1 John 4
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
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。
2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
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。
3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
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。
4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is 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。
5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
5他們是屬世界的，所以論世界的事，世人也聽從他們。
6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
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。
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
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。
8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
8沒有愛心的，就不認識上帝，因為上帝就是愛。
9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
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。
10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
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。
11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
11親愛的 弟兄 啊，上帝既是這樣愛我們，我們也當彼此相愛。
12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
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。
13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
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。
14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
14父差子作世人的救主；這是我們所看見且作見證的。
15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
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。
16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
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。
17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
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。
18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
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。
19We love him, because he first loved us.
19我們愛，因為上帝先愛我們。
20If 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, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
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。
21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
21愛上帝的，也當愛弟兄，這是我們從上帝所受的命令。
