй заповеди Его в Нем пребывает, и Той в нем. И о сем разумеем, яко пребывает в нас, от духа, егоже дал есть нам.
