1 John 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
hē priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ sarvvēṣvātmasu na viśvasita kintu tē īśvarāt jātā na vētyātmanaḥ parīkṣadhvaṁ yatō bahavō mr̥ṣābhaviṣyadvādinō jaganmadhyam āgatavantaḥ|
2 By this ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh is from God:
īśvarīyō ya ātmā sa yuṣmābhiranēna paricīyatāṁ, yīśuḥ khrīṣṭō narāvatārō bhūtvāgata ētad yēna kēnacid ātmanā svīkriyatē sa īśvarīyaḥ|
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not from God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come; and even now already it is in the world.
kintu yīśuḥ khrīṣṭō narāvatārō bhūtvāgata ētad yēna kēnacid ātmanā nāṅgīkriyatē sa īśvarīyō nahi kintu khrīṣṭārērātmā, tēna cāgantavyamiti yuṣmābhiḥ śrutaṁ, sa cēdānīmapi jagati varttatē|
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
hē bālakāḥ, yūyam īśvarāt jātāstān jitavantaśca yataḥ saṁsārādhiṣṭhānakāriṇō 'pi yuṣmadadhiṣṭhānakārī mahān|
5 They are of the world: therefore they speak from the world, and the world heareth them.
tē saṁsārāt jātāstatō hētōḥ saṁsārād bhāṣantē saṁsāraśca tēṣāṁ vākyāni gr̥hlāti|
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
vayam īśvarāt jātāḥ, īśvaraṁ yō jānāti sō'smadvākyāni gr̥hlāti yaścēśvarāt jātō nahi sō'smadvākyāni na gr̥hlāti; anēna vayaṁ satyātmānaṁ bhrāmakātmānañca paricinumaḥ|
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
hē priyatamāḥ, vayaṁ parasparaṁ prēma karavāma, yataḥ prēma īśvarāt jāyatē, aparaṁ yaḥ kaścit prēma karōti sa īśvarāt jāta īśvaraṁ vētti ca|
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
yaḥ prēma na karōti sa īśvaraṁ na jānāti yata īśvaraḥ prēmasvarūpaḥ|
9 In this was revealed the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
asmāsvīśvarasya prēmaitēna prākāśata yat svaputrēṇāsmabhyaṁ jīvanadānārtham īśvaraḥ svīyam advitīyaṁ putraṁ jaganmadhyaṁ prēṣitavān|
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
vayaṁ yad īśvarē prītavanta ityatra nahi kintu sa yadasmāsu prītavān asmatpāpānāṁ prāyaścirttārthaṁ svaputraṁ prēṣitavāṁścētyatra prēma santiṣṭhatē|
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
hē priyatamāḥ, asmāsu yadīśvarēṇaitādr̥śaṁ prēma kr̥taṁ tarhi parasparaṁ prēma karttum asmākamapyucitaṁ|
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
īśvaraḥ kadāca kēnāpi na dr̥ṣṭaḥ yadyasmābhiḥ parasparaṁ prēma kriyatē tarhīśvarō 'smanmadhyē tiṣṭhati tasya prēma cāsmāsu sētsyatē|
13 By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
asmabhyaṁ tēna svakīyātmanōṁ'śō datta ityanēna vayaṁ yat tasmin tiṣṭhāmaḥ sa ca yad asmāsu tiṣṭhatīti jānīmaḥ|
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
pitā jagatrātāraṁ putraṁ prēṣitavān ētad vayaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā pramāṇayāmaḥ|
15 Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
yīśurīśvarasya putra ētad yēnāṅgīkriyatē tasmin īśvarastiṣṭhati sa cēśvarē tiṣṭhati|
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
asmāsvīśvarasya yat prēma varttatē tad vayaṁ jñātavantastasmin viśvāsitavantaśca| īśvaraḥ prēmasvarūpaḥ prēmnī yastiṣṭhati sa īśvarē tiṣṭhati tasmiṁścēśvarastiṣṭhati|
17 In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
sa yādr̥śō 'sti vayamapyētasmin jagati tādr̥śā bhavāma ētasmād vicāradinē 'smābhi ryā pratibhā labhyatē sāsmatsambandhīyasya prēmnaḥ siddhiḥ|
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
prēmni bhīti rna varttatē kintu siddhaṁ prēma bhītiṁ nirākarōti yatō bhītiḥ sayātanāsti bhītō mānavaḥ prēmni siddhō na jātaḥ|
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
asmāsu sa prathamaṁ prītavān iti kāraṇād vayaṁ tasmin prīyāmahē|
20 If a man saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
īśvarē 'haṁ prīya ityuktvā yaḥ kaścit svabhrātaraṁ dvēṣṭi sō 'nr̥tavādī| sa yaṁ dr̥ṣṭavān tasmin svabhrātari yadi na prīyatē tarhi yam īśvaraṁ na dr̥ṣṭavān kathaṁ tasmin prēma karttuṁ śaknuyāt?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
ata īśvarē yaḥ prīyatē sa svīyabhrātaryyapi prīyatām iyam ājñā tasmād asmābhi rlabdhā|
