Ιωαννου Α΄ 5

1 πας ο πιστευων οτι ιησους εστιν ο χριστος εκ του θεου γεγεννηται και πας ο αγαπων τον γεννησαντα αγαπα και τον γεγεννημενον εξ αυτου

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born from God, and whoever loves a father also loves the child born from him.

2 εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι αγαπωμεν τα τεκνα του θεου οταν τον θεον αγαπωμεν και τας εντολας αυτου τηρωμεν

Because of this we know that we love God's children, when we love God and do his commandments.

3 αυτη γαρ εστιν η αγαπη του θεου ινα τας εντολας αυτου τηρωμεν και αι εντολαι αυτου βαρειαι ουκ εισιν

For this is love for God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

4 οτι παν το γεγεννημενον εκ του θεου νικα τον κοσμον και αυτη εστιν η νικη η νικησασα τον κοσμον η πιστις ημων

For everyone who is born from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

5 τις εστιν ο νικων τον κοσμον ει μη ο πιστευων οτι ιησους εστιν ο υιος του θεου

Who is the one who overcomes the world? The one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

6 ουτος εστιν ο ελθων δι υδατος και αιματος ιησους χριστος ουκ εν τω υδατι μονον αλλ εν τω υδατι και τω αιματι και το πνευμα εστιν το μαρτυρουν οτι το πνευμα εστιν η αληθεια

This is the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. He came not only by water, but also by water and blood.

7 οτι τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες [ [εν τω ουρανω ο πατηρ ο λογος και το αγιον πνευμα και ουτοι οι τρεις εν εισιν] ]

For there are three who bear witness:

8 [ [και τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες εν τη γη] ] το πνευμα και το υδωρ και το αιμα και οι τρεις εις το εν εισιν

the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three are in agreement.

9 ει την μαρτυριαν των ανθρωπων λαμβανομεν η μαρτυρια του θεου μειζων εστιν οτι αυτη εστιν η μαρτυρια του θεου ην μεμαρτυρηκεν περι του υιου αυτου

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For the testimony of God is this, that he has borne witness concerning his Son.

10 ο πιστευων εις τον υιον του θεου εχει την μαρτυριαν εν αυτω ο μη πιστευων τω θεω ψευστην πεποιηκεν αυτον οτι ου πεπιστευκεν εις την μαρτυριαν ην μεμαρτυρηκεν ο θεος περι του υιου αυτου

Anyone who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the witness that God has given concerning his Son.

11 και αυτη εστιν η μαρτυρια οτι ζωην αιωνιον εδωκεν ημιν ο θεος και αυτη η ζωη εν τω υιω αυτου εστιν (aiōnios g166)

And the witness is this: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

12 ο εχων τον υιον εχει την ζωην ο μη εχων τον υιον του θεου την ζωην ουκ εχει

The one who has the Son has life. The one who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 ταυτα εγραψα υμιν τοις πιστευουσιν εις το ονομα του υιου του θεου ινα ειδητε οτι ζωην αιωνιον εχετε και ινα πιστευητε εις το ονομα του υιου του θεου (aiōnios g166)

I have written to you these things so that you will know that you have eternal life—to you who believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

14 και αυτη εστιν η παρρησια ην εχομεν προς αυτον οτι εαν τι αιτωμεθα κατα το θελημα αυτου ακουει ημων

Also, this is the confidence we have before him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

15 και εαν οιδαμεν οτι ακουει ημων ο αν αιτωμεθα οιδαμεν οτι εχομεν τα αιτηματα α ητηκαμεν παρ αυτου

Also, if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask of him—we know that we have whatever we have asked of him.

16 εαν τις ιδη τον αδελφον αυτου αμαρτανοντα αμαρτιαν μη προς θανατον αιτησει και δωσει αυτω ζωην τοις αμαρτανουσιν μη προς θανατον εστιν αμαρτια προς θανατον ου περι εκεινης λεγω ινα ερωτηση

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not result in death, he must pray, and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not result in death. There is a sin that results in death; I am not saying that he should pray about that.

17 πασα αδικια αμαρτια εστιν και εστιν αμαρτια ου προς θανατον

All unrighteousness is sin, but there is sin that does not result in death.

18 οιδαμεν οτι πας ο γεγεννημενος εκ του θεου ουχ αμαρτανει αλλ ο γεννηθεις εκ του θεου τηρει εαυτον και ο πονηρος ουχ απτεται αυτου

We know that whoever is born from God does not sin. But the one who was born from God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.

19 οιδαμεν οτι εκ του θεου εσμεν και ο κοσμος ολος εν τω πονηρω κειται

We know that we are from God, and we know that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 οιδαμεν δε οτι ο υιος του θεου ηκει και δεδωκεν ημιν διανοιαν ινα γινωσκωμεν τον αληθινον και εσμεν εν τω αληθινω εν τω υιω αυτου ιησου χριστω ουτος εστιν ο αληθινος θεος και ζωη αιωνιος (aiōnios g166)

But we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. Also, we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 τεκνια φυλαξατε εαυτους απο των ειδωλων αμην

Children, keep yourselves from idols.
