¹انظروا اية محبة اعطانا الآب حتى ندعى اولاد الله. من اجل هذا لا يعرفنا العالم لانه لا يعرفه.

¹Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and [such] we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

²ايها الاحباء الآن نحن اولاد الله ولم يظهر بعد ماذا سنكون. ولكن نعلم انه اذا أظهر نكون مثله لاننا سنراه كما هو.

²Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

³وكل من عنده هذا الرجاء به يطهر نفسه كما هو طاهر.

³And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

⁴كل من يفعل الخطية يفعل التعدي ايضا. والخطية هي التعدي.

⁴Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

⁵وتعلمون ان ذاك أظهر لكي يرفع خطايانا وليس فيه خطية.

⁵And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.

⁶كل من يثبت فيه لا يخطئ. كل من يخطئ لم يبصره ولا عرفه

⁶Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.

⁷ايها الاولاد لا يضلّكم احد. من يفعل البر فهو بار كما ان ذاك بار

⁷[My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:

⁸من يفعل الخطية فهو من ابليس لان ابليس من البدء يخطئ. لاجل هذا أظهر ابن الله لكي ينقض اعمال ابليس.

⁸he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

⁹كل من هو مولود من الله لا يفعل خطية لان زرعه يثبت فيه ولا يستطيع ان يخطئ لانه مولود من الله.

⁹Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.

¹⁰بهذا اولاد الله ظاهرون واولاد ابليس. كل من لا يفعل البر فليس من الله وكذا من لا يحب اخاه.

¹⁰In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

¹¹لان هذا هو الخبر الذي سمعتموه من البدء ان يحب بعضنا بعضا.

¹¹For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:

¹²ليس كما كان قايين من الشرير وذبح اخاه. ولماذا ذبحه. لان اعماله كانت شريرة واعمال اخيه بارة

¹²not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

¹³لا تتعجبوا يا اخوتي ان كان العالم يبغضكم.

¹³Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you.

¹⁴نحن نعلم اننا قد انتقلنا من الموت الى الحياة لاننا نحب الاخوة. من لا يحب اخاه يبق في الموت.

¹⁴We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.

¹⁵كل من يبغض اخاه فهو قاتل نفس. وانتم تعلمون ان كل قاتل نفس ليس له حياة ابدية ثابتة فيه.

¹⁵Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

¹⁶بهذا قد عرفنا المحبة ان ذاك وضع نفسه لاجلنا فنحن ينبغي لنا ان نضع نفوسنا لاجل الاخوة.

¹⁶Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁷واما من كان له معيشة العالم ونظر اخاه محتاجا واغلق احشاءه عنه فكيف تثبت محبة الله فيه.

¹⁷But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?

¹⁸يا اولادي لا نحب بالكلام ولا باللسان بل بالعمل والحق.

¹⁸[My] Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

¹⁹وبهذا نعرف اننا من الحق ونسكن قلوبنا قدامه.

¹⁹Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:

²⁰لانه ان لامتنا قلوبنا فالله اعظم من قلوبنا ويعلم كل شيء

²⁰because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

²¹ايها الاحباء ان لم تلمنا قلوبنا فلنا ثقة من نحو الله

²¹Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;

²²ومهما سألنا ننال منه لاننا نحفظ وصاياه ونعمل الاعمال المرضية امامه.

²²and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

²³وهذه هي وصيته ان نؤمن باسم ابنه يسوع المسيح ونحب بعضنا بعضا كما اعطانا وصية.

²³And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.

²⁴ومن يحفظ وصاياه يثبت فيه وهو فيه. وبهذا نعرف انه يثبت فينا من الروح الذي اعطانا

²⁴And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
