Ιωαννου Α΄ 2
1 τεκνια μου ταυτα γραφω υμιν ινα μη αμαρτητε και εαν τισ αμαρτη παρακλητον εχομεν προσ τον πατερα ιησουν χριστον δικαιον
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 και αυτοσ ιλασμοσ εστιν περι των αμαρτιων ημων ου περι των ημετερων δε μονον αλλα και περι ολου του κοσμου
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εγνωκαμεν αυτον εαν τασ εντολασ αυτου τηρωμεν
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 ο λεγων εγνωκα αυτον και τασ εντολασ αυτου μη τηρων ψευστησ εστιν και εν τουτω η αληθεια ουκ εστιν
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 οσ δ αν τηρη αυτου τον λογον αληθωσ εν τουτω η αγαπη του θεου τετελειωται εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω εσμεν
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 ο λεγων εν αυτω μενειν οφειλει καθωσ εκεινοσ περιεπατησεν και αυτοσ ουτωσ περιπατειν
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 αδελφοι ουκ εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν αλλ εντολην παλαιαν ην ειχετε απ αρχησ η εντολη η παλαια εστιν ο λογοσ ον ηκουσατε απ αρχησ
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
8 παλιν εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν ο εστιν αληθεσ εν αυτω και εν υμιν οτι η σκοτια παραγεται και το φωσ το αληθινον ηδη φαινει
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
9 ο λεγων εν τω φωτι ειναι και τον αδελφον αυτου μισων εν τη σκοτια εστιν εωσ αρτι
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 ο αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει και σκανδαλον εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 ο δε μισων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τη σκοτια εστιν και εν τη σκοτια περιπατει και ουκ οιδεν που υπαγει οτι η σκοτια ετυφλωσεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 γραφω υμιν τεκνια οτι αφεωνται υμιν αι αμαρτιαι δια το ονομα αυτου
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 γραφω υμιν πατερεσ οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχησ γραφω υμιν νεανισκοι οτι νενικηκατε τον πονηρον γραφω υμιν παιδια οτι εγνωκατε τον πατερα
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 εγραψα υμιν πατερεσ οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχησ εγραψα υμιν νεανισκοι οτι ισχυροι εστε και ο λογοσ του θεου εν υμιν μενει και νενικηκατε τον πονηρον
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 μη αγαπατε τον κοσμον μηδε τα εν τω κοσμω εαν τισ αγαπα τον κοσμον ουκ εστιν η αγαπη του πατροσ εν αυτω
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 οτι παν το εν τω κοσμω η επιθυμια τησ σαρκοσ και η επιθυμια των οφθαλμων και η αλαζονεια του βιου ουκ εστιν εκ του πατροσ αλλ εκ του κοσμου εστιν
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 και ο κοσμοσ παραγεται και η επιθυμια αυτου ο δε ποιων το θελημα του θεου μενει εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 παιδια εσχατη ωρα εστιν και καθωσ ηκουσατε οτι ο αντιχριστοσ ερχεται και νυν αντιχριστοι πολλοι γεγονασιν οθεν γινωσκομεν οτι εσχατη ωρα εστιν
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 εξ ημων εξηλθον αλλ ουκ ησαν εξ ημων ει γαρ ησαν εξ ημων μεμενηκεισαν αν μεθ ημων αλλ ινα φανερωθωσιν οτι ουκ εισιν παντεσ εξ ημων
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20 και υμεισ χρισμα εχετε απο του αγιου και οιδατε παντα
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 ουκ εγραψα υμιν οτι ουκ οιδατε την αληθειαν αλλ οτι οιδατε αυτην και οτι παν ψευδοσ εκ τησ αληθειασ ουκ εστιν
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 τισ εστιν ο ψευστησ ει μη ο αρνουμενοσ οτι ιησουσ ουκ εστιν ο χριστοσ ουτοσ εστιν ο αντιχριστοσ ο αρνουμενοσ τον πατερα και τον υιον
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 πασ ο αρνουμενοσ τον υιον ουδε τον πατερα εχει
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 υμεισ ουν ο ηκουσατε απ αρχησ εν υμιν μενετω εαν εν υμιν μεινη ο απ αρχησ ηκουσατε και υμεισ εν τω υιω και εν τω πατρι μενειτε
As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 ταυτα εγραψα υμιν περι των πλανωντων υμασ
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 και υμεισ το χρισμα ο ελαβετε απ αυτου εν υμιν μενει και ου χρειαν εχετε ινα τισ διδασκη υμασ αλλ ωσ το αυτο χρισμα διδασκει υμασ περι παντων και αληθεσ εστιν και ουκ εστιν ψευδοσ και καθωσ εδιδαξεν υμασ μενειτε εν αυτω
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.
28 και νυν τεκνια μενετε εν αυτω ινα οταν φανερωθη εχωμεν παρρησιαν και μη αισχυνθωμεν απ αυτου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 εαν ειδητε οτι δικαιοσ εστιν γινωσκετε οτι πασ ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην εξ αυτου γεγεννηται
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
