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.

¹Každý, kto verí, že Ježiš je Kristus, narodil sa z Boha. A každý, kto miluje toho, kto zrodil, miluje aj toho, ktorý sa z neho narodil

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

²Po tom známe, že milujeme deti Božie, keď milujeme Boha a zachovávame jeho prikázania.

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

³Lebo toto je tá láska Božia, aby sme zachovávali jeho prikázania, a jeho prikázania nie sú ťažké.

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

⁴Lebo všetko, čo sa narodilo z Boha, víťazí nad svetom, a toto je to víťazstvo, ktoré zvíťazilo nad svetom - naša viera.

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

⁵Kto iný je tým, kto víťazí nad svetom ako ten, kto verí, že Ježiš je Syn Boží?

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.

⁶Toto je ten, ktorý prišiel skrze vodu a krv, Ježiš Kristus. Nie len so samou vodou, ale s vodou i krvou. A Duch je, ktorý svedčí, lebo Duch je pravda.

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

⁷Pretože traja sú, ktorí svedčia na nebi: Otec, Slovo a Svätý Duch. A tí traja sú jedno.

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

⁸A traja sú, ktorí svedčia na zemi: Duch, voda a krv. A tí traja sú v jedno.

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.

⁹Ak prijímame svedoctvo ľudí, svedoctvo Boha je väčšie. Lebo toto je to svedoctvo Božie, ktoré vysvedčil o svojom Synovi.

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.

¹⁰Ten, kto verí v Syna Božieho, má svedoctvo sám v sebe. Kto neverí Bohu, ten ho urobil lhárom, pretože neuveril svedoctvu, ktoré vysvedčil Bôh o svojom Synovi.

¹¹And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹¹A toto je to svedoctvo, že nám Bôh dal večný život, a ten život je v jeho Synovi.

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

¹²Ten, kto má Syna, má život; kto nemá Syna Božieho, nemá života.

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.

¹³To som napísal vám veriacim v meno Syna Božieho nato, aby ste vedeli, že máte večný život a aby ste verili v meno Syna Božieho.

¹⁴And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:

¹⁴A toto je tá smelá dôvera, ktorú máme k nemu, že keď prosíme niečo podľa jeho vôle, čuje nás.

¹⁵and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

¹⁵A keď vieme, že nás čuje, za čokoľvek prosíme, vieme, že máme splnené svoje prosby, ktoré sme prosili od neho.

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.

¹⁶Keby niekto videl svojho brata, že hreší hriechom nie na smrť, bude prosiť za neho, a Bôh mu dá život, tým, ktorí hrešia nie na smrť. Je hriech na smrť, o tom nehovorím, aby o ten prosil.

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

¹⁷Každá neprávosť je hriechom, ale je hriech nie na smrť.

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.

¹⁸Vieme, že nikto, kto sa narodil z Boha, nehreší. Ale ten, kto sa narodil z Boha, chráni sa, a ten zlý sa ho nedotýka.

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

¹⁹Vieme, že sme z Boha, a celý svet leží vo zlom.

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.

²⁰A vieme, že Syn Boží prišiel a dal nám myseľ, aby sme znali toho pravdivého a sme v tom pravdivom, v jeho Synovi, Ježišu Kristovi. To je ten pravdivý Bôh a večný život.

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

²¹Dieťatká, chráňte sa modiel! Ameň.
