¹Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

¹Murhe vortacha, na pachan sa kodolen kai mothon ke si le O Swunto Duxo, numa zumaven le te dikhen te si kodo duxo katar O Del. Ke but xoxamle profeturia avile ande lumia.

²Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

²Numa eta sar zhanena te si O Swunto Duxo le Devlesko: ke kon godi mothola ke O Jesus Kristo avilo ande lumia sar iek manush, kodo si les O Swunto Duxo le Devlesko.

³And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

³Numa kon godi mothola ke O Jesus Kristo chi avilo ande lumia sar iek manush nai les O Swunto Duxo kai avel katar O Del. Numa o duxo le duzhmanosko (xoxamlo kristo) si katar o duzhmano le Kristosko, ke tume ashundian pa kodo duzhmano (xoxamlo kristo) ke trobulas te avel, numa akana vunzhe avilo ande lumia.

⁴Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

⁴Numa tume, murhe shave, le Devleske san, ai nirisardian pe le xoxamle profeton, ke O Swunto Duxo kai si ande tumende mai zuralo lo de sar o duxo kai si ande kodola kai si ande lumia.

⁵They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

⁵Won la lumiake le, anda kodia den duma sar e lumia, ai e lumia ashunel lende.

⁶We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

⁶Numa ame le Devleske sam, ai kodo kai zhanel le Devles ashunel amende; numa kodo kai chi zhanel le Devles chi ashunel amende. Anda kadia, ame sai zhanas savo si O Duxo le chachimasko ai o duxo le xasarimasko.

⁷Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

⁷Murhe kuchi vortacha, trobul te avas drazhi iek kavreske, ke e dragostia avel katar O Del, kas godi si dragostia ando ilo wo si shav Devlesko, ai zhanel le Devles.

⁸He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁸Numa kodo kai nai les dragostia ando ilo, chi zhanel le Devles, ke O Del si dragostia.

⁹In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

⁹Ai O Del sikadia peski dragostia amenge ke tradia peske ieke Shaves ande lumia, saxke pala leste te avel amen o traio.

¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

¹⁰Ai e dragostia si, na ke sas ame dragostia le Devleski, numa ke sas les dragostia amenge, ai tradia peske Shaves saxke pala leste amare bezexa te aven iertime.

¹¹Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

¹¹Murhe vortacha, te samas kadia zurales drago le Devleske, iame trobul te avas drazhi iek kavreske.

¹²No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

¹²Khonik shoxar chi dikhlia le Devles; numa te avasa drazhi iek kavreske, O Del traiil ande amende, ai leski dragostia sikadiol vorta ande amende.

¹³Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

¹³Ame zhanas ke traiisaras ando Del, ai ke O Del traiil ande amende, pala Swunto Duxo kai dia ame.

¹⁴And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

¹⁴Ai ame dikhliam ai phenas ke O Dat tradia peske Shaves te avel O Skepitori la lumiako.

¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

¹⁵Kodo kai mothol ke O Jesus si O Shav le Devlesko, O Del traiil ande leste, ai wo ando Del.

¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

¹⁶Ai ame zhanas e dragostia kai si le Devles amenge ai pachas ame.O Del si dragostia; ai kodo kai traiil ande dragostia traiil ando Del, ai O Del ande leste.

¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

¹⁷Te sikavel ke e dragostia chaches si ande amende, ke chi daras amaro ilo kana beshas angla leste po dies kai avela e kris le Devleski, ai ke traiisaras ande kadia lumia sar O Kristo traiisardia.

¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

¹⁸Nai dar ande dragostia. Ai e chachi dragostia gonil e dar. E dragostia nai chachi ande kodo kai daral, ke e dar kerel te gindis ke doshalo san.

¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

¹⁹Numa drago amenge le Devles, ke sas leske drago amenge mai anglal.

²⁰If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

²⁰"Drago mange le Devles." ai te si leske griatsa lesko phral, wo xoxavel. Ke kodo kai nai leske drago lesko phral kai dikhel les, sar sai avel leske drago O Del kai chi dikhel les?

²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

²¹Ai eta o zakono kai dia ame O Kristo: kodo kai si leske drago O Del trobul te avel leske drago vi lesko phral.
