1 Yochanan 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.
Videte qualem charitatem dedit nobis Pater, ut filii Dei nominemur et simus. Propter hoc mundus non novit nos: quia non novit eum.
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.
Charissimi, nunc filii Dei sumus: et nondum apparuit quid erimus. Scimus quoniam cum apparuerit, similes ei erimus: quoniam videbimus eum sicuti est.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Et omnis, qui habet hanc spem in eo, sanctificat se, sicut et ille sanctus est.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Omnis, qui facit peccatum, et iniquitatem facit: et peccatum est iniquitas.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
Et scitis quia ille apparuit ut peccata nostra tolleret: et peccatum in eo non est.
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
Omnis, qui in eo manet, non peccat: et omnis, qui peccat, non vidit eum, nec cognovit eum.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Filioli, nemo vos seducat. Qui facit iustitiam, iustus est: sicut et ille iustus est.
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.
Qui facit peccatum, ex diabolo est: quoniam ab initio diabolus peccat. In hoc apparuit Filius Dei, ut dissolvat opera diaboli.
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.
Omnis, qui natus est ex Deo, peccatum non facit: quoniam semen ipsius in eo manet, et non potest peccare, quoniam ex Deo natus est.
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.
In hoc manifesti sunt filii Dei, et filii diaboli. Omnis qui non est iustus, non est ex Deo, et qui non diligit fratrem suum:
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
quoniam hæc est annunciatio, quam audistis ab initio, ut diligatis alterutrum.
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.
Non sicut Cain, qui ex maligno erat, et occidit fratrem suum. Et propter quid occidit eum? Quoniam opera eius maligna erant: fratris autem eius, iusta.
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Nolite mirari fratres, si odit vos mundus.
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.
Nos scimus quoniam translati sumus de morte ad vitam, quoniam diligimus fratres. Qui non diligit, manet in morte:
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
omnis, qui odit fratrem suum, homicida est. Et scitis quoniam omnis homicida non habet vitam æternam in semetipso manentem. (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.
In hoc cognovimus charitatem Dei, quoniam ille animam suam pro nobis posuit: et nos debemus pro fratribus animas ponere.
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?
Qui habuerit substantiam huius mundi, et viderit fratrem suum necessitatem habere, et clauserit viscera sua ab eo: quomodo charitas Dei manet in eo?
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Filioli mei, non diligamus verbo, neque lingua, sed opere et veritate.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
in hoc cognoscimus quoniam ex veritate sumus: et in conspectu eius suadebimus corda nostra.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Quoniam si reprehenderit nos cor nostrum: maior est Deus corde nostro, et novit omnia.
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness towards God;
Charissimi, si cor nostrum non reprehenderit nos, fiduciam habemus ad Deum:
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
et quidquid petierimus, accipiemus ab eo: quoniam mandata eius custodimus, et ea, quæ sunt placita coram eo, facimus.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded.
Et hoc est mandatum eius: Ut credamus in nomine Filii eius Iesu Christi: et diligamus alterutrum, sicut dedit mandatum nobis.
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.
Et qui servat mandata eius, in illo manet, et ipse in eo: et in hoc scimus quoniam manet in nobis de Spiritu, quem dedit nobis.
