1 John - Prima lettera di Giovanni 4

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Αγαπητοι, μη πιστευετε εις παν πνευμα, αλλα δοκιμαζετε τα πνευματα εν ηναι εκ του Θεου? διοτι πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εξηλθον εις τον κοσμον.	1 Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 Εκ τουτου γνωριζετε το Πνευμα του Θεου? παν πνευμα, το οποιον ομολογει οτι ο Ιησους Χριστος ηλθεν εν σαρκι, ειναι εκ του Θεου?	2 This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh be longs to God,
3 και παν πνευμα, το οποιον δεν ομολογει οτι ο Ιησους Χριστος ηλθεν εν σαρκι, δεν ειναι εκ του Θεου? και τουτο ειναι το πνευμα του αντιχριστου, το οποιον ηκουσατε οτι ερχεται, και τωρα μαλιστα ειναι εν τω κοσμω.	3 and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.
4 Σεις εκ του Θεου εισθε, τεκνια, και ενικησατε αυτους, διοτι μεγαλητερος ειναι εκεινος οστις ειναι εν υμιν παρα οστις ειναι εν τω κοσμω.	4 You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
5 Αυτοι εκ του κοσμου ειναι? δια τουτο εκ του κοσμου λαλουσι, και ο κοσμος αυτους ακουει.	5 They belong to the world; accordingly, their teaching belongs to the world, and the world listens to them.
6 ημεις εκ του Θεου ειμεθα? οστις γνωριζει τον Θεον ακουει ημας? οστις δεν ειναι εκ του Θεου δεν ακουει ημας. Εκ τουτου γνωριζομεν το πνευμα της αληθειας και το πνευμα της πλανης.	6 We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.
7 Αγαπητοι, ας αγαπωμεν αλληλους, διοτι η αγαπη ειναι εκ του Θεου, και πας οστις αγαπα εκ του Θεου εγεννηθη και γνωριζει τον Θεον.	7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.
8 Οστις δεν αγαπα δεν εγνωρισε τον Θεον, διοτι ο Θεος ειναι αγαπη.	8 Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.
9 Εν τουτω εφανερωθη η αγαπη του Θεου προς ημας, οτι τον Υιον αυτου τον μονογενη απεστειλεν ο Θεος εις τον κοσμον, δια να ζησωμεν δι' αυτου.	9 In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.
10 Εν τουτω ειναι η αγαπη, ουχι οτι ημεις ηγαπησαμεν τον Θεον, αλλ' οτι αυτος ηγαπησεν ημας και απεστειλε τον Υιον αυτου ιλασμον περι των αμαρτιων ημων.	10 In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
11 Αγαπητοι επειδη ουτως ηγαπησεν ημας ο Θεος και ημεις χρεωστουμεν να αγαπωμεν αλληλους.	11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.
12 Τον Θεον ουδεις ειδε πωποτε? εαν αγαπωμεν αλληλους, ο Θεος μενει εν ημιν, και η αγαπη αυτου ειναι τετελειωμενη εν ημιν.	12 No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us.
13 Εκ τουτου γνωριζομεν οτι εν αυτω μενομεν και αυτος εν ημιν, διοτι εκ του Πνευματος αυτου εδωκεν εις ημας.	13 This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit.
14 Και ημεις ειδομεν και μαρτυρουμεν οτι ο Πατηρ απεστειλε τον Υιον Σωτηρα του κοσμου.	14 Moreover, we have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as savior of the world.
15 Οστις ομολογηση οτι ο Ιησους ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου, ο Θεος μενει εν αυτω και αυτος εν τω Θεω.	15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.
16 Και ημεις εγνωρισαμεν και επιστευσαμεν την αγαπην την οποιαν εχει ο Θεος προς ημας. Ο Θεος ειναι αγαπη, και οστις μενει εν τη αγαπη εν τω Θεω μενει και ο Θεος εν αυτω.	16 We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.
17 Εν τουτω ειναι τετελειωμενη η αγαπη μεθ' ημων, δια να εχωμεν παρρησιαν εν τη ημερα της κρισεως, διοτι καθως εκεινος ειναι, ουτω και ημεις ειμεθα εν τω κοσμω τουτω.	17 In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 Φοβος δεν ειναι εν τη αγαπη, αλλ' η τελεια αγαπη εξω διωκει τον φοβον, διοτι ο φοβος εχει κολασιν? και ο φοβουμενος δεν ειναι τετελειωμενος εν τη αγαπη.	18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love.
19 ημεις αγαπωμεν αυτον, διοτι αυτος πρωτος ηγαπησεν ημας.	19 We love because he first loved us.
20 Εαν τις ειπη οτι αγαπω τον Θεον, και μιση τον αδελφον αυτου, ψευστης ειναι? διοτι οστις δεν αγαπα τον αδελφον αυτου, τον οποιον ειδε, τον Θεον, τον οποιον δεν ειδε πως δυναται να αγαπα;	20 If anyone says, "I love God," but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21 Και ταυτην την εντολην εχομεν απ' αυτου, οστις αγαπα τον Θεον, να αγαπα και τον αδελφον αυτου.	21 This is the commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
