Berean Standard Bible
1Filioli mei, hæc scribo vobis, ut non peccetis. Sed et si quis peccaverit, advocatum habemus apud Patrem, Jesum Christum justum:
1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
2et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris: non pro nostris autem tantum, sed etiam pro totius mundi.
2He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
3Et in hoc scimus quoniam cognovimus eum, si mandata ejus observemus.
3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
4Qui dicit se nosse eum, et mandata ejus non custodit, mendax est, et in hoc veritas non est.
4If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5Qui autem servat verbum ejus, vere in hoc caritas Dei perfecta est: et in hoc scimus quoniam in ipso sumus.
5But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:
6Qui dicit se in ipso manere, debet, sicut ille ambulavit, et ipse ambulare.
6Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
7Carissimi, non mandatum novum scribo vobis, sed mandatum vetus, quod habuistis ab initio. Mandatum vetus est verbum, quod audistis.
7Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.
8Iterum mandatum novum scribo vobis, quod verum est et in ipso, et in vobis: quia tenebræ transierunt, et verum lumen jam lucet.
8Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
9Qui dicit se in luce esse, et fratrem suum odit, in tenebris est usque adhuc.
9If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
10Qui diligit fratrem suum, in lumine manet, et scandalum in eo non est.
10Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
11Qui autem odit fratrem suum, in tenebris est, et in tenebris ambulat, et nescit quo eat: quia tenebræ obcæcaverunt oculos ejus.
11But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12Scribo vobis, filioli, quoniam remittuntur vobis peccata propter nomen ejus.
12I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
13Scribo vobis, patres, quoniam cognovistis eum, qui ab initio est. Scribo vobis, adolescentes, quoniam vicistis malignum.
13I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
14Scribo vobis, infantes, quoniam cognovistis patrem. Scribo vobis juvenes, quoniam fortes estis, et verbum Dei manet in vobis, et vicistis malignum.
14I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15Nolite diligere mundum, neque ea quæ in mundo sunt. Si quis diligit mundum, non est caritas Patris in eo:
15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16quoniam omne quod est in mundo, concupiscentia carnis est, et concupiscentia oculorum, et superbia vitæ: quæ non est ex Patre, sed ex mundo est.
16For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
17Et mundus transit, et concupiscentia ejus: qui autem facit voluntatem Dei manet in æternum.
17The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.
18Filioli, novissima hora est: et sicut audistis quia antichristus venit, et nunc antichristi multi facti sunt; unde scimus, quia novissima hora est.
18Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.
19Ex nobis prodierunt, sed non erant ex nobis, nam, si fuissent ex nobis, permansissent utique nobiscum: sed ut manifesti sint quoniam non sunt omnes ex nobis.
19They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.
20Sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto, et nostis omnia.
20You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
21Non scripsi vobis quasi ignorantibus veritatem, sed quasi scientibus eam: et quoniam omne mendacium ex veritate non est.
21I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.
22Quis est mendax, nisi is qui negat quoniam Jesus est Christus? Hic est antichristus, qui negat Patrem, et Filium.
22Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23Omnis qui negat Filium, nec Patrem habet: qui confitetur Filium, et Patrem habet.
23Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
24Vos quod audistis ab initio, in vobis permaneat: si in vobis permanserit quod audistis ab initio, et vos in Filio et Patre manebitis.
24As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
25Et hæc est repromissio, quam ipse pollicitus est nobis, vitam æternam.
25And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.
26Hæc scripsi vobis de his, qui seducant vos.
26I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27Et vos unctionem, quam accepistis ab eo, maneat in vobis. Et non necesse habetis ut aliquis doceat vos: sed sicut unctio ejus docet vos de omnibus, et verum est, et non est mendacium. Et sicut docuit vos: manete in eo.
27And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
28Et nunc, filioli, manete in eo: ut cum apparuerit, habeamus fiduciam, et non confundamur ab eo in adventu ejus.
28And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
29Si scitis quoniam justus est, scitote quoniam et omnis, qui facit justitiam, ex ipso natus est.
29If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
