Ιωαννου Α΄ 5
1 Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ὅτι ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ ˚Χριστὸς, ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ γεγέννηται, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν γεννήσαντα, ἀγαπᾷ καὶ τὸν γεγεννημένον ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten by him.
2 Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἀγαπῶμεν τὰ τέκνα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ: ὅταν τὸν ˚Θεὸν ἀγαπῶμεν, καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ τηρῶμεν.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 Αὕτη γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἵνα τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ τηρῶμεν, καὶ αἱ ἐντολαὶ αὐτοῦ βαρεῖαι οὐκ εἰσίν,
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.
4 ὅτι πᾶν τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, νικᾷ τὸν κόσμον. Καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ νίκη ἡ νικήσασα τὸν κόσμον– ἡ πίστις ἡμῶν.
For whatever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.
5 Τίς ἐστιν δὲ ὁ νικῶν τὸν κόσμον, εἰ μὴ ὁ πιστεύων ὅτι ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ;
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἐλθὼν διʼ ὕδατος καὶ αἵματος, ˚Ἰησοῦς ˚Χριστός· οὐκ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι μόνον, ἀλλʼ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι καὶ ἐν τῷ αἵματι. Καὶ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμά ἐστιν τὸ μαρτυροῦν, ὅτι τὸ ˚Πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἡ ἀλήθεια.
This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth testimony, because the Spirit is truth.
7 Ὅτι τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες:
For there are three that bear testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.
8 τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα, καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ τὸ αἷμα, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς εἰς τὸ ἕν εἰσιν.
And there are three that bear testimony on earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9 Εἰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαμβάνομεν, ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ μείζων ἐστίν, ὅτι αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὅτι μεμαρτύρηκεν περὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 Ὁ πιστεύων εἰς τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἔχει τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἐν αὑτῷ· ὁ μὴ πιστεύων τῷ ˚Θεῷ, ψεύστην πεποίηκεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐ πεπίστευκεν εἰς τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἣν μεμαρτύρηκεν ὁ ˚Θεὸς περὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son.
11 Καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία: ὅτι ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ ˚Θεὸς, καὶ αὕτη ἡ ζωὴ ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life: and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ὁ ἔχων τὸν Υἱὸν, ἔχει τὴν ζωήν· ὁ μὴ ἔχων τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, τὴν ζωὴν οὐκ ἔχει.
He that hath the Son, hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.
13 Ταῦτα ἔγραψα ὑμῖν, ἵνα εἰδῆτε ὅτι ζωὴν ἔχετε αἰώνιον, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ. (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ παρρησία ἣν ἔχομεν πρὸς αὐτόν: ὅτι ἐάν τι αἰτώμεθα κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ, ἀκούει ἡμῶν.
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 Καὶ ἐὰν οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀκούει ἡμῶν, ὃ ἂν αἰτώμεθα, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἔχομεν τὰ αἰτήματα ἃ ᾐτήκαμεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him.
16 Ἐάν τις ἴδῃ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἁμαρτάνοντα ἁμαρτίαν μὴ πρὸς θάνατον, αἰτήσει καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ ζωήν, τοῖς ἁμαρτάνουσιν μὴ πρὸς θάνατον. Ἔστιν ἁμαρτία πρὸς θάνατον· οὐ περὶ ἐκείνης λέγω ἵνα ἐρωτήσῃ.
If any man shall see his brother sin a sin [which is] not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life for them that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 Πᾶσα ἀδικία ἁμαρτία ἐστίν, καὶ ἔστιν ἁμαρτία οὐ πρὸς θάνατον.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death.
18 Οἴδαμεν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐχ ἁμαρτάνει, ἀλλʼ ὁ γεννηθεὶς ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ τηρεῖ αὐτόν καὶ ὁ πονηρὸς οὐχ ἅπτεται αὐτοῦ.
We know that whoever is born of God, sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 Οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐσμεν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος ὅλος ἐν τῷ πονηρῷ κεῖται.
[And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἥκει, καὶ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν διάνοιαν, ἵνα γινώσκομεν τὸν Ἀληθινόν· καὶ ἐσμὲν ἐν τῷ Ἀληθινῷ, ἐν τῷ Υἱῷ αὐτοῦ, ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστῷ. Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἀληθινὸς ˚Θεὸς καὶ ζωὴ αἰώνιος. (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Τεκνία, φυλάξατε ἑαυτὰ ἀπὸ τῶν εἰδώλων.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
