1 John - Prima lettera di Giovanni 2

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Τεκνια μου, ταυτα σας γραφω δια να μη αμαρτησητε. Και εαν τις αμαρτηση, εχομεν παρακλητον προς τον Πατερα, τον Ιησουν Χριστον τον δικαιον?	1 My little sons, this I write to you, so that you may not sin. But if anyone has sinned, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just One.
2 και αυτος ειναι ιλασμος περι των αμαρτιων ημων, και ουχι μονον περι των ημετερων, αλλα και περι ολου του κοσμου.	2 And he is the propitiation for our sins. And not only for our sins, but also for those of the whole world.
3 Και εν τουτω γνωριζομεν οτι εγνωρισαμεν αυτον, εαν τας εντολας αυτου φυλαττωμεν.	3 And we can be sure that we have known him by this: if we observe his commandments.
4 Οστις λεγει, Εγνωρισα αυτον, και τας εντολας αυτου δεν φυλαττει, ψευστης ειναι, και εν τουτω η αληθεια δεν υπαρχει?	4 Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 οστις ομως φυλαττη τον λογον αυτου, αληθως εν τουτω η αγαπη του Θεου ειναι τετελειωμενη. Εν τουτω γνωριζομεν οτι ειμεθα εν αυτω.	5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.
6 Οστις λεγει οτι μενει εν αυτω χρεωστει, καθως εκεινος περιεπατησε, και αυτος ουτω να περιπατη.	6 Whoever declares himself to remain in him, ought to walk just as he himself walked.
7 Αδελφοι, δεν σας γραφω εντολην νεαν, αλλ' εντολην παλαιαν, την οποιαν ειχετε απ' αρχης? η εντολη η παλαια ειναι ο λογος, τον οποιον ηκουσατε απ' αρχης.	7 Most beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but the old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word, which you have heard.
8 Παλιν εντολην νεαν σας γραφω, το οποιον ειναι αληθες εις αυτον και εις εσας, διοτι το σκοτος παρερχεται και το φως το αληθινον ηδη φεγγει.	8 Then too, I am writing to you a new commandment, which is the Truth in him and in you. For the darkness has passed away, and the true Light is now shining.
9 Οστις λεγει οτι ειναι εν τω φωτι και μισει τον αδελφον αυτου, εν τω σκοτει ειναι εως τωρα.	9 Whoever declares himself to be in the light, and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness even now.
10 Οστις αγαπα τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει, και σκανδαλον εν αυτω δεν ειναι?	10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause of offense in him.
11 οστις ομως μισει τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω σκοτει ειναι και εν τω σκοτει περιπατει και δεν εξευρει που υπαγει, διοτι το σκοτος ετυφλωσε τους οφθαλμους αυτου.	11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness, and in darkness he walks, and he does not know where he is going. For the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Γραφω προς εσας, τεκνια, διοτι συνεχωρηθησαν αι αμαρτιαι σας δια το ονομα αυτου.	12 I am writing to you, little sons, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of his name.
13 Γραφω προς εσας, πατερες, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον απ' αρχης. Γραφω προς εσας, νεανισκοι, διοτι ενικησατε τον πονηρον. Γραφω προς εσας, παιδια, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον Πατερα.	13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, adolescents, because you have overcome the evil one.
14 Εγραψα προς εσας, πατερες, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον απ' αρχης. Εγραψα προς εσας, νεανισκοι, διοτι εισθε ισχυροι και ο λογος του Θεου μενει εν υμιν και ενικησατε τον πονηρον.	14 I am writing to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I am writing to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Μη αγαπατε τον κοσμον μηδε τα εν τω κοσμω. Εαν τις αγαπα τον κοσμον, η αγαπη του Πατρος δεν ειναι εν αυτω?	15 Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
16 διοτι παν το εν τω κοσμω, η επιθυμια της σαρκος και η επιθυμια των οφθαλμων και η αλαζονεια του βιου δεν ειναι εκ του Πατρος, αλλ' ειναι εκ του κοσμου.	16 For all that is in the world is the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the arrogance of a life which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Και ο κοσμος παρερχεται και η επιθυμια αυτου? οστις ομως πραττει το θελημα του Θεου μενει εις τον αιωνα.	17 And the world is passing away, with its desire. But whoever does the will of God abides unto eternity.
