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.

¹ايها الاحباء لا تصدقوا كل روح بل امتحنوا الارواح هل هي من الله لان انبياء كذبة كثيرين قد خرجوا الى العالم.

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

²بهذا تعرفون روح الله. كل روح يعترف بيسوع المسيح انه قد جاء في الجسد فهو من الله.

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.

³وكل روح لا يعترف بيسوع المسيح انه قد جاء في الجسد فليس من الله. وهذا هو روح ضد المسيح الذي سمعتم انه يأتي والآن هو في العالم.

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.

⁴انتم من الله ايها الاولاد وقد غلبتموهم لان الذي فيكم اعظم من الذي في العالم.

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

⁵هم من العالم. من اجل ذلك يتكلمون من العالم والعالم يسمع لهم.

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.

⁶نحن من الله فمن يعرف الله يسمع لنا ومن ليس من الله لا يسمع لنا. من هذا نعرف روح الحق وروح الضلال.

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

⁷ايها الاحباء لنحب بعضنا بعضا لان المحبة هي من الله وكل من يحب فقد ولد من الله ويعرف الله.

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

⁸ومن لا يحب لم يعرف الله لان الله محبة.

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.

⁹بهذا أظهرت محبة الله فينا ان الله قد ارسل ابنه الوحيد الى العالم لكي نحيا به.

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.

¹⁰في هذه هي المحبة ليس اننا نحن احببنا الله بل انه هو احبنا وارسل ابنه كفارة لخطايانا

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

¹¹ايها الاحباء ان كان الله قد احبنا هكذا ينبغي لنا ايضا ان يحب بعضنا بعضا.

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.

¹²الله لم ينظره احد قط. ان احب بعضنا بعضا فالله يثبت فينا ومحبته قد تكملت فينا.

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

¹³بهذا نعرف اننا نثبت فيه وهو فينا انه قد اعطانا من روحه.

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

¹⁴ونحن قد نظرنا ونشهد ان الآب قد ارسل الابن مخلّصا للعالم.

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

¹⁵من اعترف ان يسوع هو ابن الله فالله يثبت فيه وهو في الله.

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.

¹⁶ونحن قد عرفنا وصدقنا المحبة التي للّه فينا. الله محبة ومن يثبت في المحبة يثبت في الله والله فيه.

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.

¹⁷بهذا تكملت المحبة فينا ان يكون لنا ثقة في يوم الدين لانه كما هو في هذا العالم هكذا نحن ايضا.

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.

¹⁸لا خوف في المحبة بل المحبة الكاملة تطرح الخوف الى خارج لان الخوف له عذاب واما من خاف فلم يتكمل في المحبة.

¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

¹⁹نحن نحبه لانه هو احبنا اولا.

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?

²⁰ان قال احد اني احب الله وابغض اخاه فهو كاذب. لان من لا يحب اخاه الذي ابصره كيف يقدر ان يحب الله الذي لم يبصره.

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

²¹ولنا هذه الوصية منه ان من يحب الله يحب اخاه ايضا
