< 1 John 4 >

1 Beloved, 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
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who 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
3 and every spirit who does not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is that of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
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
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you 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
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
αυτοι εκ του κοσμου εισιν δια τουτο εκ του κοσμου λαλουσιν και ο κοσμος αυτων ακουει
6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God does not listen to 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
7 Beloved, 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
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
ο μη αγαπων ουκ εγνω τον θεον οτι ο θεος αγαπη εστιν
9 By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only 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
10 In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
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
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
αγαπητοι ει ουτως ο θεος ηγαπησεν ημας και ημεις οφειλομεν αλληλους αγαπαν
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains 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 {VAR1: τετελειωμενη εν ημιν } {VAR2: εν ημιν τετελειωμενη } εστιν
13 By this we know that we remain 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
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
και ημεις τεθεαμεθα και μαρτυρουμεν οτι ο πατηρ απεσταλκεν τον υιον σωτηρα του κοσμου
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
ος εαν ομολογηση οτι ιησους {VAR1: [χριστος] } εστιν ο υιος του θεου ο θεος εν αυτω μενει και αυτος εν τω θεω
16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains 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 {VAR1: [μενει] } {VAR2: μενει }
17 In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even 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
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not 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
19 We love, because he first loved us.
ημεις αγαπωμεν οτι αυτος πρωτος ηγαπησεν ημας
20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot 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 αυτου ον εωρακεν τον θεον ον ουχ εωρακεν ου δυναται αγαπαν
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
και ταυτην την εντολην εχομεν απ αυτου ινα ο αγαπων τον θεον αγαπα και τον αδελφον αυτου
