1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
|
1. Beloved G27 , believe G4100 not G3361 every G3956 spirit G4151 , but G235 try G1381 the G3588 spirits G4151 whether G1487 they are G2076 of G1537 God G2316 : because G3754 many G4183 false prophets G5578 are gone out G1831 into G1519 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
|
2. Hereby G1722 G5129 know G1097 ye the G3588 Spirit G4151 of God G2316 : Every G3956 spirit G4151 that G3739 confesseth G3670 that Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 is come G2064 in G1722 the flesh G4561 is G2076 of G1537 God G2316 :
|
|
3. and every spirit which confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the {cf15i spirit} of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.
|
3. And G2532 every G3956 spirit G4151 that G3739 confesseth G3670 not G3361 that Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 is come G2064 in G1722 the flesh G4561 is G2076 not G3756 of G1537 God G2316 : and G2532 this G5124 is G2076 that G3588 spirit of antichrist G500 , whereof G3739 ye have heard G191 that G3754 it should come G2064 ; and G2532 even now G3568 already G2235 is G2076 it in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
4. Ye are of God, {cf15i my} little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
|
4. Ye G5210 are G2075 of G1537 God G2316 , little children G5040 , and G2532 have overcome G3528 them G846 : because G3754 greater G3187 is G2076 he G3588 that is in G1722 you G5213 , than G2228 he G3588 that is in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
5. They are of the world: therefore speak they {cf15i as} of the world, and the world heareth them.
|
5. They G846 are G1526 of G1537 the G3588 world G2889 : therefore G1223 G5124 speak G2980 they of G1537 the G3588 world G2889 , and G2532 the G3588 world G2889 heareth G191 them G846 .
|
|
6. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
|
6. We G2249 are G2070 of G1537 God G2316 : he that knoweth G1097 God G2316 heareth G191 us G2257 ; he that G3739 is G2076 not G3756 of G1537 God G2316 heareth G191 not G3756 us G2257 . Hereby G1537 G5127 know G1097 we the G3588 spirit G4151 of truth G225 , and G2532 the G3588 spirit G4151 of error G4106 .
|
|
7. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.
|
7. Beloved G27 , let us love G25 one another G240 : for G3754 love G26 is G2076 of G1537 God G2316 ; and G2532 every one G3956 that loveth G25 is born G1080 of G1537 God G2316 , and G2532 knoweth G1097 God G2316 .
|
|
8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
|
8. He that loveth G25 not G3361 knoweth G1097 not G3756 God G2316 ; for G3754 God G2316 is G2076 love G26 .
|
|
9. Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
|
9. In G1722 this G5129 was manifested G5319 the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 toward G1722 us G2254 , because G3754 that God G2316 sent G649 his G848 only begotten G3439 Son G5207 into G1519 the G3588 world G2889 , that G2443 we might live G2198 through G1223 him G846 .
|
|
10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son {cf15i to be} the propitiation for our sins.
|
10. Herein G1722 G5129 is G2076 love G26 , not G3756 that G3754 we G2249 loved G25 God G2316 , but G235 that G3754 he G846 loved G25 us G2248 , and G2532 sent G649 his G848 Son G5207 to be the propitiation G2434 for G4012 our G2257 sins G266 .
|
|
11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
|
11. Beloved G27 , if G1487 God G2316 so G3779 loved G25 us G2248 , we G2249 ought G3784 also G2532 to love G25 one another G240 .
|
|
12. No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:
|
12. No man G3762 hath seen G2300 God G2316 at any time G4455 . If G1437 we love G25 one another G240 , God G2316 dwelleth G3306 in G1722 us G2254 , and G2532 his G848 love G26 is G2076 perfected G5048 in G1722 us G2254 .
|
|
13. hereby know we that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
|
13. Hereby G1722 G5129 know G1097 we that G3754 we dwell G3306 in G1722 him G846 , and G2532 he G846 in G1722 us G2254 , because G3754 he hath given G1325 us G2254 of G1537 his G848 Spirit G4151 .
|
|
14. And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son {cf15i to be} the Saviour of the world.
|
14. And G2532 we G2249 have seen G2300 and G2532 do testify G3140 that G3754 the G3588 Father G3962 sent G649 the G3588 Son G5207 to be the Savior G4990 of the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
|
15. Whosoever G3739 G302 shall confess G3670 that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 , God G2316 dwelleth G3306 in G1722 him G846 , and G2532 he G846 in G1722 God G2316 .
|
|
16. And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.
|
16. And G2532 we G2249 have known G1097 and G2532 believed G4100 the G3588 love G26 that G3739 God G2316 hath G2192 to G1722 us G2254 . God G2316 is G2076 love G26 ; and G2532 he that dwelleth G3306 in G1722 love G26 dwelleth G3306 in G1722 God G2316 , and G2532 God G2316 in G1722 him G846 .
|
|
17. Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.
|
17. Herein G1722 G5129 is G3326 our G2257 love G26 made perfect G5048 , that G2443 we may have G2192 boldness G3954 in G1722 the G3588 day G2250 of judgment G2920 : because G3754 as G2531 he G1565 is G2076 , so G2532 are G2070 we G2249 in G1722 this G5129 world G2889 .
|
|
18. There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
|
18. There is G2076 no G3756 fear G5401 in G1722 love G26 ; but G235 perfect G5046 love G26 casteth G906 out G1854 fear G5401 : because G3754 fear G5401 hath G2192 torment G2851 G1161 . He that feareth G5399 is not G3756 made perfect G5048 in G1722 love G26 .
|
|
19. We love, because he first loved us.
|
19. We G2249 love G25 him G846 , because G3754 he G846 first G4413 loved G25 us G2248 .
|
|
20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.
|
20. If G1437 a man G5100 say G2036 , I love G25 God G2316 , and G2532 hateth G3404 his G848 brother G80 , he is G2076 a liar G5583 : for G1063 he that loveth G25 not G3361 his G848 brother G80 whom G3739 he hath seen G3708 , how G4459 can G1410 he love G25 God G2316 whom G3739 he hath not G3756 seen G3708 ?
|
|
21. And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.
|
21. And G2532 this G5026 commandment G1785 have G2192 we from G575 him G846 , That G2443 he who loveth G25 God G2316 love G25 his G848 brother G80 also G2532 .
