¹ܚܒܝܒܝ ܠܐ ܠܟܠ ܪܘܚܝܢ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܒܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܀

¹Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

²ܒܗܕܐ ܡܬܝܕܥܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܡܘܕܝܢ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܝ ܀

²By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

³ܘܟܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܠܝܬܝܗ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܝ ܕܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܀

³and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

⁴ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܙܟܝܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܒ ܗܘ ܕܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ ܀

⁴You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

⁵ܘܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܥܠܡܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܥ ܀

⁵They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

⁶ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܘܗܘ ܕܝܕܥ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܫܡܥ ܠܢ ܘܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܠܢ ܒܗ ܒܗܕܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢܢ ܠܪܘܚܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܠܪܘܚܐ ܕܡܛܥܝܢܘܬܐ ܀

⁶We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

⁷ܚܒܝܒܝ ܢܚܒ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܘܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܚܒ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܠܝܕ ܘܝܕܥ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁷Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

⁸ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܚܒ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁸He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

⁹ܒܗܕܐ ܐܬܝܕܥ ܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܘܬܢ ܕܠܒܪܗ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܫܕܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܚܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܀

⁹By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

¹⁰ܒܗܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܒܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܐܚܒܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܐܚܒܢ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܒܪܗ ܚܘܤܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܀

¹⁰In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice “atoning sacrifice” is from the Greek “hilasmos,” an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation—the sacrifice that turns away God’s wrath because of our sin. for our sins.

¹¹ܚܒܝܒܝ ܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܚܒܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܠܡܚܒܘ ܀

¹¹Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

¹²ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܚܒ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܢ ܡܩܘܐ ܘܚܘܒܗ ܡܫܬܡܠܐ ܒܢ ܀

¹²No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

¹³ܘܒܗܕܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܒܗ ܡܩܘܝܢܢ ܘܗܘ ܡܩܘܐ ܒܢ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܗ ܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܀

¹³By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

¹⁴ܘܚܢܢ ܚܙܝܢ ܘܡܤܗܕܝܢܢ ܕܐܒܐ ܫܕܪ ܠܒܪܗ ܦܪܘܩܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܀

¹⁴We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

¹⁵ܟܠ ܕܡܘܕܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܗ ܡܩܘܐ ܘܗܘ ܡܩܘܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁵Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

¹⁶ܘܚܢܢ ܗܝܡܢܢ ܘܝܕܥܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܨܐܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܠ ܕܡܩܘܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܡܩܘܐ ܀

¹⁶We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

¹⁷ܘܒܗܕܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܚܘܒܗ ܥܡܢ ܕܓܠܝܘܬ ܐܦܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܒܗܢܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܀

¹⁷In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

¹⁸ܕܚܠܬܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܠܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܡܫܡܠܝܐ ܠܒܪ ܫܕܐ ܠܗ ܠܕܚܠܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܬܐ ܒܩܢܛܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܕܚܠ ܠܐ ܡܫܡܠܝ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܀

¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

¹⁹ܚܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܚܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܩܕܡܝܬ ܐܚܒܢ ܀

¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

²⁰ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܤܢܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܡܬܚܙܐ ܠܐ ܡܚܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܚܒ ܀

²⁰If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

²¹ܘܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܒܠܢ ܡܢܗ ܕܟܠ ܕܡܚܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܒ ܐܦ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܀

²¹This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
