< Ιωαννου Α΄ 2 >
1 τεκνια μου ταυτα γραφω υμιν ινα μη αμαρτητε και εαν τισ αμαρτη παρακλητον εχομεν προσ τον πατερα ιησουν χριστον δικαιον
My dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous;
2 και αυτοσ ιλασμοσ εστιν περι των αμαρτιων ημων ου περι των ημετερων δε μονον αλλα και περι ολου του κοσμου
And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins, —and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.
3 και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εγνωκαμεν αυτον εαν τασ εντολασ αυτου τηρωμεν
And, hereby, perceive we, that we understand him, —if, his commandments, we are keeping.
4 ο λεγων εγνωκα αυτον και τασ εντολασ αυτου μη τηρων ψευστησ εστιν και εν τουτω η αληθεια ουκ εστιν
He that saith—I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!
5 οσ δ αν τηρη αυτου τον λογον αληθωσ εν τουτω η αγαπη του θεου τετελειωται εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω εσμεν
But whosoever may be keeping his word, of a truth, in this man, the love of God hath been made perfect. Hereby, perceive we, that, in him, we are.
6 ο λεγων εν αυτω μενειν οφειλει καθωσ εκεινοσ περιεπατησεν και αυτοσ ουτωσ περιπατειν
He that saith, that, in him, he abideth, ought, just as He walked, himself also, to be walking.
7 αδελφοι ουκ εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν αλλ εντολην παλαιαν ην ειχετε απ αρχησ η εντολη η παλαια εστιν ο λογοσ ον ηκουσατε απ αρχησ
Beloved! no new commandment, am I writing unto you; but an old commandment, which ye have been holding from the beginning: The old commandment is the word which ye have heard.
8 παλιν εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν ο εστιν αληθεσ εν αυτω και εν υμιν οτι η σκοτια παραγεται και το φωσ το αληθινον ηδη φαινει
Again, a new commandment, am I writing unto you, —which thing is true, in him and in you, because, the darkness, is passing away, and, the real light, already is shining.
9 ο λεγων εν τω φωτι ειναι και τον αδελφον αυτου μισων εν τη σκοτια εστιν εωσ αρτι
He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now!
10 ο αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει και σκανδαλον εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.
11 ο δε μισων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τη σκοτια εστιν και εν τη σκοτια περιπατει και ουκ οιδεν που υπαγει οτι η σκοτια ετυφλωσεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου
Whereas, he that hateth his brother, in the darkness, dwelleth, and in the darkness, walketh; and knoweth not whither he is drifting, because the, darkness, hath blinded his eyes.
12 γραφω υμιν τεκνια οτι αφεωνται υμιν αι αμαρτιαι δια το ονομα αυτου
I write unto you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven you, for the sake of his name:
13 γραφω υμιν πατερεσ οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχησ γραφω υμιν νεανισκοι οτι νενικηκατε τον πονηρον γραφω υμιν παιδια οτι εγνωκατε τον πατερα
I write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand the Father:
14 εγραψα υμιν πατερεσ οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχησ εγραψα υμιν νεανισκοι οτι ισχυροι εστε και ο λογοσ του θεου εν υμιν μενει και νενικηκατε τον πονηρον
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 μη αγαπατε τον κοσμον μηδε τα εν τω κοσμω εαν τισ αγαπα τον κοσμον ουκ εστιν η αγαπη του πατροσ εν αυτω
Be not loving the world, nor yet the things that are in the world: if anyone be loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 οτι παν το εν τω κοσμω η επιθυμια τησ σαρκοσ και η επιθυμια των οφθαλμων και η αλαζονεια του βιου ουκ εστιν εκ του πατροσ αλλ εκ του κοσμου εστιν
Because, all that is in the world—the coveting of the flesh, the coveting of the eyes, and the vain grandeur of life—is not of the Father, but is, of the world;
17 και ο κοσμοσ παραγεται και η επιθυμια αυτου ο δε ποιων το θελημα του θεου μενει εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn )
And, the world, passeth away, and the coveting [thereof], but, he that doeth the will of God, endureth unto times age-abiding. (aiōn )
18 παιδια εσχατη ωρα εστιν και καθωσ ηκουσατε οτι ο αντιχριστοσ ερχεται και νυν αντιχριστοι πολλοι γεγονασιν οθεν γινωσκομεν οτι εσχατη ωρα εστιν
Little children! it is, the last hour; and, just as ye have heard that, an antichrist, is coming, even now, antichrists have become, many, whence we perceive that it is, the last hour:
19 εξ ημων εξηλθον αλλ ουκ ησαν εξ ημων ει γαρ ησαν εξ ημων μεμενηκεισαν αν μεθ ημων αλλ ινα φανερωθωσιν οτι ουκ εισιν παντεσ εξ ημων
From among us, they went out, but they were not of us; for, if, of us, they had been, they would in that case have abode with us; but [it came to pass] in order that they might be made manifest, because, all, are not of us.
