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.
1Kuapeuh Jesu tuh Kris ahi chih gingta tuh Pathian suahsak ahi; kuapeuh a suaksakpa itin a suahsak leng a it nak.
2Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.
2Hiaiah Pathian tate i it chih i thei, Pathian i ita, a thupiakte i zuihin.
3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
3Pathian i itna tuh hiah ahi, a thupiakte i zuihna; a thupiakte tuh a haksa ngal keia.
4For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, [even] our faith.
4Pathian suahsak peuhin khovel a zou jel ngala; hiai ahi khovel tunga vualzohna, i ginna.
5And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
5Jesu tuh Pathian Tapa ahi chih gingmi kia ngal lou, kuan khovel a zou jela?
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.
6Hiai ahi, tui leh sisana hongpaipa, Jesu Kris; tui kiaah hi louin, tuiah leh sisan ah ahi jaw.
7And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
7Theisakpa tuh Kha ahi, Kha tuh thutak a hihjiakin.
8For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.
8Theihpihtu thum a om uhi, Kha leh tui leh sisan; huai thumte tuh akituhtuak uhi.
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.
9Mihing theihsakna bawn i san leh, Pathian theihsakna a thupi zo ngala; Pathian theihsakna tuh hiai ahi, Ka Tapa tanchin ka theisakta, chih ahi ngala.
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.
10Pathian Tapa gingmi amah ah theihna aneia Pathian gingloumin amah tuh juautheiin abawl ahi, Pathianin a Tapa tanchin a theihsak tuh a gintak louh jiakin.
11And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
11Theihsakna tuh hiai ahi, Pathianin khantawna hinna a honpia a, huai hinna tuh a Tapa ah a om hi.
12He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.
12Tua Tapa neiin hinna a nei hi; Pathian Tapa neilouin hinna a neikei hi.
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.
13Khantawnin hinna na nei uh chih na theihna ding un, nou Pathian Tapa min gingtate kiangah hiai thu ka gelh a hi
14And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
14Hiaipen amah tunga i hanna ahi, bangpeuhmah amah deihlam banga i nget leh, aman a honngaihkhiak sak nakna ah;
15and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
15Huchiin, bangpeuhmah i nget tuh a honngaih khiaksak chih i thei leh, a kianga i thil nget tak tuh i muta chih i thei hi.
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.
16Kuapeuhmahin a unau, sihna khop hi lou khelhna hihin mu leh, a nget sak ding, huchiin Pathianin a ngenmi kiangah sihna khop hi lou khelhna hihte adingin hinna a pe ding hi. Sihna khop khelhna a oma; huchi bang lamah a nget sak ding ka chi ahi kei hi.
17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
17Diktatlouhna tengteng tuh khelhna ahi; sihna khop hi lou khelhna leng a om sam hi.
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.
18Kuapeuh Pathian suahsakin thil a hihkhial kei chih i thei hi; Pathian Suahsakpan amah a kem gige a, giloupan khoih leng a khoih theikei him ahi.
19We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one.
19Huan, Pathian akipan i hih ua leh, khovel pumpi tuh giloupa thuthuin a om chih i thei hi.
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.
20Huan, Pathian Tapa tuh ahongpaia, Mi diktat tuh theithei dingin theihtheihna a honpia chih i thei behlap uhi; huan, eite, a Tapa Jesu Krisa i om in, Mi Diktat ah i om uhi. Amah tuh Pathian dik tak ahi a, khantawn hinna leng a nei hi.Naute aw, milim lakah kihemkhia un. Amen.
21[My] little children, guard yourselves from idols.
21Naute aw, milim lakah kihemkhia un. Amen.
