1 John 4

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 My dear friends, not every spirit is to be trusted, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,for many false prophets are at large in the world.	1 Αγαπητοι, μη πιστευετε εις παν πνευμα, αλλα δοκιμαζετε τα πνευματα εν ηναι εκ του Θεου? διοτι πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εξηλθον εις τον κοσμον.
2 This is the proof of the spirit of God: any spirit which acknowledges Jesus Christ, come in humannature, is from God,	2 Εκ τουτου γνωριζετε το Πνευμα του Θεου? παν πνευμα, το οποιον ομολογει οτι ο Ιησους Χριστος ηλθεν εν σαρκι, ειναι εκ του Θεου?
3 and no spirit which fails to acknowledge Jesus is from God; it is the spirit of Antichrist, whose comingyou have heard of; he is already at large in the world.	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.
4 Children, you are from God and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he whois 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.
5 They are from the world, and therefore the world inspires what they say, and listens to them.	5 Αυτοι εκ του κοσμου ειναι? δια τουτο εκ του κοσμου λαλουσι, και ο κοσμος αυτους ακουει.
6 We are from God; whoever recognises God listens to us; anyone who is not from God refuses to listento us. This is how we can distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood.	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.
7 My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child ofGod and knows God.	7 Αγαπητοι, ας αγαπωμεν αλληλους, διοτι η αγαπη ειναι εκ του Θεου, και πας οστις αγαπα εκ του Θεου εγεννηθη και γνωριζει τον Θεον.
8 Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love.	8 Οστις δεν αγαπα δεν εγνωρισε τον Θεον, διοτι ο Θεος ειναι αγαπη.
9 This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might havelife through him.	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.
10 Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate oursins.	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.
11 My dear friends, if God loved us so much, we too should love one another.	11 Αγαπητοι επειδη ουτως ηγαπησεν ημας ο Θεος και ημεις χρεωστουμεν να αγαπωμεν αλληλους.
12 No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his love comesto its perfection in us.	12 Τον Θεον ουδεις ειδε πωποτε? εαν αγαπωμεν αλληλους, ο Θεος μενει εν ημιν, και η αγαπη αυτου ειναι τετελειωμενη εν ημιν.
13 This is the proof that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us a share in his Spirit.	13 Εκ τουτου γνωριζομεν οτι εν αυτω μενομεν και αυτος εν ημιν, διοτι εκ του Πνευματος αυτου εδωκεν εις ημας.
14 We ourselves have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world.	14 Και ημεις ειδομεν και μαρτυρουμεν οτι ο Πατηρ απεστειλε τον Υιον Σωτηρα του κοσμου.
15 Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.	15 Οστις ομολογηση οτι ο Ιησους ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου, ο Θεος μενει εν αυτω και αυτος εν τω Θεω.
16 We have recognised for ourselves, and put our faith in, the love God has for us. God is love, andwhoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.	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.
17 Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because evenin this world we have become as he is.	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.
18 In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment andno one who is afraid has come to perfection in love.	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.
19 Let us love, then, because he first loved us.	19 ημεις αγαπωμεν αυτον, διοτι αυτος πρωτος ηγαπησεν ημας.
20 Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brotherwhom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen.	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;
21 Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also lovehis brother.	21 Και ταυτην την εντολην εχομεν απ' αυτου, οστις αγαπα τον Θεον, να αγαπα και τον αδελφον αυτου.