18 Παιδια, εσχατη ωρα ειναι, και καθως ηκουσατε οτι ο αντιχριστος ερχεται, και τωρα πολλοι αντιχριστοι υπαρχουσιν? οθεν γνωριζομεν οτι ειναι εσχατη ωρα.	18 Little sons, it is the last hour. And, as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have arrived. By this, we know that it is the last hour.
19 Εξ ημων εξηλθον, αλλα δεν ησαν εξ ημων? διοτι εαν ησαν εξ ημων, ηθελον μενει μεθ' υμων? αλλα εξηλθον δια να φανερωθωσιν οτι δεν ειναι παντες εξ ημων.	19 They went out from among us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, certainly they would have remained with us. But in this way, it is made manifest that none of them are of us.
20 Και σεις εχετε χρισμα απο του Αγιου και γνωριζετε παντα.	20 Yet you have the anointing of the Holy One, and you know everything.
21 Δεν σας εγραψα διοτι δεν εξευρετε την αληθειαν, αλλα διοτι εξευρετε αυτην, και διοτι παν ψευδος εκ της αληθειας δεν ειναι.	21 I have not written to you as to ones who are ignorant of the truth, but as to ones who know the truth. For no lie is of the truth.
22 Τις ειναι ο ψευστης, ειμη ο αρνουμενος οτι ο Ιησους δεν ειναι ο Χριστος; ουτος ειναι ο αντιχριστος, ο αρνουμενος τον Πατερα και τον Υιον.	22 Who is a liar, other than he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Πας ο αρνουμενος τον Υιον δεν εχει ουδε τον Πατερα. Οστις ομολογει τον Υιον εχει και τον Πατερα.	23 No one who denies the Son also has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son, also has the Father.
24 Εκεινο λοιπον το οποιον υμεις ηκουσατε απ' αρχης, ας μενη εν υμιν. Εαν μενη εν υμιν εκεινο το οποιον ηκουσατε απ' αρχης, και υμεις θελετε μενει εν τω Υιω και εν τω Πατρι.	24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you, too, shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 Και αυτη ειναι η υποσχεσις, την οποιαν αυτος υπεσχεθη προς ημας, η ζωη η αιωνιος.	25 And this is the Promise, which he himself has promised to us: Eternal Life.
26 Ταυτα σας εγραψα περι εκεινων, οιτινες σας πλανωσι.	26 I have written these things to you, because of those who would seduce you.
27 Και το χρισμα, το οποιον υμεις ελαβετε απ' αυτου, εν υμιν μενει, και δεν εχετε χρειαν να σας διδασκη τις? αλλα καθως σας διδασκει το αυτο χρισμα περι παντων, ουτω και αληθες ειναι και δεν ειναι ψευδος? και καθως σας εδιδαξε, θελετε μενει εν αυτω.	27 But as for you, let the Anointing that you have received from him abide in you. And so, you have no need of anyone to teach you. For his Anointing teaches you about everything, and it is the truth, and it is not a lie. And just as his Anointing has taught you, abide in him.
28 Και τωρα, τεκνια, μενετε εν αυτω, ινα οταν φανερωθη, εχωμεν παρρησιαν και μη αισχυνθωμεν απ' αυτου εν τη παρουσια αυτου.	28 And now, little sons, abide in him, so that when he appears, we may have faith, and we may not be confounded by him at his advent.
29 Εαν εξευρητε οτι ειναι δικαιος, γνωριζετε οτι πας ο πραττων την δικαιοσυνην εξ αυτου εγεννηθη.	29 If you know that he is just, then know, too, that all who do what is just are born of him.
