1 John 4

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

αγαπητοι, μη παντι πνευματι πιστευετε, αλλα δοκιμαζετε τα πνευματα ει εκ του θεου εστιν, οτι πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εξεληλυθασιν εις τον κοσμον.

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

εν τουτω γινωσκετε το πνευμα του θεου· παν πνευμα ο ομολογει ιησουν χριστον εν σαρκι εληλυθοτα, εκ του θεου εστιν·

3and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

και παν πνευμα ο μη ομολογει τον ιησουν χριστον εν σαρκι εληλυθοτα, εκ του θεου ουκ εστιν· και τουτο εστιν το του αντιχριστου ο ακηκοατε οτι ερχεται, και νυν εν τω κοσμω εστιν ηδη.

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

υμεις εκ του θεου εστε, τεκνια, και νενικηκατε αυτους, οτι μειζων εστιν ο εν υμιν η ο εν τω κοσμω.

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

αυτοι εκ του κοσμου εισιν· δια τουτο εκ του κοσμου λαλουσιν και ο κοσμος αυτων ακουει.

6We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

ημεις εκ του θεου εσμεν· ο γινωσκων τον θεον ακουει ημων· ος ουκ εστιν εκ του θεου ουκ ακουει ημων. εκ τουτου γινωσκομεν το πνευμα της αληθειας και το πνευμα της πλανης.

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

αγαπητοι, αγαπωμεν αλληλους, οτι η αγαπη εκ του θεου εστιν, και πας ο αγαπων εκ του θεου γεγεννηται και γινωσκει τον θεον.

8He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

ο μη αγαπων ουκ εγνω τον θεον, οτι ο θεος αγαπη εστιν.

9In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

εν τουτω εφανερωθη η αγαπη του θεου εν ημιν, οτι τον υιον αυτου τον μονογενη απεσταλκεν ο θεος εις τον κοσμον ινα ζησωμεν δι αυτου.

10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

εν τουτω εστιν η αγαπη, ουχ οτι ημεις ηγαπησαμεν τον θεον, αλλ οτι αυτος ηγαπησεν ημας και απεστειλεν τον υιον αυτου ιλασμον περι των αμαρτιων ημων.

11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

αγαπητοι, ει ουτως ο θεος ηγαπησεν ημας, και ημεις οφειλομεν αλληλους αγαπαν.

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

θεον ουδεις πωποτε τεθεαται· εαν αγαπωμεν αλληλους, ο θεος εν ημιν μενει και η αγαπη αυτου τετελειωμενη εστιν εν ημιν.

13By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω μενομεν και αυτος εν ημιν, οτι εκ του πνευματος αυτου δεδωκεν ημιν.

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

και ημεις τεθεαμεθα και μαρτυρουμεν οτι ο πατηρ απεσταλκεν τον υιον σωτηρα του κοσμου.

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

ος αν ομολογηση οτι ιησους εστιν ο υιος του θεου, ο θεος εν αυτω μενει και αυτος εν τω θεω.

16And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

και ημεις εγνωκαμεν και πεπιστευκαμεν την αγαπην ην εχει ο θεος εν ημιν. ο θεος αγαπη εστιν, και ο μενων εν τη αγαπη εν τω θεω μενει και ο θεος εν αυτω.

17Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

εν τουτω τετελειωται η αγαπη μεθ ημων, ινα παρρησιαν εχωμεν εν τη ημερα της κρισεως, οτι καθως εκεινος εστιν, και ημεις εσμεν εν τω κοσμω τουτω.

18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

φοβος ουκ εστιν εν τη αγαπη, αλλ η τελεια αγαπη εξω βαλλει τον φοβον, οτι ο φοβος κολασιν εχει, ο δε φοβουμενος ου τετελειωται εν τη αγαπη.

19We love Him because He first loved us.

ημεις αγαπωμεν αυτον, οτι αυτος πρωτος ηγαπησεν ημας.

20If someone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

εαν τις ειπη οτι αγαπω τον θεον, και τον αδελφον αυτου μιση, ψευστης εστιν· ο γαρ μη αγαπων τον αδελφον ον εωρακεν, τον θεον ον ουχ εωρακεν πως δυναται αγαπαν;

21And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

και ταυτην την εντολην εχομεν απ αυτου, ινα ο αγαπων τον θεον αγαπα και τον αδελφον αυτου.
