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