1 John 3
1 Look at the amazing kind of love the Father has for us! This is why we can be called God's children—for that's who we are! The reason why the people of this world don't recognize us as God's children is because they don't recognize him.
KILANG song en limpok lapalap, me Sam kotiki dong kitail er, pwe kitail en adane kila seri en Kot, ari, iei kitail. I me sappa sasa kin kitail, pwe re kin sasa i.
2 My friends, we are already God's children; however what we shall become hasn't been revealed just yet. But we do know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.
Kompok kan, kitail ari seri en Kot, ap saikenta sansal, da me kitail pan wiala. Ari so, kitail asa, ni a pwarado, kitail pan duäla i, pwe kitail pan kilang i ni udan mom a.
3 All those who have this hope in them make sure they are pure, just as he is pure.
O amen amen, me kaporopor due met, a en kamakelekele pein i duen i me makelekel.
4 All those who sin are lawless, because sin is lawlessness.
Amen amen me kin wia dip, pil kin palian kapung, pwe iei dip palian kapung.
5 But of course you know that Jesus came to take away sins, and that there is no sin in him.
O komail asa, i me a pwarado, pwen lapwada dip akan. A dip sota kin mi re a.
6 All those who live in him don't go on sinning; all those who keep on sinning haven't seen him and haven't known him.
Meamen, me pot re a, sota kin wia dip; meamen wia dip, sota kilang i o sota dedeki.
7 Dear friends, don't let anyone fool you: those who do what is right are right, in the same way as Jesus is right.
Sama ko, kalaka, pwe amen de kasapunga komail. Me kin wia pung, nan i me pung amen, due i me pung.
8 Those who sin are of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. That's the reason why the Son of God came—to destroy what the devil has done.
Me kin wia dip, i nain tewil, pwe tewil me wia dip sang ni tapi o. I me Sapwilim en Kot kotin pwarado, pwen kawela wiawia en tewil.
9 All those who are born of God don't keep on sinning, for God's nature lives in them. They can't keep on sinning because they are born of God.
Meamen me ipwi sang Kot, sota kin wia dip, pwe war a mi re a, o a so kak wia dip, pwe a ipwi sang ren Kot.
10 This is how God's children and the devil's children can be distinguished: all those who don't do what's right don't belong to God, nor do those who don't love their fellow Christians.
I me seri en Kot o seri en tewil sansale kida, me so wia me pung, i me so sang ren Kot, o me so pok ong ri a.
11 The message you've heard from the beginning is simply this: we should love one another.
Pwe iet padak, me komail ronger sang ni tapi o, kitail en pokepoke pena.
12 We cannot be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and murdered his brother. Why did he murder him? Because Cain did what was evil, while his brother did what was right.
Kaidin due Kain, me udan me sued amen, ap kamela ri a. Ari, menda a kamela i? Aki a wiawia me sued, a en ri a me pung.
13 So don't be surprised, my friends, if this world hates you!
Ri ai ko, der puriamuiki, ma men sappa kin tata kin komail.
14 The reason we know that we have changed from death to life is because we love our Christian brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn't love remains dead.
Kitail asa, me kitail daulier mela, ap ko ong maur, pwe kitail kin pok ong ri atail akan. Ari, me so limpok, pan mimieta nan mela.
15 All those who hate their Christian brothers and sisters are murderers, and you know that no murderers have eternal life within them! (aiōnios g166)
Meamen, me kin tata ki ri a, nan i me kamela men. A komail asa, maur soutuk sota kin mi ren me kamela men. (aiōnios g166)
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.
I me kitail diar kida limpok. A kotiki wei maur pweki kitail; kitail ari pwaipwandeki maur atail ong ri atail akan.
17 If one of you is living well in this world and you see your Christian brother or sister in need, but you don't show compassion—how can God's love be living in you?
Meamen me muei met ap kilang ri a dupokala, ap sota sauasa i, iaduen limpok en Kot pan kak mi re a?
18 Dear friends, let's not just say we love with words, but show our love in what we do and how we demonstrate the truth.
Sama ko, kitail der pok pena ni lokaia ta o lo, a ni wiawia o melel pot.
19 This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will set our minds at rest before God
I me kitail pan asaki, me kitail kisan melel, o kainsenemauiela mongiong atail re a,
20 whenever we think we're in the wrong. God is greater than how we think, and he knows everything.
Pwe ma mongiong atail kadeikada kitail, nan Kot me lapa sang mongiong atail o lelapokki meakan karos.
21 Dear friends, if we're reassured we're not in the wrong, we can have confidence before God.
Kompok kan, ma mongiong atail so kadeikada kitail, nan kitail aima ong Kot.
22 We'll receive from him whatever we ask him for, because we follow his commands and do what pleases him.
O meakot kitail poeki re a, kitail pan tungole sang i, pwe kitail nekinekid a kusoned akan, o wiada meakan, me a kin pole kila.
23 This is what he commands: we should trust in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us to do.
Ietet a kusoned: Kitail en poson mar en sapwilim a Ol Iesus Kristus, o poke pena, duen a kotiki ong kitail kusoned o.
24 Those who keep his commands continue to live in him, and he lives in them. We know that he lives in us by the Spirit he has given us.
A me kin nekinekid a kusoned akan, pan pot re a, o i pan kotikot re a; o iet me kitail asaki, a kotikot re atail: Ngen o, me a kupurai dong kitail er.
