3:1

Ιδετε ποταπην αγαπην δεδωκεν ημιν ο Πατηρ ινα τεκνα Θεου κληθωμεν και εσμεν δια τουτο ο κοσμος ου γινωσκει ημας οτι ουκ εγνω αυτον

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

3:2

Αγαπητοι νυν τεκνα Θεου εσμεν και ουπω εφανερωθη τι εσομεθα οιδαμεν οτι εαν φανερωθη ομοιοι αυτω εσομεθα οτι οψομεθα αυτον καθως εστιν

Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

¹

3:3

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

And every one that hath this hope set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

3:4

Πας ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν και την ανομιαν ποιει και η αμαρτια εστιν η ανομια

Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

3:5

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

And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.

3:6

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

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.

3:7

Τεκνια μηδεις πλανατω υμας ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην δικαιος εστιν καθως εκεινος δικαιος εστιν

My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:

3:8

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

he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

3:9

Πας ο γεγεννημενος εκ του Θεου αμαρτιαν ου ποιει οτι σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω μενει και ου δυναται αμαρτανειν οτι εκ του Θεου γεγεννηται

Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.

3:10

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

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

3:11

Οτι αυτη εστιν η αγγελια ην ηκουσατε απ αρχης ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλους

For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:

3:12

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

not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

3:13

και Μη θαυμαζετε αδελφοι ει μισει υμας ο κοσμος

Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you.

3:14

Ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μεταβεβηκαμεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην οτι αγαπωμεν τους αδελφους ο μη αγαπων μενει εν τω θανατω

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.

3:15

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

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

3:16

Εν τουτω εγνωκαμεν την αγαπην οτι εκεινος υπερ ημων την ψυχην αυτου εθηκεν και ημεις οφειλομεν υπερ των αδελφων τας ψυχας θειναι

Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

3:17

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

But whoso hath the world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?

3:18

Τεκνια μη αγαπωμεν λογω μηδε τη γλωσση αλλα εν εργω και αληθεια

My little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

3:19

και εν τουτω γνωσομεθα οτι εκ της αληθειας εσμεν και εμπροσθεν αυτου πεισομεν την καρδιαν ημων

Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:

3:20

οτι εαν καταγινωσκη ημων η καρδια οτι μειζων εστιν ο Θεος της καρδιας ημων και γινωσκει παντα

because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

3:21

Αγαπητοι εαν η καρδια ημων μη καταγινωσκη παρρησιαν εχομεν προς τον Θεον

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;

3:22

και ο εαν αιτωμεν λαμβανομεν απ αυτου οτι τας εντολας αυτου τηρουμεν και τα αρεστα ενωπιον αυτου ποιουμεν

and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

3:23

και αυτη εστιν η εντολη αυτου ινα πιστευσωμεν τω ονοματι του Υιου αυτου Ιησου Χριστου και αγαπωμεν αλληλους καθως εδωκεν εντολην ημιν

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.

3:24

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

And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
