Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
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.
1αγαπητοι μη παντι πνευματι πιστευετε αλλα δοκιμαζετε τα πνευματα ει εκ του θεου εστιν οτι πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εξεληλυθασιν εισ τον κοσμον
2By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God:
2εν τουτω γινωσκεται το πνευμα του θεου παν πνευμα ο ομολογει ιησουν χριστον εν σαρκι εληλυθοτα εκ του θεου εστιν
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.
3και παν πνευμα ο μη ομολογει ιησουν χριστον εν σαρκι εληλυθοτα εκ του θεου ουκ εστιν και τουτο εστιν το του αντιχριστου ο ακηκοατε οτι ερχεται και νυν εν τω κοσμω εστιν ηδη
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.
4υμεισ εκ του θεου εστε τεκνια και νενικηκατε αυτουσ οτι μειζων εστιν ο εν υμιν η ο εν τω κοσμω
5They are of the world: therefore of the world they speak, and the world heareth them.
5αυτοι εκ του κοσμου εισιν δια τουτο εκ του κοσμου λαλουσιν και ο κοσμοσ αυτων ακουει
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.
6ημεισ εκ του θεου εσμεν ο γινωσκων τον θεον ακουει ημων οσ ουκ εστιν εκ του θεου ουκ ακουει ημων εκ τουτου γινωσκομεν το πνευμα τησ αληθειασ και το πνευμα τησ πλανησ
7Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.
7αγαπητοι αγαπωμεν αλληλουσ οτι η αγαπη εκ του θεου εστιν και πασ ο αγαπων εκ του θεου γεγεννηται και γινωσκει τον θεον
8He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.
8ο μη αγαπων ουκ εγνω τον θεον οτι ο θεοσ αγαπη εστιν
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.
9εν τουτω εφανερωθη η αγαπη του θεου εν ημιν οτι τον υιον αυτου τον μονογενη απεσταλκεν ο θεοσ εισ τον κοσμον ινα ζησωμεν δι αυτου
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.
10εν τουτω εστιν η αγαπη ουχ οτι ημεισ ηγαπησαμεν τον θεον αλλ οτι αυτοσ ηγαπησεν ημασ και απεστειλεν τον υιον αυτου ιλασμον περι των αμαρτιων ημων
11My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.
11αγαπητοι ει ουτωσ ο θεοσ ηγαπησεν ημασ και ημεισ οφειλομεν αλληλουσ αγαπαν
12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.
12θεον ουδεισ πωποτε τεθεαται εαν αγαπωμεν αλληλουσ ο θεοσ εν ημιν μενει και η αγαπη αυτου τετελειωμενη εστιν εν ημιν
13In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit.
13εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω μενομεν και αυτοσ εν ημιν οτι εκ του πνευματοσ αυτου δεδωκεν ημιν
14And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.
14και ημεισ τεθεαμεθα και μαρτυρουμεν οτι ο πατηρ απεσταλκεν τον υιον σωτηρα του κοσμου
15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
15οσ αν ομολογηση οτι ιησουσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου ο θεοσ εν αυτω μενει και αυτοσ εν τω θεω
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.
16και ημεισ εγνωκαμεν και πεπιστευκαμεν την αγαπην ην εχει ο θεοσ εν ημιν ο θεοσ αγαπη εστιν και ο μενων εν τη αγαπη εν τω θεω μενει και ο θεοσ εν αυτω μενει
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.
17εν τουτω τετελειωται η αγαπη μεθ ημων ινα παρρησιαν εχωμεν εν τη ημερα τησ κρισεωσ οτι καθωσ εκεινοσ εστιν και ημεισ εσμεν εν τω κοσμω τουτω
18Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity.
18φοβοσ ουκ εστιν εν τη αγαπη αλλ η τελεια αγαπη εξω βαλλει τον φοβον οτι ο φοβοσ κολασιν εχει ο δε φοβουμενοσ ου τετελειωται εν τη αγαπη
19Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us.
19ημεισ αγαπωμεν αυτον οτι αυτοσ πρωτοσ ηγαπησεν ημασ
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?
20εαν τισ ειπη οτι αγαπω τον θεον και τον αδελφον αυτου μιση ψευστησ εστιν ο γαρ μη αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου ον εωρακεν τον θεον ον ουχ εωρακεν πωσ δυναται αγαπαν
21And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.
21και ταυτην την εντολην εχομεν απ αυτου ινα ο αγαπων τον θεον αγαπα και τον αδελφον αυτου
