¹Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that 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.

²Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.

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 we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

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

⁴For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, [even] our faith.

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

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

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

⁶This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.

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.

⁷And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

⁷Jah, tunnistajaid on kolm:

⁸For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.

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

⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness 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 that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne 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 the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

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

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

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

¹³These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, [even] unto you that believe on 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 which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth 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 know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of 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 man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and [God] will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.

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 a sin not unto death.

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

¹⁸We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.

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

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one.

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

²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we 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.

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.

²¹[My] little children, guard yourselves from idols.

²¹Lapsed, hoiduge ebajumalate eest!
