1 John 3
1 See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
paśyata vayam īśvarasya santānā iti nāmnākhyāmahē, ētēna pitāsmabhyaṁ kīdr̥k mahāprēma pradattavān, kintu saṁsārastaṁ nājānāt tatkāraṇādasmān api na jānāti|
2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
hē priyatamāḥ, idānīṁ vayam īśvarasya santānā āsmahē paścāt kiṁ bhaviṣyāmastad adyāpyaprakāśitaṁ kintu prakāśaṁ gatē vayaṁ tasya sadr̥śā bhaviṣyāmi iti jānīmaḥ, yataḥ sa yādr̥śō 'sti tādr̥śō 'smābhirdarśiṣyatē|
3 And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
tasmin ēṣā pratyāśā yasya kasyacid bhavati sa svaṁ tathā pavitraṁ karōti yathā sa pavitrō 'sti|
4 Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
yaḥ kaścit pāpam ācarati sa vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ karōti yataḥ pāpamēva vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ|
5 And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.
aparaṁ sō 'smākaṁ pāpānyapaharttuṁ prākāśataitad yūyaṁ jānītha, pāpañca tasmin na vidyatē|
6 Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.
yaḥ kaścit tasmin tiṣṭhati sa pāpācāraṁ na karōti yaḥ kaścit pāpācāraṁ karōti sa taṁ na dr̥ṣṭavān na vāvagatavān|
7 Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
hē priyabālakāḥ, kaścid yuṣmākaṁ bhramaṁ na janayēt, yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ karōti sa tādr̥g dhārmmikō bhavati yādr̥k sa dhāmmikō 'sti|
8 He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.
yaḥ pāpācāraṁ karōti sa śayatānāt jātō yataḥ śayatāna āditaḥ pāpācārī śayatānasya karmmaṇāṁ lōpārthamēvēśvarasya putraḥ prākāśata|
9 Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
yaḥ kaścid īśvarāt jātaḥ sa pāpācāraṁ na karōti yatastasya vīryyaṁ tasmin tiṣṭhati pāpācāraṁ karttuñca na śaknōti yataḥ sa īśvarāt jātaḥ|
10 In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, and he who does not love his brother.
ityanēnēśvarasya santānāḥ śayatānasya ca santānā vyaktā bhavanti| yaḥ kaścid dharmmācāraṁ na karōti sa īśvarāt jātō nahi yaśca svabhrātari na prīyatē sō 'pīśvarāt jātō nahi|
11 For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
yatastasya ya ādēśa āditō yuṣmābhiḥ śrutaḥ sa ēṣa ēva yad asmābhiḥ parasparaṁ prēma karttavyaṁ|
12 not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.
pāpātmatō jātō yaḥ kābil svabhrātaraṁ hatavān tatsadr̥śairasmābhi rna bhavitavyaṁ| sa kasmāt kāraṇāt taṁ hatavān? tasya karmmāṇi duṣṭāni tadbhrātuśca karmmāṇi dharmmāṇyāsan iti kāraṇāt|
13 Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you.
hē mama bhrātaraḥ, saṁsārō yadi yuṣmān dvēṣṭi tarhi tad āścaryyaṁ na manyadhvaṁ|
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death.
vayaṁ mr̥tyum uttīryya jīvanaṁ prāptavantastad bhrātr̥ṣu prēmakaraṇāt jānīmaḥ| bhrātari yō na prīyatē sa mr̥tyau tiṣṭhati|
15 Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
yaḥ kaścit svabhrātaraṁ dvēṣṭi saṁ naraghātī kiñcānantajīvanaṁ naraghātinaḥ kasyāpyantarē nāvatiṣṭhatē tad yūyaṁ jānītha| (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down [our] lives.
asmākaṁ kr̥tē sa svaprāṇāṁstyaktavān ityanēna vayaṁ prēmnastattvam avagatāḥ, aparaṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ kr̥tē 'smābhirapi prāṇāstyaktavyāḥ|
17 But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him?
sāṁsārikajīvikāprāptō yō janaḥ svabhrātaraṁ dīnaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasmāt svīyadayāṁ ruṇaddhi tasyāntara īśvarasya prēma kathaṁ tiṣṭhēt?
18 Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.
hē mama priyabālakāḥ, vākyēna jihvayā vāsmābhiḥ prēma na karttavyaṁ kintu kāryyēṇa satyatayā caiva|
19 And hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him —
ētēna vayaṁ yat satyamatasambandhīyāstat jānīmastasya sākṣāt svāntaḥkaraṇāni sāntvayituṁ śakṣyāmaśca|
20 that if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
yatō 'smadantaḥkaraṇaṁ yadyasmān dūṣayati tarhyasmadantaḥ karaṇād īśvarō mahān sarvvajñaśca|
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness towards God,
hē priyatamāḥ, asmadantaḥkaraṇaṁ yadyasmān na dūṣayati tarhi vayam īśvarasya sākṣāt pratibhānvitā bhavāmaḥ|
22 and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight.
yacca prārthayāmahē tat tasmāt prāpnumaḥ, yatō vayaṁ tasyājñāḥ pālayāmastasya sākṣāt tuṣṭijanakam ācāraṁ kurmmaśca|
23 And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment.
aparaṁ tasyēyamājñā yad vayaṁ putrasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmni viśvasimastasyājñānusārēṇa ca parasparaṁ prēma kurmmaḥ|
24 And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given to us.
yaśca tasyājñāḥ pālayati sa tasmin tiṣṭhati tasmin sō'pi tiṣṭhati; sa cāsmān yam ātmānaṁ dattavān tasmāt sō 'smāsu tiṣṭhatīti jānīmaḥ|
