1 John - Prima lettera di Giovanni 3

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ιδετε οποιαν αγαπην εδωκεν εις ημας ο Πατηρ, ωστε να ονομασθωμεν τεκνα Θεου. Δια τουτο ο κοσμος δεν γνωριζει ημας, διοτι δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον.	1 Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him.
2 Αγαπητοι, τωρα ειμεθα τεκνα Θεου, και ετι δεν εφανερωθη τι θελομεν εισθαι? εξευρομεν ομως οτι οταν φανερωθη, θελομεν εισθαι ομοιοι με αυτον, διοτι θελομεν ιδει αυτον καθως ειναι.	2 Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.
3 Και πας οστις εχει την ελπιδα ταυτην επ' αυτον καθαριζει εαυτον, καθως εκεινος ειναι καθαρος.	3 And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.
4 Πας οστις πραττει την αμαρτιαν πραττει και την ανομιαν, διοτι η αμαρτια ειναι η ανομια.	4 Whosoever committeth sin commmitteth also iniquity; and sin is iniquity.
5 Και εξευρετε οτι εκεινος εφανερωθη δια να σηκωση τας αμαρτιας ημων, και αμαρτια εν αυτω δεν υπαρχει.	5 And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.
6 Πας οστις μενει εν αυτω δεν αμαρτανει? πας ο αμαρτανων δεν ειδεν αυτον ουδε εγνωρισεν αυτον.	6 Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not; and whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.
7 Τεκνια, ας μη σας πλανα μηδεις? οστις πραττει την δικαιοσυνην ειναι δικαιος, καθως εκεινος ειναι δικαιος?	7 Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.
8 οστις πραττει την αμαρτιαν ειναι εκ του διαβολου, διοτι απ' αρχης ο διαβολος αμαρτανει. Δια τουτο εφανερωθη ο Υιος του Θεου, δια να καταστρεψη τα εργα του διαβολου.	8 He that commmitteth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Πας οστις εγεννηθη εκ του Θεου αμαρτιαν δεν πραττει, διοτι σπερμα αυτου μενει εν αυτω? και δεν δυναται να αμαρτανη, διοτι εγεννηθη εκ του Θεου.	9 Whosoever is born of God, commmitteth not sin: for his seed abideth in him, and he can not sin, because he is born of God.
10 Εν τουτω γνωριζονται τα τεκνα του Θεου και τα τεκνα του διαβολου. Πας οστις δεν πραττει δικαιοσυνην δεν ειναι εκ του Θεου, ουδε οστις δεν αγαπα τον αδελφον αυτου.	10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.
11 Διοτι αυτη ειναι η παραγγελια, την οποιαν ηκουσατε απ' αρχης, να αγαπωμεν αλληλους?	11 For this is the declaration, which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.
12 ουχι καθως ο Καιν ητο εκ του πονηρου και εσφαξε τον αδελφον αυτου? και δια τι εσφαξεν αυτον; διοτι τα εργα αυτου ησαν πονηρα, τα δε του αδελφου αυτου δικαια.	12 Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and killed his brother. And wherefore did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked: and his brother's just.
13 Μη θαυμαζετε, αδελφοι μου, αν ο κοσμος σας μιση.	13 Wonder not, brethren, if the world hate you.
14 ημεις εξευρομεν οτι μετεβημεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην, διοτι αγαπωμεν τους αδελφους? οστις δεν αγαπα τον αδελφον μενει εν τω θανατω.	14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death.
15 Πας οστις μισει τον αδελφον αυτου ειναι ανθρωποκτονος? και εξευρετε οτι πας ανθρωποκτονος δεν εχει ζωην αιωνιον μενουσαν εν εαυτω.	15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself.
16 Εκ τουτου γνωριζομεν την αγαπην, οτι εκεινος υπερ ημων την ψυχην αυτου εβαλε? και ημεις χρεωστουμεν υπερ των αδελφων να βαλλωμεν τας ψυχας ημων.	16 In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 Οστις ομως εχη τον βιον του κοσμου και θεωρη τον αδελφον αυτου οτι εχει χρειαν και κλειση τα σπλαγχνα αυτου απ' αυτου, πως η αγαπη του Θεου μενει εν αυτω;	17 He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?
18 Τεκνια μου, μη αγαπωμεν με λογον μηδε με γλωσσαν, αλλα με εργον και αληθειαν.	18 My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.
19 Και εκ τουτου γνωριζομεν οτι ειμεθα εκ της αληθειας, και θελομεν πληροφορησει τας καρδιας ημων εμπροσθεν αυτου,	19 In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.
20 διοτι εαν μας κατακρινη η καρδια, βεβαιως ο Θεος ειναι μεγαλητερος της καρδιας ημων και γνωριζει τα παντα.	20 For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Αγαπητοι, εαν η καρδια ημων δεν μας κατακρινη, εχομεν παρρησιαν προς τον Θεον,	21 Dearly beloved, if our heart do not reprehend us, we have confidence towards God:
22 και ο, τι αν ζητωμεν λαμβανομεν παρ' αυτου, διοτι φυλαττομεν τας εντολας αυτου και πραττομεν τα αρεστα ενωπιον αυτου.	22 And whatsoever we shall ask, we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
23 Και αυτη ειναι η εντολη αυτου, το να πιστευσωμεν εις το ονομα του Υιου αυτου Ιησου Χριστου και να αγαπωμεν αλληλους καθως εδωκεν εντολην εις ημας.	23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ: and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us.
24 Και οστις φυλαττει τας εντολας αυτου μενει εν αυτω, και αυτος εν εκεινω. Και εκ τουτου γνωριζομεν οτι μενει εν ημιν, εκ του Πνευματος το οποιον εδωκεν εις ημας.	24 And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
