¹My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor Greek Parakleton: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comforter. with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.

¹Dječice moja, ovo vam pišem da ne griješite. Ako tko i sagriješi, zagovornika imamo kod Oca - Isusa Krista, Pravednika.

²And he is 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, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

²On je pomirnica za grijeha naše, i ne samo naše, nego i svega svijeta.

³This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

³I po ovom znamo da ga poznajemo: ako zapovijedi njegove čuvamo.

⁴One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

⁴Tko veli: "Poznajem ga", a zapovijedi njegovih ne čuva, lažac je, u njemu nema istine.

⁵But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:

⁵A tko čuva riječ njegovu, u njemu je zaista savršena ljubav Božja. Po tom znamo da smo u njemu.

⁶he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

⁶Tko veli da u njemu ostaje, valja mu ići putom kojim je on hodio.

⁷Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

⁷Ljubljeni, pišem vam ne novu zapovijed, nego staru zapovijed, koju ste imali od početka. Ta stara zapovijed jest riječ koju ste čuli.

⁸Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

⁸A opet, novu vam zapovijed pišem - obistinjuje se u njemu i vama - jer tama prolazi, svjetlost istinita već svijetli.

⁹He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.

⁹Tko veli da je u svjetlosti, a mrzi brata svojega, u tami je sve do sada.

¹⁰He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

¹⁰Tko ljubi brata svojega, u svjetlosti ostaje i sablazni u njemu nema.

¹¹But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹¹A tko mrzi brata svojega, u tami je, u tami hodi i ne zna kamo ide jer mu tama zaslijepi oči.

¹²I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

¹²Pišem vama, dječice, jer su vam grijesi oprošteni po njegovu imenu.

¹³I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.

¹³Pišem vama, oci, jer upoznaste onoga koji je od početka. Pišem vama, mladići, jer ste pobijedili Zloga.

¹⁴I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

¹⁴Napisah vama, djeco, jer upoznaste Oca. Napisah vama, oci, jer upoznaste onoga koji je od početka. Napisah vama, mladići, jer ste jaki i riječ Božja u vama ostaje i pobijedili ste Zloga.

¹⁵Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

¹⁵Ne ljubite svijeta ni što je u svijetu. Ako tko ljubi svijet, nema u njemu ljubavi Očeve.

¹⁶For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

¹⁶Jer što je god svjetovno - požuda tijela, i požuda očiju, i oholost života - nije od Oca, nego od svijeta.

¹⁷The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

¹⁷Svijet prolazi i požuda njegova, a tko čini volju Božju, ostaje dovijeka.

¹⁸Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.

¹⁸Djeco, posljednji je čas! I, kako ste čuli, dolazi Antikrist. I sad su se već mnogi antikristi pojavili. Odatle znamo da je posljednji čas.

¹⁹They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

¹⁹Od nas iziđoše, ali ne bijahu od nas. Jer kad bi bili od nas, ostali bi s nama; ali neka se očituje da nisu od nas.

²⁰You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. Or, “know what is true.” Or, “know all things.”

²⁰A vi imate Pomazanje od Svetoga, i znanje svi imate.

²¹I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

²¹Ne pisah vam zato što ne biste znali istine, nego jer je znate i jer znate da nikakva laž nije od istine.

²²Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

²²Tko je lažac, ako ne onaj koji tvrdi da Isus nije Krist? Antikrist je onaj

²³Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

²³tko niječe Oca i Sina. Svaki koji niječe Sina, nema ni Oca, a tko priznaje Sina, ima i Oca.

²⁴Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

²⁴A vi - što čuste od početka, u vama nek ostane. Ako u vama ostane što čuste od početka, i vi ćete ostati u Sinu i Ocu.

²⁵This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

²⁵A ovo je obećanje koje nam on obeća: život vječni.

²⁶These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.

²⁶Ovo vam napisah o onima koji vas zavode.

²⁷As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

²⁷A vi - Pomazanje koje primiste od njega u vama ostaje i ne treba da vas itko poučava. Nego njegovo vas Pomazanje uči o svemu, a istinito je i nije laž, pa kao što vas je ono naučilo, ostanite u Njemu.

²⁸Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

²⁸I sada, dječice, ostanite u njemu da budemo puni pouzdanja kad se pojavi te se ne postidimo pred njim o njegovu dolasku.

²⁹If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.

²⁹Ako znate da je on Pravednik, znate i da je svaki koji čini pravdu od njega rođen.
