1 John 4
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but examine the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
he priyatamAH, yUyaM sarvveShvAtmasu na vishvasita kintu te IshvarAt jAtA na vetyAtmanaH parIkShadhvaM yato bahavo mR^iShAbhaviShyadvAdino jaganmadhyam AgatavantaH|
2 By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in flesh is of God,
IshvarIyo ya AtmA sa yuShmAbhiranena parichIyatAM, yIshuH khrIShTo narAvatAro bhUtvAgata etad yena kenachid AtmanA svIkriyate sa IshvarIyaH|
3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in flesh is not of God. And this is that of the antichrist, which ye have heard that it comes, and is now in the world already.
kintu yIshuH khrIShTo narAvatAro bhUtvAgata etad yena kenachid AtmanA nA NgIkriyate sa IshvarIyo nahi kintu khrIShTArerAtmA, tena chAgantavyamiti yuShmAbhiH shrutaM, sa chedAnImapi jagati varttate|
4 Ye are of God, little children, and ye have overcome them, because greater is he in you than he in the world.
he bAlakAH, yUyam IshvarAt jAtAstAn jitavantashcha yataH saMsArAdhiShThAnakAriNo. api yuShmadadhiShThAnakArI mahAn|
5 They are of the world. Because of this they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
te saMsArAt jAtAstato hetoH saMsArAd bhAShante saMsArashcha teShAM vAkyAni gR^ihlAti|
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us. He who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
vayam IshvarAt jAtAH, IshvaraM yo jAnAti so. asmadvAkyAni gR^ihlAti yashcheshvarAt jAto nahi so. asmadvAkyAni na gR^ihlAti; anena vayaM satyAtmAnaM bhrAmakAtmAna ncha parichinumaH|
7 Beloved, we should love each other. Because love is of God, and every man who loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
he priyatamAH, vayaM parasparaM prema karavAma, yataH prema IshvarAt jAyate, aparaM yaH kashchit prema karoti sa IshvarAt jAta IshvaraM vetti cha|
8 He who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
yaH prema na karoti sa IshvaraM na jAnAti yata IshvaraH premasvarUpaH|
9 By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.
asmAsvIshvarasya premaitena prAkAshata yat svaputreNAsmabhyaM jIvanadAnArtham IshvaraH svIyam advitIyaM putraM jaganmadhyaM preShitavAn|
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.
vayaM yad Ishvare prItavanta ityatra nahi kintu sa yadasmAsu prItavAn asmatpApAnAM prAyashchirttArthaM svaputraM preShitavAMshchetyatra prema santiShThate|
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are obligated to love each other.
he priyatamAH, asmAsu yadIshvareNaitAdR^ishaM prema kR^itaM tarhi parasparaM prema karttum asmAkamapyuchitaM|
12 No man has ever seen God. If we love each other, God abides in us, and his love is in us, having been fully perfected.
IshvaraH kadAcha kenApi na dR^iShTaH yadyasmAbhiH parasparaM prema kriyate tarhIshvaro. asmanmadhye tiShThati tasya prema chAsmAsu setsyate|
13 In this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us from his Spirit.
asmabhyaM tena svakIyAtmanoM. asho datta ityanena vayaM yat tasmin tiShThAmaH sa cha yad asmAsu tiShThatIti jAnImaH|
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.
pitA jagatrAtAraM putraM preShitavAn etad vayaM dR^iShTvA pramANayAmaH|
15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
yIshurIshvarasya putra etad yenA NgIkriyate tasmin IshvarastiShThati sa cheshvare tiShThati|
16 And we know, and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
asmAsvIshvarasya yat prema varttate tad vayaM j nAtavantastasmin vishvAsitavantashcha| IshvaraH premasvarUpaH premnI yastiShThati sa Ishvare tiShThati tasmiMshcheshvarastiShThati|
17 By this love has been fully perfected with us, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because just as that man is, we also are in this world.
sa yAdR^isho. asti vayamapyetasmin jagati tAdR^ishA bhavAma etasmAd vichAradine. asmAbhi ryA pratibhA labhyate sAsmatsambandhIyasya premnaH siddhiH|
18 Fear is not in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear holds punishment, and he who is afraid has not been fully perfected in love.
premni bhIti rna varttate kintu siddhaM prema bhItiM nirAkaroti yato bhItiH sayAtanAsti bhIto mAnavaH premni siddho na jAtaH|
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
asmAsu sa prathamaM prItavAn iti kAraNAd vayaM tasmin prIyAmahe|
20 If any man 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?
Ishvare. ahaM prIya ityuktvA yaH kashchit svabhrAtaraM dveShTi so. anR^itavAdI| sa yaM dR^iShTavAn tasmin svabhrAtari yadi na prIyate tarhi yam IshvaraM na dR^iShTavAn kathaM tasmin prema karttuM shaknuyAt?
21 And we have this commandment from him, so that he who loves God will also love his brother.
ata Ishvare yaH prIyate sa svIyabhrAtaryyapi prIyatAm iyam Aj nA tasmAd asmAbhi rlabdhA|
