4:1

Αγαπητοι μη παντι πνευματι πιστευετε αλλα δοκιμαζετε τα πνευματα ει εκ του Θεου εστιν οτι πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εξεληλυθασιν εις τον κοσμον

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

4:2

Εν τουτω γινωσκετε το Πνευμα του Θεου παν πνευμα ο ομολογει Ιησουν Χριστον εν σαρκι εληλυθοτα εκ του Θεου εστιν

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

4:3

και παν πνευμα ο μη ομολογει τον Ιησουν εκ του Θεου ουκ εστιν και τουτο εστιν το του αντιχριστου ο ακηκοατε οτι ερχεται και νυν εν τω κοσμω εστιν ηδη

and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.

4:4

Υμεις εκ του Θεου εστε τεκνια και νενικηκατε αυτους οτι μειζων εστιν ο εν υμιν η ο εν τω κοσμω

Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

4:5

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

They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them.

4:6

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

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

4:7

Αγαπητοι αγαπωμεν αλληλους οτι η αγαπη εκ του Θεου εστιν και πας ο αγαπων εκ του Θεου γεγεννηται και γινωσκει τον Θεον

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

4:8

ο μη αγαπων ουκ εγνω τον Θεον οτι ο Θεος αγαπη εστιν

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

¹

4:9

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

Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

4:10

εν τουτω εστιν η αγαπη ουχ οτι ημεις ηγαπηκαμεν τον Θεον αλλ οτι αυτος ηγαπησεν ημας και απεστειλεν τον Υιον αυτου ιλασμον περι των αμαρτιων ημων

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

4:11

Αγαπητοι ει ουτως ο Θεος ηγαπησεν ημας και ημεις οφειλομεν αλληλους αγαπαν

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

4:12

Θεον ουδεις πωποτε τεθεαται εαν αγαπωμεν αλληλους ο Θεος εν ημιν μενει και η αγαπη αυτου εν ημιν τετελειωμενη εστιν

No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

4:13

εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω μενομεν και αυτος εν ημιν οτι εκ του Πνευματος αυτου δεδωκεν ημιν

hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

4:14

και ημεις τεθεαμεθα και μαρτυρουμεν οτι ο Πατηρ απεσταλκεν τον Υιον Σωτηρα του κοσμου

And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

4:15

Ος εαν ομολογηση οτι Ιησους εστιν ο Υιος του Θεου ο Θεος εν αυτω μενει και αυτος εν τω Θεω

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

4:16

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 μενει

And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

4:17

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

Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.

4:18

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

There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

4:19

Ημεις αγαπωμεν οτι αυτος πρωτος ηγαπησεν ημας

We love, because he first loved us.

4:20

Εαν τις ειπη οτι Αγαπω τον Θεον και τον αδελφον αυτου μιση ψευστης εστιν ο γαρ μη αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου ον εωρακεν τον Θεον ον ουχ εωρακεν ου δυναται αγαπαν

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.

4:21

και ταυτην την εντολην εχομεν απ αυτου ινα ο αγαπων τον Θεον αγαπα και τον αδελφον αυτου

And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.
