1 John 3

1Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

ιδετε ποταπην αγαπην δεδωκεν ημιν ο πατηρ ινα τεκνα θεου κληθωμεν. δια τουτο ο κοσμος ου γινωσκει υμας, οτι ουκ εγνω αυτον.

2Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

αγαπητοι, νυν τεκνα θεου εσμεν, και ουπω εφανερωθη τι εσομεθα· οιδαμεν δε οτι εαν φανερωθη, ομοιοι αυτω εσομεθα, οτι οψομεθα αυτον καθως εστιν.

3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

και πας ο εχων την ελπιδα ταυτην επ αυτω αγνιζει εαυτον, καθως εκεινος αγνος εστιν.

4Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

πας ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν και την ανομιαν ποιει, και η αμαρτια εστιν η ανομια.

5And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

και οιδατε οτι εκεινος εφανερωθη ινα τας αμαρτιας ημων αρη, και αμαρτια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν.

6Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

πας ο εν αυτω μενων ουχ αμαρτανει· πας ο αμαρτανων ουχ εωρακεν αυτον ουδε εγνωκεν αυτον.

7Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

τεκνια, μηδεις πλανατω υμας· ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην δικαιος εστιν, καθως εκεινος δικαιος εστιν·

8He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν εκ του διαβολου εστιν, οτι απ αρχης ο διαβολος αμαρτανει. εις τουτο εφανερωθη ο υιος του θεου, ινα λυση τα εργα του διαβολου.

9Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

πας ο γεγεννημενος εκ του θεου αμαρτιαν ου ποιει, οτι σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω μενει· και ου δυναται αμαρτανειν, οτι εκ του θεου γεγεννηται.

10In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

εν τουτω φανερα εστιν τα τεκνα του θεου και τα τεκνα του διαβολου. πας ο μη ποιων δικαιοσυνην ουκ εστιν εκ του θεου, και ο μη αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου.

11For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

οτι αυτη εστιν η αγγελια ην ηκουσατε απ αρχης, ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλους,

12not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.

ου καθως καιν εκ του πονηρου ην και εσφαξεν τον αδελφον αυτου· και χαριν τινος εσφαξεν αυτον; οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα ην, τα δε του αδελφου αυτου δικαια.

13Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.

μη θαυμαζετε, αδελφοι μου, ει μισει υμας ο κοσμος.

14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μεταβεβηκαμεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην, οτι αγαπωμεν τους αδελφους· ο μη αγαπων τον αδελφον μενει εν τω θανατω.

15Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

πας ο μισων τον αδελφον αυτου ανθρωποκτονος εστιν, και οιδατε οτι πας ανθρωποκτονος ουκ εχει ζωην αιωνιον εν εαυτω μενουσαν.

16By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

εν τουτω εγνωκαμεν την αγαπην, οτι εκεινος υπερ ημων την ψυχην αυτου εθηκεν· και ημεις οφειλομεν υπερ των αδελφων τας ψυχας τιθεναι.

17But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

ος δ αν εχη τον βιον του κοσμου και θεωρη τον αδελφον αυτου χρειαν εχοντα και κλειση τα σπλαγχνα αυτου απ αυτου, πως η αγαπη του θεου μενει εν αυτω;

18My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

τεκνια μου, μη αγαπωμεν λογω μηδε τη γλωσση, αλλ εν εργω και αληθεια.

19And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εκ της αληθειας εσμεν, και εμπροσθεν αυτου πεισομεν τας καρδιας ημων,

20For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

οτι εαν καταγινωσκη ημων η καρδια, οτι μειζων εστιν ο θεος της καρδιας ημων και γινωσκει παντα.

21Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

αγαπητοι, εαν η καρδια ημων μη καταγινωσκη ημων, παρρησιαν εχομεν προς τον θεον,

22And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

και ο εαν αιτωμεν λαμβανομεν παρ αυτου, οτι τας εντολας αυτου τηρουμεν και τα αρεστα ενωπιον αυτου ποιουμεν.

23And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

και αυτη εστιν η εντολη αυτου, ινα πιστευσωμεν τω ονοματι του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου και αγαπωμεν αλληλους καθως εδωκεν εντολην.

24Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

και ο τηρων τας εντολας αυτου εν αυτω μενει και αυτος εν αυτω. και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι μενει εν ημιν, εκ του πνευματος ου ημιν εδωκεν.
