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

¹Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

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

²in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

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

³for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

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

⁴because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;

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

⁵who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

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.

⁶This one is he who did come through water and blood — Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

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

⁷because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these — the three — are one;

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

⁸and three are who are testifying in the earth], the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.

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

⁹If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified 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.

¹⁰He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

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

¹¹and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this — the life — is in His Son;

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

¹²he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God — the life he hath not.

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.

¹³These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

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

¹⁴And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

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

¹⁵and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

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.

¹⁶If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

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

¹⁷all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

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

¹⁸We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

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

¹⁹we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;

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.

²⁰and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

²¹Dieťatká, chráňte sa modiel! Ameň.

²¹Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
