¹Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

¹Igaüks, kes usub, et Jeesus on Kristus, on Jumalast sündinud. Igaüks, kes armastab seda, kes ta on sünnitanud, armastab ka seda, kes temast on sündinud.

²in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

²Sellest me tunneme ära, et armastame Jumala lapsi, kui me armastame Jumalat ja teeme tema käskude järgi.

³for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

³See ongi Jumala armastamine, et me peame tema käske, ja tema käsud ei ole rasked.

⁴because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;

⁴Jah, igaüks, kes on sündinud Jumalast, võidab ära maailma. Ja see ongi võit, mis on võitnud ära maailma - meie usk.

⁵who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁵Kes on, kes võidab ära maailma? Eks see, kes usub, et Jeesus on Jumala Poeg!

⁶This one is he who did come through water and blood — Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

⁶Tema on see, kes tuli vee ja verega - Jeesus Kristus. Ta ei tulnud üksnes veega, vaid vee ja verega, ja Vaim on selle tunnistajaks, sest Vaim on tõde.

⁷because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these — the three — are one;

⁷Jah, tunnistajaid on kolm:

⁸and three are who are testifying in the earth], the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.

⁸Vaim, vesi ja veri, ja need kolm on üks.

⁹If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.

⁹Kui me võtame vastu inimeste tunnistuse, siis Jumala tunnistus on suurem, sest see on Jumala tunnistus, et ta on andnud tunnistuse oma Poja kohta.

¹⁰He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

¹⁰Kes usub Jumala Pojasse, sellel on see tunnistus olemas enese sees. Kes ei usu Jumalat, see on teinud tema valelikuks, sest ta pole uskunud tunnistust, mille Jumal on andnud oma Poja kohta.

¹¹and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this — the life — is in His Son;

¹¹Ja see tunnistus on: Jumal on andnud meile igavese elu ja see elu on tema Pojas.

¹²he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God — the life he hath not.

¹²Kellel on Poeg, sellel on elu; kellel ei ole Jumala Poega, sellel pole elu.

¹³These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

¹³Seda ma olen kirjutanud teile, kes te usute Jumala Poja nimesse, et te teaksite: teil on igavene elu.

¹⁴And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

¹⁴Ja see ongi see julgus, mis meil on tema ees, et kui me midagi tema tahtmist mööda palume, siis tema kuuleb meid.

¹⁵and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

¹⁵Kuna me teame, et ta meid kuuleb, mida tahes me paluksime, siis teame ka, et meil on käes need palved, mis me oleme temalt palunud.

¹⁶If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

¹⁶Kui keegi näeb oma venda tegevat pattu, mis ei ole surmaks, siis ta palugu, ja Jumal annab talle elu, neile, kes ei tee pattu surmaks. On pattu, mis on surmaks: selle kohta ma ei ütle, et tal tuleks paluda.

¹⁷all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

¹⁷Kõik ülekohus on patt, aga on pattu, mis ei ole surmaks.

¹⁸We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

¹⁸Me teame, et ükski, kes on sündinud Jumalast, ei tee pattu, sest Jumalast sünnitatu hoiab ennast ja kuri ei puuduta teda.

¹⁹we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;

¹⁹Me teame, et meie oleme Jumalast ja et terve maailm on kurja käes.

²⁰and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

²⁰Aga me teame, et Jumala Poeg on tulnud ja andnud meile mõistmise, et me tunneksime ära Tõelise. Ja meie oleme Tõelises, tema Pojas Jeesuses Kristuses. Seesama on tõeline Jumal ja igavene elu.

²¹Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.

²¹Lapsed, hoiduge ebajumalate eest!
