¹Maiteác, spiritu gucia ezteçaçuela sinhets, baina phorogaitzaçue spirituac eya Iaincoaganic diradenez: ecen anhitz propheta falsu ethorri içan dirade mundura.

¹Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

²Hunetan eçagut eçaçue Iaincoaren Spiritua. Iesus Christ haraguitara ethorri dela confessatzen duen spiritu gucia, Iaincoaganic da.

²Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in flesh is of God;

³Eta cein-ere spirituc ezpaitu confessatzen Iesus Christ haraguitara ethorri içan dela hura ezta Iaincoaganic: eta halaco spiritua Antechristena da, ceinez minçatzen ençun vkan baituçue, ecen ethorteco dela, eta ia orain munduan da.

³and every spirit which does not confess Jesus Christ come in flesh is not of God: and this is that [power] of the antichrist, [of] which ye have heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world.

⁴Haourtoác, çuec Iaincoaganic çarete, eta garaithu çaizte hæy: ecen handiago da çuetan dena, ecen ez munduan dena.

⁴*Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that [is] in you than he that [is] in the world.

⁵Hec mundutic dirade, halacotz munduaz minço dirade, eta mundua hæy behatzen çaye.

⁵*They* are of the world; for this reason they speak [as] of the world, and the world hears them.

⁶Gu Iaincoaganic gara: Iaincoa eçagutzen duena, guri behatzen çaicu: Iaincoaganic eztena guri etzaicu behatzen: hunetan eçagutzen dugu eguiazco Spiritua, eta errorezco spiritua.

⁶*We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

⁷Maiteác, elkarri on eritzi dieçogun: ecen charitatea Iaincoaganic da: eta norc-ere onhesten baitu, hura Iaincoagaoic iayo da, eta eçagutzen du Iaincoa.

⁷Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

⁸Onhesten eztuenac, eztu eçagutzen Iaincoa: ecen Iaincoa charitate da.

⁸He that loves not has not known God; for God is love.

⁹Hunetan manifestatu içan da Iaincoaren gureganaco charitatea, ceren bere Seme bakoitza igorri vkan baitu Iaincoac mundura, harçaz vici garençát.

⁹Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

¹⁰Hunetan da charitatea, ez ceren guc onhetsi dugun Iaincoa, baina ceren harc onhetsi baiquaitu gu, eta igorri vkan baitu bere Semea gure bekatuacgatic appoinctamendu licençát.

¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹¹Maiteac, baldin hunela Iaincoac onhetsi baiquaitu, guc-ere behar dugu elkar onhetsi.

¹¹Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

¹²Iaincoa eztu nehorc ikussi egundano: baldin elkar maite badugu Iaincoa gutan dago, eta haren charitatea complitu da gutan.

¹²No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

¹³Hunetan eçagutzen dugu ecen hartan egoiten garela, eta hura gutan, ceren bere Spiritutic eman baitraucu.

¹³Hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, that he has given to us of his Spirit.

¹⁴Eta guc ikussi vkan dugu, eta testificatzen dugu ecen Aitác igorri vkan duela Semea munduaren Saluadore içateco.

¹⁴And *we* have seen, and testify, that the Father has sent the Son [as] Saviour of the world.

¹⁵Norc-ere confessaturen baitu ecen Iesus dela Iaincoaren Semea, Iaincoa hura baithan dago, eta hura Iaincoa baithan.

¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

¹⁶Eta guc eçagutu eta sinhetsi dugu Iaincoac guregana duen charitatea. Iaincoa charitate da: eta charitatean egoiten dena, Iainco baithan egoiten da, eta Iaincoa hura baithan.

¹⁶And *we* have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

¹⁷Huneçaz complitu içan da charitatea guregana, iudicioco egunean segurança dugunçát, ceren hura den beçalaco baicara gu-ere mundu hunetan.

¹⁷Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as *he* is, *we* also are in this world.

¹⁸Beldurric ezta charitatean: aitzitic charitate perfectoac campora egoizten du beldurra: ecen beldurrac tormenta du: eta beldur dena ezta complitua charitatean.

¹⁸There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love.

¹⁹Guc hari on daritzagu, ceren harc lehenic onhetsi baiquaitu gu.

¹⁹*We* love because *he* has first loved us.

²⁰Baldin nehorc erran badeça, Maite dut Iaincoa: eta bere anayeari gaitz badaritza: gueçurti da: ecen bere anaye dacussana maite eztuenac, ikusten eztuen Iaincoa nola maite ahal duque?

²⁰If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

²¹Eta manamendu haur dugu harenganic, Iaincoa maite duenac, maite duen bere anayea-ere.

²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he that loves God love also his brother.
