1 he priyabAlakAH, yuSmAbhi ryat pApaM na kriyeta tadarthaM yuSmAn pratyetAni mayA likhyante| yadi tu kenApi pApaM kriyate tarhi pituH samIpe 'smAkaM ekaH sahAyo 'rthato dhArmmiko yIzuH khrISTo vidyate|
My children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 sa cAsmAkaM pApAnAM prAyazcittaM kevalamasmAkaM nahi kintu likhilasaMsArasya pApAnAM prAyazcittaM|
And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 vayaM taM jAnIma iti tadIyAjJApAlanenAvagacchAmaH|
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 ahaM taM jAnAmIti vaditvA yastasyAjJA na pAlayati so 'nRtavAdI satyamataJca tasyAntare na vidyate|
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 yaH kazcit tasya vAkyaM pAlayati tasmin Izvarasya prema satyarUpeNa sidhyati vayaM tasmin varttAmahe tad etenAvagacchAmaH|
But whoever keepeth his word, truly in him is the love of God perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
6 ahaM tasmin tiSThAmIti yo gadati tasyedam ucitaM yat khrISTo yAdRg AcaritavAn so 'pi tAdRg Acaret|
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 he priyatamAH, yuSmAn pratyahaM nUtanAmAjJAM likhAmIti nahi kintvAdito yuSmAbhi rlabdhAM purAtanAmAjJAM likhAmi| Adito yuSmAbhi ryad vAkyaM zrutaM sA purAtanAjJA|
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard.
8 punarapi yuSmAn prati nUtanAjJA mayA likhyata etadapi tasmin yuSmAsu ca satyaM, yato 'ndhakAro vyatyeti satyA jyotizcedAnIM prakAzate;
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him, and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shineth.
9 ahaM jyotiSi vartta iti gaditvA yaH svabhrAtaraM dveSTi so 'dyApi tamisre varttate|
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 svabhrAtari yaH prIyate sa eva jyotiSi varttate vighnajanakaM kimapi tasmin na vidyate|
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him;
11 kintu svabhrAtaraM yo dveSTi sa timire varttate timire carati ca timireNa ca tasya nayane 'ndhIkriyete tasmAt kka yAmIti sa jJAtuM na zaknoti|
but he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 he zizavaH, yUyaM tasya nAmnA pApakSamAM prAptavantastasmAd ahaM yuSmAn prati likhAmi|
I write to you, my children, because your sins have been forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 he pitaraH, ya Adito varttamAnastaM yUyaM jAnItha tasmAd yuSmAn prati likhAmi| he yuvAnaH yUyaM pApatmAnaM jitavantastasmAd yuSmAn prati likhAmi| he bAlakAH, yUyaM pitaraM jAnItha tasmAdahaM yuSmAn prati likhitavAn|
I write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, my children, because ye know the Father.
14 he pitaraH, Adito yo varttamAnastaM yUyaM jAnItha tasmAd yuSmAn prati likhitavAn| he yuvAnaH, yUyaM balavanta Adhve, Izvarasya vAkyaJca yuSmadantare vartate pApAtmA ca yuSmAbhiH parAjigye tasmAd yuSmAn prati likhitavAn|
I have written to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the Evil One.
15 yUyaM saMsAre saMsArasthaviSayeSu ca mA prIyadhvaM yaH saMsAre prIyate tasyAntare pituH prema na tiSThati|
Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
16 yataH saMsAre yadyat sthitam arthataH zArIrikabhAvasyAbhilASo darzanendriyasyAbhilASo jIvanasya garvvazca sarvvametat pitRto na jAyate kintu saMsAradeva|
because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 saMsArastadIyAbhilASazca vyatyeti kintu ya IzvarasyeSTaM karoti so 'nantakAlaM yAvat tiSThati| (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 he bAlakAH, zeSakAlo'yaM, aparaM khrISTAriNopasthAvyamiti yuSmAbhi ryathA zrutaM tathA bahavaH khrISTAraya upasthitAstasmAdayaM zeSakAlo'stIti vayaM jAnImaH|
My children, the last time is come; and as ye have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that the last time is come.
19 te 'smanmadhyAn nirgatavantaH kintvasmadIyA nAsan yadyasmadIyA abhaviSyan tarhyasmatsaGge 'sthAsyan, kintu sarvve 'smadIyA na santyetasya prakAza Avazyaka AsIt|
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
20 yaH pavitrastasmAd yUyam abhiSekaM prAptavantastena sarvvANi jAnItha|
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 yUyaM satyamataM na jAnItha tatkAraNAd ahaM yuSmAn prati likhitavAn tannahi kintu yUyaM tat jAnItha satyamatAcca kimapyanRtavAkyaM notpadyate tatkAraNAdeva|
I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 yIzurabhiSiktastrAteti yo nAGgIkaroti taM vinA ko 'paro 'nRtavAdI bhavet? sa eva khrISTAri ryaH pitaraM putraJca nAGgIkaroti|
Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.
23 yaH kazcit putraM nAGgIkaroti sa pitaramapi na dhArayati yazca putramaGgIkaroti sa pitaramapi dhArayati|
Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father.
24 Adito yuSmAbhi ryat zrutaM tad yuSmAsu tiSThatu, AditaH zrutaM vAkyaM yadi yuSmAsu tiSThati, tarhi yUyamapi putre pitari ca sthAsyatha|
As for you, let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he himself promised us, even the life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
26 ye janA yuSmAn bhrAmayanti tAnadhyaham idaM likhitavAn|
These things I have written to you concerning those who seduce you.
27 aparaM yUyaM tasmAd yam abhiSekaM prAptavantaH sa yuSmAsu tiSThati tataH ko'pi yad yuSmAn zikSayet tad anAvazyakaM, sa cAbhiSeko yuSmAn sarvvANi zikSayati satyazca bhavati na cAtathyaH, ataH sa yuSmAn yadvad azikSayat tadvat tatra sthAsyatha|
And the anointing which ye yourselves received from him abideth in you, and ye have no need that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is not a lie, even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 ataeva he priyabAlakA yUyaM tatra tiSThata, tathA sati sa yadA prakAziSyate tadA vayaM pratibhAnvitA bhaviSyAmaH, tasyAgamanasamaye ca tasya sAkSAnna trapiSyAmahe|
And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 sa dhArmmiko 'stIti yadi yUyaM jAnItha tarhi yaH kazcid dharmmAcAraM karoti sa tasmAt jAta ityapi jAnIta|
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness hath been born of him.
