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.

¹Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

²Sellest me tunneme ära, et armastame Jumala lapsi, kui me armastame Jumalat ja teeme tema käskude järgi.

²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

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

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

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

⁴For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

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

⁵Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

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.

⁶This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

⁷Jah, tunnistajaid on kolm:

⁷For there are three who testify Only a few recent manuscripts add “in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth” :

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

⁸the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

⁹Kui me võtame vastu inimeste tunnistuse, siis Jumala tunnistus on suurem, sest see on Jumala tunnistus, et ta on andnud tunnistuse oma Poja kohta.

⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified 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.

¹⁰He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

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

¹¹The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

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

¹²He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

¹³Seda ma olen kirjutanud teile, kes te usute Jumala Poja nimesse, et te teaksite: teil on igavene elu.

¹³These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

¹⁴Ja see ongi see julgus, mis meil on tema ees, et kui me midagi tema tahtmist mööda palume, siis tema kuuleb meid.

¹⁴This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

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.

¹⁵And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

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.

¹⁶If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

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

¹⁷All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

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

¹⁸We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

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

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

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.

²⁰We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

²¹Lapsed, hoiduge ebajumalate eest!

²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
