1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
1Každý, kto verí, že Ježiš je Kristus, narodil sa z Boha. A každý, kto miluje toho, kto zrodil, miluje aj toho, ktorý sa z neho narodil
2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
2Po tom známe, že milujeme deti Božie, keď milujeme Boha a zachovávame jeho prikázania.
3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
3Lebo toto je tá láska Božia, aby sme zachovávali jeho prikázania, a jeho prikázania nie sú ťažké.
4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
4Lebo všetko, čo sa narodilo z Boha, víťazí nad svetom, a toto je to víťazstvo, ktoré zvíťazilo nad svetom - naša viera.
5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
5Kto iný je tým, kto víťazí nad svetom ako ten, kto verí, že Ježiš je Syn Boží?
6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
6Toto je ten, ktorý prišiel skrze vodu a krv, Ježiš Kristus. Nie len so samou vodou, ale s vodou i krvou. A Duch je, ktorý svedčí, lebo Duch je pravda.
7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
7Pretože traja sú, ktorí svedčia na nebi: Otec, Slovo a Svätý Duch. A tí traja sú jedno.
8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
8A traja sú, ktorí svedčia na zemi: Duch, voda a krv. A tí traja sú v jedno.
9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
9Ak prijímame svedoctvo ľudí, svedoctvo Boha je väčšie. Lebo toto je to svedoctvo Božie, ktoré vysvedčil o svojom Synovi.
10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
10Ten, kto verí v Syna Božieho, má svedoctvo sám v sebe. Kto neverí Bohu, ten ho urobil lhárom, pretože neuveril svedoctvu, ktoré vysvedčil Bôh o svojom Synovi.
11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
11A toto je to svedoctvo, že nám Bôh dal večný život, a ten život je v jeho Synovi.
12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
12Ten, kto má Syna, má život; kto nemá Syna Božieho, nemá života.
13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
13To som napísal vám veriacim v meno Syna Božieho nato, aby ste vedeli, že máte večný život a aby ste verili v meno Syna Božieho.
14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
14A toto je tá smelá dôvera, ktorú máme k nemu, že keď prosíme niečo podľa jeho vôle, čuje nás.
15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
15A keď vieme, že nás čuje, za čokoľvek prosíme, vieme, že máme splnené svoje prosby, ktoré sme prosili od neho.
16If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
16Keby niekto videl svojho brata, že hreší hriechom nie na smrť, bude prosiť za neho, a Bôh mu dá život, tým, ktorí hrešia nie na smrť. Je hriech na smrť, o tom nehovorím, aby o ten prosil.
17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
17Každá neprávosť je hriechom, ale je hriech nie na smrť.
18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
18Vieme, že nikto, kto sa narodil z Boha, nehreší. Ale ten, kto sa narodil z Boha, chráni sa, a ten zlý sa ho nedotýka.
19And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
19Vieme, že sme z Boha, a celý svet leží vo zlom.
20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
20A vieme, že Syn Boží prišiel a dal nám myseľ, aby sme znali toho pravdivého a sme v tom pravdivom, v jeho Synovi, Ježišu Kristovi. To je ten pravdivý Bôh a večný život.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
21Dieťatká, chráňte sa modiel! Ameň.
