Ιωαννου Α΄ 3
1 ἴδετε ποταπὴν ἀγάπην δέδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ πατήρ, ἵνα τέκνα θεοῦ κληθῶμεν (καὶ ἐσμέν. *NO*) διὰ τοῦτο ὁ κόσμος οὐ γινώσκει (ἡμᾶς, *NK(O)*) ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτόν.

8 ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐκ τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστίν, ὅτι ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς ὁ διάβολος ἁμαρτάνει. εἰς τοῦτο ἐφανερώθη ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἵνα λύσῃ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ διαβόλου.
Ywapanga sambi ni ba ibilisi, kwa sababu ibilisi ni mpanga sambi tangu mwanzo. Kwa mana yee Mwana wa Nnongo atidhihirishwa ili aweze kuziharibu ili aweze kuziharibu kazi za ibilisi.
9 πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἁμαρτίαν οὐ ποιεῖ, ὅτι σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ μένει· καὶ οὐ δύναται ἁμαρτάνειν, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ γεγέννηται.

10 ἐν τούτῳ φανερά ἐστιν τὰ τέκνα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὰ τέκνα τοῦ διαβόλου. πᾶς ὁ μὴ ποιῶν δικαιοσύνην οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ·

14 ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι μεταβεβήκαμεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν, ὅτι ἀγαπῶμεν τοὺς ἀδελφούς· ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν (τὸν ἀδελφόν *K*) μένει ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ.

15 πᾶς ὁ μισῶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἐστίν· καὶ οἴδατε ὅτι πᾶς ἀνθρωποκτόνος οὐκ ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἐν (αὐτῷ *NK(o)*) μένουσαν. (aiōnios g166)
Mundu yeyote ywamchukia nongowe ni muuaji. Na mutangite kuwa ukoto wa milele utama kwaa nkati ya muuaji. (aiōnios g166)
