1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1[] Τεκνια μου, ταυτα σας γραφω δια να μη αμαρτησητε. Και εαν τις αμαρτηση, εχομεν παρακλητον προς τον Πατερα, τον Ιησουν Χριστον τον δικαιον·
2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
2και αυτος ειναι ιλασμος περι των αμαρτιων ημων, και ουχι μονον περι των ημετερων, αλλα και περι ολου του κοσμου.
3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
3[] Και εν τουτω γνωριζομεν οτι εγνωρισαμεν αυτον, εαν τας εντολας αυτου φυλαττωμεν.
4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
4Οστις λεγει, Εγνωρισα αυτον, και τας εντολας αυτου δεν φυλαττει, ψευστης ειναι, και εν τουτω η αληθεια δεν υπαρχει·
5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
5οστις ομως φυλαττη τον λογον αυτου, αληθως εν τουτω η αγαπη του Θεου ειναι τετελειωμενη. Εν τουτω γνωριζομεν οτι ειμεθα εν αυτω.
6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
6Οστις λεγει οτι μενει εν αυτω χρεωστει, καθως εκεινος περιεπατησε, και αυτος ουτω να περιπατη.
7Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
7[] Αδελφοι, δεν σας γραφω εντολην νεαν, αλλ' εντολην παλαιαν, την οποιαν ειχετε απ' αρχης· η εντολη η παλαια ειναι ο λογος, τον οποιον ηκουσατε απ' αρχης.
8Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
8Παλιν εντολην νεαν σας γραφω, το οποιον ειναι αληθες εις αυτον και εις εσας, διοτι το σκοτος παρερχεται και το φως το αληθινον ηδη φεγγει.
9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
9Οστις λεγει οτι ειναι εν τω φωτι και μισει τον αδελφον αυτου, εν τω σκοτει ειναι εως τωρα.
10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
10Οστις αγαπα τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει, και σκανδαλον εν αυτω δεν ειναι·
11But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
11οστις ομως μισει τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω σκοτει ειναι και εν τω σκοτει περιπατει και δεν εξευρει που υπαγει, διοτι το σκοτος ετυφλωσε τους οφθαλμους αυτου.
12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
12[] Γραφω προς εσας, τεκνια, διοτι συνεχωρηθησαν αι αμαρτιαι σας δια το ονομα αυτου.
13I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
13Γραφω προς εσας, πατερες, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον απ' αρχης. Γραφω προς εσας, νεανισκοι, διοτι ενικησατε τον πονηρον. Γραφω προς εσας, παιδια, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον Πατερα.
14I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
14Εγραψα προς εσας, πατερες, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον απ' αρχης. Εγραψα προς εσας, νεανισκοι, διοτι εισθε ισχυροι και ο λογος του Θεου μενει εν υμιν και ενικησατε τον πονηρον.
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
15Μη αγαπατε τον κοσμον μηδε τα εν τω κοσμω. Εαν τις αγαπα τον κοσμον, η αγαπη του Πατρος δεν ειναι εν αυτω·
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
16διοτι παν το εν τω κοσμω, η επιθυμια της σαρκος και η επιθυμια των οφθαλμων και η αλαζονεια του βιου δεν ειναι εκ του Πατρος, αλλ' ειναι εκ του κοσμου.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
17Και ο κοσμος παρερχεται και η επιθυμια αυτου· οστις ομως πραττει το θελημα του Θεου μενει εις τον αιωνα.
18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
18[] Παιδια, εσχατη ωρα ειναι, και καθως ηκουσατε οτι ο αντιχριστος ερχεται, και τωρα πολλοι αντιχριστοι υπαρχουσιν· οθεν γνωριζομεν οτι ειναι εσχατη ωρα.
19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
19Εξ ημων εξηλθον, αλλα δεν ησαν εξ ημων· διοτι εαν ησαν εξ ημων, ηθελον μενει μεθ' υμων· αλλα εξηλθον δια να φανερωθωσιν οτι δεν ειναι παντες εξ ημων.
20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
20[] Και σεις εχετε χρισμα απο του Αγιου και γνωριζετε παντα.
21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
21Δεν σας εγραψα διοτι δεν εξευρετε την αληθειαν, αλλα διοτι εξευρετε αυτην, και διοτι παν ψευδος εκ της αληθειας δεν ειναι.
22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
22Τις ειναι ο ψευστης, ειμη ο αρνουμενος οτι ο Ιησους δεν ειναι ο Χριστος; ουτος ειναι ο αντιχριστος, ο αρνουμενος τον Πατερα και τον Υιον.
23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
23Πας ο αρνουμενος τον Υιον δεν εχει ουδε τον Πατερα. Οστις ομολογει τον Υιον εχει και τον Πατερα.
24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
24Εκεινο λοιπον το οποιον υμεις ηκουσατε απ' αρχης, ας μενη εν υμιν. Εαν μενη εν υμιν εκεινο το οποιον ηκουσατε απ' αρχης, και υμεις θελετε μενει εν τω Υιω και εν τω Πατρι.
25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
25Και αυτη ειναι η υποσχεσις, την οποιαν αυτος υπεσχεθη προς ημας, η ζωη η αιωνιος.
26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
26Ταυτα σας εγραψα περι εκεινων, οιτινες σας πλανωσι.
27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
27Και το χρισμα, το οποιον υμεις ελαβετε απ' αυτου, εν υμιν μενει, και δεν εχετε χρειαν να σας διδασκη τις· αλλα καθως σας διδασκει το αυτο χρισμα περι παντων, ουτω και αληθες ειναι και δεν ειναι ψευδος· και καθως σας εδιδαξε, θελετε μενει εν αυτω.
28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
28[] Και τωρα, τεκνια, μενετε εν αυτω, ινα οταν φανερωθη, εχωμεν παρρησιαν και μη αισχυνθωμεν απ' αυτου εν τη παρουσια αυτου.
29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
29Εαν εξευρητε οτι ειναι δικαιος, γνωριζετε οτι πας ο πραττων την δικαιοσυνην εξ αυτου εγεννηθη.
