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.

¹Otročiči moji, to vam pišem, da ne grešite. Ako se pa kdo pregreši, imamo Odvetnika pri Očetu, Jezusa Kristusa pravičnega;

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.

²in on je sprava za grehe naše, ne pa samo za naše, ampak tudi za vsega sveta grehe.

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

³In po tem vemo, da smo ga spoznali, ako držimo zapovedi njegove.

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

⁴Kdor pravi: Spoznal sem ga, a ne drži zapovedi njegovih, je lažnik in v njem ni resnice;

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:

⁵kdor pa izpolnjuje besedo njegovo, v njem je resnično ljubezen Božja dopolnjena. Po tem vemo, da smo v njem.

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

⁶Kdor pravi, da v njem ostaja, mora tudi tako živeti, kakor je on živel.

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, ne pišem vam nove zapovedi, ampak zapoved staro, ki ste jo imeli od začetka. Stara zapoved je beseda, ki ste jo slišali.

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.

⁸Zopet vam pišemo novo zapoved, kar je resnično v njem in v vas; ker tema gine in prava luč že sveti.

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

⁹Kdor pravi, da je v luči, pa sovraži brata svojega, je v temi še do sedaj.

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

¹⁰Kdor ljubi brata svojega, ostaja v luči in pohujšanja ni v njem.

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.

¹¹Kdor pa sovraži brata svojega, je v temi in hodi po temi in ne ve, kam gre, ker tema je oslepila oči njegove.

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

¹²Pišem vam, otročiči, ker so vam grehi odpuščeni zaradi imena njegovega.

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 vam, očetje, ker ste spoznali njega, ki je od začetka. Pišem vam, mladeniči, ker ste premagali Hudobnega. Pisal sem vam, otročiči, ker ste spoznali Očeta.

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.

¹⁴Pisal sem vam, očetje, ker ste spoznali njega, ki je od začetka. Pisal sem vam, mladeniči, ker ste krepki, in beseda Božja ostaja v vas, in premagali ste Hudobnega.

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 sveta, ne tega, kar je na svetu. Če kdo ljubi svet, ni ljubezni Očetove v njem.

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.

¹⁶Zakaj vse, kar je na svetu: poželenje mesa in poželenje oči in življenja napuh, ni iz Očeta, temuč je iz sveta.

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

¹⁷In svet gine in poželenje njegovo; kdor pa dela voljo Božjo, ostane vekomaj.

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.

¹⁸Otročiči, poslednja ura je, in kakor ste slišali, da se antikrist bliža, so že sedaj vstali mnogi antikristi: odtod spoznavamo, da je poslednja ura.

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.

¹⁹Izmed nas so izšli, ali niso bili iz nas; kajti ko bi bili iz nas, bi bili ostali z nami: toda odšli so, da se pokažejo, da niso vsi iz nas.

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

²⁰In vi imate maziljenje od Svetega in veste vse.

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.

²¹Nisem vam pisal, ker ne znate resnice, ampak ker jo znate in ker ni nobene laži iz resnice.

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.

²²Kdo je lažnik, če ne tisti, kdor taji, da Jezus je Kristus? Ta je antikrist, ki taji Očeta in Sina.

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

²³Vsak, ki taji Sina, tudi Očeta nima; kdor pripoznava Sina, ima tudi Očeta.

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.

²⁴Vi pa – kar ste slišali od začetka, to naj ostane v vas. Če ostane v vas, kar ste slišali od začetka, tudi vi ostanete v Sinu in v Očetu.

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

²⁵In ta je obljuba, ki nam jo je obljubil: večno življenje.

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

²⁶To sem vam pisal za tiste, ki vas slepe.

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.

²⁷In za vas: maziljenje, ki ste ga prejeli od njega, ostaja v vas, in treba ni, da bi vas kdo učil; temuč kakor vas maziljenje njegovo uči vsega in je resnično in ni laž, in kakor vas je poučilo, tako ostanite v njem.

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

²⁸In sedaj, otročiči, ostanite v njem, da imamo, če se on prikaže, trdno zaupanje in ne bomo osramočeni pred njim ob prihodu njegovem.Ako veste, da je pravičen, spoznajte, da je vsak, ki dela pravičnost, iz njega rojen.

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

²⁹Ako veste, da je pravičen, spoznajte, da je vsak, ki dela pravičnost, iz njega rojen.
