¹[] Πας οστις πιστευει οτι ο Ιησους ειναι ο Χριστος, εκ του Θεου εγεννηθη, και πας οστις αγαπα τον γεννησαντα αγαπα και τον γεννηθεντα εξ αυτου.

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

²Εκ τουτου γνωριζομεν οτι αγαπωμεν τα τεκνα του Θεου, οταν τον Θεον αγαπωμεν και τας εντολας αυτου φυλαττωμεν.

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

³Διοτι αυτη ειναι η αγαπη του Θεου, το να φυλαττωμεν τας εντολας αυτου· και αι εντολαι αυτου βαρειαι δεν ειναι.

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

⁴Διοτι παν ο, τι εγεννηθη εκ του Θεου νικα τον κοσμον· και αυτη ειναι η νικη η νικησασα τον κοσμον, η πιστις ημων.

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

⁵Τις ειναι ο νικων τον κοσμον ειμη ο πιστευων οτι ο Ιησους ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου;

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

⁶[] Ουτος ειναι ο ελθων δι' υδατος και αιματος, Ιησους ο Χριστος· ουχι δια του υδατος μονον, αλλα δια του υδατος και του αιματος· και το Πνευμα ειναι το οποιον μαρτυρει, επειδη το Πνευμα ειναι η αληθεια.

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.

⁷Διοτι τρεις ειναι οι μαρτυρουντες εν τω ουρανω, ο Πατηρ, ο Λογος και το Αγιον Πνευμα, και ουτοι οι τρεις ειναι εν·

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” :

⁸και τρεις ειναι οι μαρτυρουντες εν τη γη, το Πνευμα και το υδωρ και το αιμα, και οι τρεις ουτοι αναφερονται εις το εν.

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

⁹Εαν δεχωμεθα την μαρτυριαν των ανθρωπων, η μαρτυρια του Θεου ειναι μεγαλητερα· διοτι αυτη ειναι η μαρτυρια του Θεου, την οποιαν εμαρτυρησε περι του Υιου αυτου.

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.

¹⁰[] Οστις πιστευει εις τον Υιον του Θεου εχει την μαρτυριαν εν εαυτω· οστις δεν πιστευει εις τον Θεον, εκαμεν αυτον ψευστην, διοτι δεν επιστευσεν εις την μαρτυριαν, την οποιαν εμαρτυρησεν ο Θεος περι του Υιου αυτου.

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.

¹¹Και αυτη ειναι μαρτυρια, οτι ζωην αιωνιον εδωκεν εις ημας ο Θεος, και αυτη η ζωη ειναι εν τω Υιω αυτου.

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

¹²Οστις εχει τον Υιον εχει την ζωην· οστις δεν εχει τον Υιον του Θεου, την ζωην δεν εχει.

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

¹³Ταυτα εγραψα προς εσας τους πιστευοντας εις το ονομα του Υιου του Θεου, δια να γνωριζητε οτι εχετε ζωην αιωνιον, και δια να πιστευητε εις το ονομα του Υιου του Θεου.

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.

¹⁴[] Και αυτη ειναι η παρρησια, την οποιαν εχομεν προς αυτον, οτι εαν ζητωμεν τι κατα το θελημα αυτου, ακουει ημας.

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

¹⁵Και εαν εξευρωμεν οτι ακουει ημας ο, τι αν ζητησωμεν, εξευρομεν οτι λαμβανομεν τα ζητηματα, τα οποια εζητησαμεν παρ' αυτου.

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.

¹⁶Εαν τις ιδη τον αδελφον αυτου αμαρτανοντα αμαρτιαν ουχι θανασιμον, θελει ζητησει, και ο Θεος θελει δωσει εις αυτον ζωην, εις τους αμαρτανοντας ουχι θανασιμως. Ειναι αμαρτια θανασιμος· δεν λεγω περι εκεινης να παρακαλεση.

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.

¹⁷Πασα αδικια ειναι αμαρτια· και ειναι αμαρτια ουχι θανασιμος.

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

¹⁸[] Εξευρομεν οτι πας ο γεννηθεις εκ του Θεου δεν αμαρτανει, αλλ' οστις εγεννηθη εκ του Θεου φυλαττει αυτον, και ο πονηρος δεν εγγιζει αυτον.

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.

¹⁹Εξευρομεν οτι εκ του Θεου ειμεθα, και ο κοσμος ολος εν τω πονηρω κειται.

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

²⁰Εξευρομεν δε οτι ο Υιος του Θεου ηλθε και εδωκεν εις ημας νοησιν, δια να γνωριζωμεν τον αληθινον· και ειμεθα εν τω αληθινω, εν τω Υιω αυτου Ιησου Χριστω. Ουτος ειναι ο αληθινος Θεος και η ζωη η αιωνιος.

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.

²¹Τεκνια, φυλαξατε εαυτους απο των ειδωλων· αμην.

²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
