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.

¹Vsak, kdor veruje, da Jezus je Kristus, je rojen iz Boga; in vsak, kdor ljubi njega, ki ga je rodil, ljubi tudi tega, ki je rojen iz njega.

²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

²V tem spoznavamo, da ljubimo otroke Božje, ako ljubimo Boga in izpolnjujemo zapovedi njegove.

³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

³Kajti to je ljubezen Božja, da držimo zapovedi njegove; in zapovedi njegove niso težke.

⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

⁴Ker vse, kar je rojeno iz Boga, premaga svet; in to je zmaga, ki je premagala svet: vera naša.

⁵Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁵Kdo je, ki premaga svet, če ne tisti, ki veruje, da je Jezus Sin Božji?

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.

⁶Ta je, ki je prišel po vodi in krvi, Jezus Kristus; ne z vodo samo, ampak z vodo in s krvjo.

⁷For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

⁷In Duh je, ki pričuje, ker Duh je resnica.

⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

⁸Kajti trije so, ki pričajo: Duh in voda in kri, in ti trije so eno v svojem pričanju.

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.

⁹Če sprejemamo pričevanje ljudi, pričevanje Božje je večje: kajti to je pričevanje Božje, da je pričal za Sina svojega.

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.

¹⁰Kdor veruje v Sina Božjega, ima pričevanje v sebi; kdor ne veruje Bogu, ga je naredil za lažnika, ker ni veroval v pričevanje, ki ga je Bog pričal za Sina svojega.

¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹¹In to je pričevanje: da nam je Bog dal večno življenje, in to življenje je v Sinu njegovem.

¹²He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

¹²Kdor ima Sina ima življenje; kdor nima Sina Božjega, nima življenja.

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 sem vam pisal, da veste, da imate večno življenje, kateri verujete v ime Sina Božjega.

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

¹⁴In to je trdno zaupanje, ki ga imamo do njega, da nas sliši, ako kaj prosimo po volji njegovi;

¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

¹⁵in če vemo, da nas sliši, česarkoli prosimo, vemo, da nam je izpolnjeno, česar smo ga prosili.

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.

¹⁶Ako kdo vidi brata svojega, da greši, a ne greha za smrt, bo prosil, in dá mu Bog življenje, njim namreč, ki ne greše za smrt. Je greh za smrt; ne za tega, pravim, naj prosi.

¹⁷All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

¹⁷Sleherna krivica je greh; a je greh, ki ni za smrt.

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.

¹⁸Vemo, da kdorkoli je rojen iz Boga, ne greši; temuč kdor je bil rojen iz Boga, varuje sebe in Hudobni se ga ne dotakne.

¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

¹⁹Vemo, da smo iz Boga, in ves svet leži v Hudobnem.

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.

²⁰Vemo pa, da je Sin Božji prišel in nam dal razum, da spoznamo Resničnega; in smo v Resničnem, v Sinu njegovem Jezusu Kristusu. Ta je resnični Bog in življenje večno.Otročiči, varujte se malikov!

²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

²¹Otročiči, varujte se malikov!
