Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
1ιδετε ποταπην αγαπην δεδωκεν ημιν ο πατηρ ινα τεκνα θεου κληθωμεν δια τουτο ο κοσμοσ ου γινωσκει υμασ οτι ουκ εγνω αυτον
2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
2αγαπητοι νυν τεκνα θεου εσμεν και ουπω εφανερωθη τι εσομεθα οιδαμεν δε οτι εαν φανερωθη ομοιοι αυτω εσομεθα οτι οψομεθα αυτον καθωσ εστιν
3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
3και πασ ο εχων την ελπιδα ταυτην επ αυτω αγνιζει εαυτον καθωσ εκεινοσ αγνοσ εστιν
4Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
4πασ ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν και την ανομιαν ποιει και η αμαρτια εστιν η ανομια
5But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
5και οιδατε οτι εκεινοσ εφανερωθη ινα τασ αμαρτιασ ημων αρη και αμαρτια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
6No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
6πασ ο εν αυτω μενων ουχ αμαρτανει πασ ο αμαρτανων ουχ εωρακεν αυτον ουδε εγνωκεν αυτον
7Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
7τεκνια μηδεισ πλανατω υμασ ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην δικαιοσ εστιν καθωσ εκεινοσ δικαιοσ εστιν
8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
8ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν εκ του διαβολου εστιν οτι απ αρχησ ο διαβολοσ αμαρτανει εισ τουτο εφανερωθη ο υιοσ του θεου ινα λυση τα εργα του διαβολου
9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
9πασ ο γεγεννημενοσ εκ του θεου αμαρτιαν ου ποιει οτι σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω μενει και ου δυναται αμαρτανειν οτι εκ του θεου γεγεννηται
10By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
10εν τουτω φανερα εστιν τα τεκνα του θεου και τα τεκνα του διαβολου πασ ο μη ποιων δικαιοσυνην ουκ εστιν εκ του θεου και ο μη αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου
11This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
11οτι αυτη εστιν η αγγελια ην ηκουσατε απ αρχησ ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλουσ
12Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.
12ου καθωσ καιν εκ του πονηρου ην και εσφαξεν τον αδελφον αυτου και χαριν τινοσ εσφαξεν αυτον οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα ην τα δε του αδελφου αυτου δικαια
13So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
13μη θαυμαζετε αδελφοι μου ει μισει υμασ ο κοσμοσ
14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
14ημεισ οιδαμεν οτι μεταβεβηκαμεν εκ του θανατου εισ την ζωην οτι αγαπωμεν τουσ αδελφουσ ο μη αγαπων τον αδελφον μενει εν τω θανατω
15Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.
15πασ ο μισων τον αδελφον αυτου ανθρωποκτονοσ εστιν και οιδατε οτι πασ ανθρωποκτονοσ ουκ εχει ζωην αιωνιον εν εαυτω μενουσαν
16By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
16εν τουτω εγνωκαμεν την αγαπην οτι εκεινοσ υπερ ημων την ψυχην αυτου εθηκεν και ημεισ οφειλομεν υπερ των αδελφων τασ ψυχασ τιθεναι
17If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?
17οσ δ αν εχη τον βιον του κοσμου και θεωρη τον αδελφον αυτου χρειαν εχοντα και κλειση τα σπλαγχνα αυτου απ αυτου πωσ η αγαπη του θεου μενει εν αυτω
18Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
18τεκνια μου μη αγαπωμεν λογω μηδε τη γλωσση αλλ εν εργω και αληθεια
19And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:
19και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εκ τησ αληθειασ εσμεν και εμπροσθεν αυτου πεισομεν τασ καρδιασ ημων
20Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
20οτι εαν καταγινωσκη ημων η καρδια οτι μειζων εστιν ο θεοσ τησ καρδιασ ημων και γινωσκει παντα
21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
21αγαπητοι εαν η καρδια ημων μη καταγινωσκη ημων παρρησιαν εχομεν προσ τον θεον
22and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
22και ο εαν αιτωμεν λαμβανομεν παρ αυτου οτι τασ εντολασ αυτου τηρουμεν και τα αρεστα ενωπιον αυτου ποιουμεν
23And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
23και αυτη εστιν η εντολη αυτου ινα πιστευσωμεν τω ονοματι του υιου αυτου ιησου χριστου και αγαπωμεν αλληλουσ καθωσ εδωκεν εντολην
24Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
24και ο τηρων τασ εντολασ αυτου εν αυτω μενει και αυτοσ εν αυτω και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι μενει εν ημιν εκ του πνευματοσ ου ημιν εδωκεν
