1 John 5
1 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.
yīśurabhiṣiktastrāteti yaḥ kaścid viśvāsiti sa īśvarāt jātaḥ; aparaṁ yaḥ kaścit janayitari prīyate sa tasmāt jāte jane 'pi prīyate|
2 The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.
vayam īśvarasya santāneṣu prīyāmahe tad anena jānīmo yad īśvare prīyāmahe tasyājñāḥ pālayāmaśca|
3 Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands are not irksome.
yata īśvare yat prema tat tadīyājñāpālanenāsmābhiḥ prakāśayitavyaṁ, tasyājñāśca kaṭhorā na bhavanti|
4 For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.
yato yaḥ kaścid īśvarāt jātaḥ sa saṁsāraṁ jayati kiñcāsmākaṁ yo viśvāsaḥ sa evāsmākaṁ saṁsārajayijayaḥ|
5 Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?
yīśurīśvarasya putra iti yo viśvasiti taṁ vinā ko'paraḥ saṁsāraṁ jayati?
6 Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who gives testimony-- because the Spirit is the Truth.
so'bhiṣiktastrātā yīśustoyarudhirābhyām āgataḥ kevalaṁ toyena nahi kintu toyarudhirābhyām, ātmā ca sākṣī bhavati yata ātmā satyatāsvarūpaḥ|
7 For there are three that give testimony-- the Spirit, the water, and the blood;
yato hetoḥ svarge pitā vādaḥ pavitra ātmā ca traya ime sākṣiṇaḥ santi, traya ime caiko bhavanti|
8 and there is complete agreement between these three.
tathā pṛthivyām ātmā toyaṁ rudhirañca trīṇyetāni sākṣyaṁ dadāti teṣāṁ trayāṇām ekatvaṁ bhavati ca|
9 If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.
mānavānāṁ sākṣyaṁ yadyasmābhi rgṛhyate tarhīśvarasya sākṣyaṁ tasmādapi śreṣṭhaṁ yataḥ svaputramadhīśvareṇa dattaṁ sākṣyamidaṁ|
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.
īśvarasya putre yo viśvāsiti sa nijāntare tat sākṣyaṁ dhārayati; īśvare yo na viśvasiti sa tam anṛtavādinaṁ karoti yata īśvaraḥ svaputramadhi yat sākṣyaṁ dattavān tasmin sa na viśvasiti|
11 And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son. (aiōnios g166)
tacca sākṣyamidaṁ yad īśvaro 'smabhyam anantajīvanaṁ dattavān tacca jīvanaṁ tasya putre vidyate| (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life.
yaḥ putraṁ dhārayati sa jīvanaṁ dhāriyati, īśvarasya putraṁ yo na dhārayati sa jīvanaṁ na dhārayati|
13 I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
īśvaraputrasya nāmni yuṣmān pratyetāni mayā likhitāni tasyābhiprāyo 'yaṁ yad yūyam anantajīvanaprāptā iti jānīyāta tasyeśvaraputrasya nāmni viśvaseta ca| (aiōnios g166)
14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.
tasyāntike 'smākaṁ yā pratibhā bhavati tasyāḥ kāraṇamidaṁ yad vayaṁ yadi tasyābhimataṁ kimapi taṁ yācāmahe tarhi so 'smākaṁ vākyaṁ śṛṇoti|
15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
sa cāsmākaṁ yat kiñcana yācanaṁ śṛṇotīti yadi jānīmastarhi tasmād yācitā varā asmābhiḥ prāpyante tadapi jānīmaḥ|
16 If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life--for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.
kaścid yadi svabhrātaram amṛtyujanakaṁ pāpaṁ kurvvantaṁ paśyati tarhi sa prārthanāṁ karotu teneśvarastasmai jīvanaṁ dāsyati, arthato mṛtyujanakaṁ pāpaṁ yena nākāritasmai| kintu mṛtyujanakam ekaṁ pāpam āste tadadhi tena prārthanā kriyatāmityahaṁ na vadāmi|
17 Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is not unto death.
sarvva evādharmmaḥ pāpaṁ kintu sarvvapāṁpa mṛtyujanakaṁ nahi|
18 We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.
ya īśvarāt jātaḥ sa pāpācāraṁ na karoti kintvīśvarāt jāto janaḥ svaṁ rakṣati tasmāt sa pāpātmā taṁ na spṛśatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one.
vayam īśvarāt jātāḥ kintu kṛtsnaḥ saṁsāraḥ pāpātmano vaśaṁ gato 'stīti jānīmaḥ|
20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One--that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
aparam īśvarasya putra āgatavān vayañca yayā tasya satyamayasya jñānaṁ prāpnuyāmastādṛśīṁ dhiyam asmabhyaṁ dattavān iti jānīmastasmin satyamaye 'rthatastasya putre yīśukhrīṣṭe tiṣṭhāmaśca; sa eva satyamaya īśvaro 'nantajīvanasvarūpaścāsti| (aiōnios g166)
21 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols.
he priyabālakāḥ, yūyaṁ devamūrttibhyaḥ svān rakṣata| āmen|