20 και υμεισ χρισμα εχετε απο του αγιου και οιδατε παντα
And, ye, have, an anointing, from the Holy One, —Ye all, know:
21 ουκ εγραψα υμιν οτι ουκ οιδατε την αληθειαν αλλ οτι οιδατε αυτην και οτι παν ψευδοσ εκ τησ αληθειασ ουκ εστιν
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because, no falsehood, is, of the truth.
22 τισ εστιν ο ψευστησ ει μη ο αρνουμενοσ οτι ιησουσ ουκ εστιν ο χριστοσ ουτοσ εστιν ο αντιχριστοσ ο αρνουμενοσ τον πατερα και τον υιον
Who, is the False One; —save he that denieth that, Jesus, is the Christ? The same, is the Antichrist, —he that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 πασ ο αρνουμενοσ τον υιον ουδε τον πατερα εχει
Whosoever denieth the Son, neither hath he, the Father: He that confesseth the Son, hath, the Father also.
24 υμεισ ουν ο ηκουσατε απ αρχησ εν υμιν μενετω εαν εν υμιν μεινη ο απ αρχησ ηκουσατε και υμεισ εν τω υιω και εν τω πατρι μενειτε
As for you, what ye have heard from the beginning, in you, let it abide. If, in you, shall abide, that which, from the beginning, ye have heard, ye also, in the Son, and [in] the Father, shall abide.
25 και αυτη εστιν η επαγγελια ην αυτοσ επηγγειλατο ημιν την ζωην την αιωνιον (aiōnios )
And, this, is the promise, which he hath promised unto us, —The age-abiding life. (aiōnios )
26 ταυτα εγραψα υμιν περι των πλανωντων υμασ
These things, have I written unto you, concerning them who would lead you astray.
27 και υμεισ το χρισμα ο ελαβετε απ αυτου εν υμιν μενει και ου χρειαν εχετε ινα τισ διδασκη υμασ αλλ ωσ το αυτο χρισμα διδασκει υμασ περι παντων και αληθεσ εστιν και ουκ εστιν ψευδοσ και καθωσ εδιδαξεν υμασ μενειτε εν αυτω
And, as for you, the anointing which ye have received from him, abideth in you, and ye have, no need, that anyone be teaching you; but, as, his anointing, is teaching you, and is, true, and is no falsehood, even just as it hath taught you, abide ye in him.
28 και νυν τεκνια μενετε εν αυτω ινα οταν φανερωθη εχωμεν παρρησιαν και μη αισχυνθωμεν απ αυτου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
And, now, dear children, abide ye in him, in order that, if he be made manifest, we may have boldness, and not be shamed away from him by his presence.
29 εαν ειδητε οτι δικαιοσ εστιν γινωσκετε οτι πασ ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην εξ αυτου γεγεννηται
If ye know that he is, righteous, ye perceive that—whosoever doeth righteousness, of him, hath been born.
