約翰一書 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1親愛的 弟兄 啊，一切的靈，你們不可都信，總要試驗那些靈是出於上帝的不是，因為世上有許多假先知已經出來了。
1Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2凡靈認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的，就是出於上帝的；從此你們可以認出上帝的靈來。
2By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God:
3凡靈不認耶穌，就不是出於上帝，這是那敵基督者的靈。你們從前聽見他要來，現在已經在世上了。
3And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world.
4小子們哪，你們是屬上帝的，並且勝了他們；因為那在你們裏面的，比那在世界上的更大。
4You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5他們是屬世界的，所以論世界的事，世人也聽從他們。
5They are of the world: therefore of the world they speak, and the world heareth them.
6我們是屬上帝的，認識上帝的就聽從我們；不屬上帝的就不聽從我們。從此我們可以認出真理的靈和謬妄的靈來。
6We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us. He that is not of God, heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7親愛的 弟兄 啊，我們應當彼此相愛，因為愛是從上帝來的。凡有愛心的，都是由上帝而生，並且認識上帝。
7Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.
8沒有愛心的，就不認識上帝，因為上帝就是愛。
8He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.
9上帝差他獨生子到世間來，使我們藉着他得生，上帝愛我們的心在此就顯明了。
9By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him.
10不是我們愛上帝，乃是上帝愛我們，差他的兒子為我們的罪作了挽回祭，這就是愛了。
10In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
11親愛的 弟兄 啊，上帝既是這樣愛我們，我們也當彼此相愛。
11My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.
12從來沒有人見過上帝，我們若彼此相愛，上帝就住在我們裏面，愛他的心在我們裏面得以完全了。
12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.
13上帝將他的靈賜給我們，從此就知道我們是住在他裏面，他也住在我們裏面。
13In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit.
14父差子作世人的救主；這是我們所看見且作見證的。
14And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15凡認耶穌為上帝兒子的，上帝就住在他裏面，他也住在上帝裏面。
15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
16上帝愛我們的心，我們也知道也信。 上帝就是愛；住在愛裏面的，就是住在上帝裏面，上帝也住在他裏面。
16And we have known, and have believed the charity, which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him.
17這樣，愛在我們裏面得以完全，我們就可以在審判的日子坦然無懼。因為他如何，我們在這世上也如何。
17In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world.
18愛裏沒有懼怕；愛既完全，就把懼怕除去。因為懼怕裏含着刑罰，懼怕的人在愛裏未得完全。
18Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity.
19我們愛，因為上帝先愛我們。
19Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us.
20人若說「我愛上帝」，卻恨他的弟兄，就是說謊話的；不愛他所看見的弟兄，就不能愛沒有看見的上帝。
20If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not?
21愛上帝的，也當愛弟兄，這是我們從上帝所受的命令。
21And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.
