我们的维护者基督

我的孩子们,我写这些给你们,是要你们不犯罪。如果有人犯了罪,在父的面前我们有一位维护者,就是那义者耶稣基督。 他为我们的罪作了赎罪祭,不仅为我们的罪,也为全人类的罪。 我们若遵守 神的命令,这样,就知道我们已经认识他。 凡是说“我已经认识他”,却不遵守他命令的,就是说谎的人,真理就不在他里面了。 然而凡是遵守他的道的,他爱 神的心就的确在他里面完全了。这样,我们就知道我们是在 神里面了。 凡说自己是住在他里面的,就应该照着他所行的去行。

爱弟兄的就是住在光明中

亲爱的,我写给你们的,不是一条新命令,而是你们本来就有的旧命令。这旧命令就是你们听过的道。 然而,因为黑暗渐渐消逝,真光已在照耀,我写给你们的也是一条新命令,这在 神和在你们来说,都是真的。 凡是说自己在光明中,却恨他的弟兄的,他到现在还在黑暗里。 10 凡是爱弟兄的,就是住在光明中,在光明中他就不会跌倒。 11 凡是恨弟兄的,就是在黑暗里,也在黑暗里行事。他不知道往哪里去,因为黑暗弄瞎了他的眼睛。

12 孩子们,我写信给你们,

因为你们的罪因着主的名已经得到赦免。

13 父老们,我写信给你们,

因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位。

青年们,我写信给你们,

因为你们已经胜过那恶者。

14 孩子们,我写信给你们,

因为你们认识父。

父老们,我写信给你们,

因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位。

青年们,我写信给你们,

因为你们强壮, 神的道在你们心里,

你们也胜过了那恶者。

15 不要爱世界和世上的东西。人若爱世界,爱父的心就不在他里面了。 16 原来世上的一切,就如肉体的私欲,眼目的私欲和今生的骄傲,都不是出于父,而是从世界来的。 17 这世界和世上的私欲都要渐渐过去,但那遵行 神旨意的却存到永远。

敌基督者否认耶稣是基督

18 孩子们,现在是末世的时候了。你们听过敌基督者要来,现在已经有不少敌基督起来了;因此我们就知道这是末世的时候了。 19 他们从我们中间离去,这就表明他们是不属于我们的。其实他们并不属于我们,如果真的属于我们,就一定会留在我们中间。 20 你们从那圣者得着膏抹,这是你们都知道的。 21 我写信给你们,不是因为你们不明白真理,而是因为你们明白,又因为谎言绝不会出于真理的。 22 那么,谁是说谎的呢?不就是那否认耶稣是基督的吗?否认父和子的,他就是敌基督的。 23 凡否认子的,就没有父;承认子的,连父也有了。 24 至于你们,总要把起初所听见的存记在你们心里;你们若把起初所听见的存记在心里,你们也就住在子和父里面了。 25 他应许给我们的,就是永远的生命。

26 我把这些事写给你们,是指着那些欺骗你们的人说的。 27 你们既然在你们里面有从主领受的膏抹,就不需要别人教导你们了,因为在一切事上有主的膏抹教导你们;这膏抹是真的,不是假的,你们应该按着他所教导的住在他里面。

 神的儿女就不犯罪

28 孩子们,你们要住在主里面。这样,他若显现,我们就可以坦然无惧;他来的时候,我们也不至惭愧地躲避他了。 29 你们既然晓得 神是公义的,就应当知道所有行公义的都是从他生的。

E aku tamariki nonohi, ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau i enei mea ki a koutou, kia kaua ai koutou e hara. A ki te hara tetahi, he kaikorero mo tatou kei te Matua, ko Ihu Karaiti, ko te tika:

Ko ia ano te whakamarie mo o tatou hara: ehara i te mea mo o tatou anake, engari mo o te ao katoa.

Ma konei hoki tatou ka matau ai kua matau tatou ki a ia, ki te puritia e tatou ana ture.

Ki te mea tetahi, Kua matau ahau ki a ia, a kahore e pupuri i ana ture, he tangata teka ia, kahore hoki te pono i roto i a ia.

Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i tana kupu, kua tino rite pu i a ia te aroha o te Atua: ma konei tatou ka matau ai kei roto tatou i a ia:

Ko te tangata e mea ana e noho ana ia i roto i a ia, ko te tikanga tenei mana, kia rite tana haere ki ta tera.

E oku teina, ehara i te ture hou taku e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koutou, engari he ture tawhito, ko tera i a koutou o te timatanga iho ra ano: ko te ture tawhito ko te kupu kua rongo ra koutou.

Na, he ture hou taku e tuhituhi atu nei, he mea pono i a ia, i a koutou hoki, e mahea atu ana hoki te pouri, a kua whiti ke mai te marama pono.

Ko te tangata e mea ana kei te marama ia, a e mauahara ana ki tona teina, kei roto ia i te pouri a tae noa mai nei.

10 Ko te tangata e aroha ana ki tona teina, e noho ana ia i roto i te marama, kahore hoki he tutukitanga waewae i roto i a ia.

11 Ko te tangata ia e mauahara ana ki tona teina, kei te pouri ia, e haere ana ia i roto i te pouri, kahore hoki ona matauranga e haere ana ia ki hea, no te mea kua matapotia ona kanohi e te pouri.

12 Ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e nga tamariki nonohi, no te mea kua murua o koutou hara, he whakaaro hoki ki tona ingoa.

13 Ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e nga matua, no te mea kua matau koutou ki a ia, ara ki to te timatanga. Ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e nga taitamariki, no te mea kua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino. Ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e nga tamariki nohinohi, no te mea kua matau koutou ki te Matua.

14 I tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e nga matua, no te mea kua matau koutou ki a ia, ara ki to te timatanga. I tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e nga taitamariki, no te mea he kaha koutou, e mau ana hoki te kupu a te Atua i roto i a koutou, a k ua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino.

15 Kaua e aroha ki te ao, kaua ano hoki ki nga mea o te ao. Ki te aroha tetahi ki te ao, kahore te aroha o te Matua i roto i a ia.

16 Ko nga mea katoa hoki i te ao, te hiahia o te kikokiko, te hiahia o nga kanohi, me te whakapehapeha ki o te ao mea, ehara i te Matua, engari no te ao.

17 E pahemo atu ana hoki te ao, me tona hiahia: tena ko te tangata e mea ana i ta te Atua e pai ai, e noho tonu ana ia a ake ake.

18 E nga tamariki nonohi, ko te haora whakamutunga tenei: ka rite hoki ki ta koutou i rongo ai, e haere mai ana te anatikaraiti; na, kua tokomaha nei nga anatikaraiti; ma konei tatou ka matau ai ko te haora whakamutunga tenei.

19 I haere atu ratou i roto i a tatou, ehara ia i te mea no tatou ratou; mehemea hoki no tatou ratou, kua noho tonu ki a tatou: otiia kua haere atu ratou kia whakakitea ai ehara ratou katoa i a tatou.

20 Na he whakawahinga ano to koutou na te Mea Tapu; e matau ana ano hoki koutou ki nga mea katoa.

21 Ehara i te mea i tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou no te mea kahore koutou e matau ki te pono, engari no te mea e matau ana koutou, no te mea hoki kahore he teka i puta ake i te pono.

22 Ko wai koia te tangata teka? he teka ianei ko te tangata e mea ana, Ehara a Ihu i te Karaiti? Ko te anatikaraiti tenei, ko te tangata e whakakahore ana ki te Matua, ki te Tama.

23 Ko nga tangata katoa e whakakahore ana ki te Tama, kahore te Matua i a ratou: ko te tangata e whakaae ana ki te Tama, kei a ia ano hoki te Matua.

24 Na, kia mau ki roto ki a koutou ta koutou i rongo ai no te timatanga ra ano. Ki te mea ka mau i roto i a koutou ta koutou i rongo ai no te timatanga ra ano, e mau ano koutou i roto i te Tama, i roto ano hoki i te Matua.

25 Ko te mea ano hoki tenei i whakaaria mai nei e ia ki a tatou, ko te ora tonu.

26 I tuhituhia atu e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, mo te hunga e mea ana ki te whakapohehe i a koutou.

27 Otiia e mau ana ano i roto i a koutou tana whakawahinga kua riro na i a koutou: kahore hoki o koutou mea e whakaakona ai koutou e tetahi: ko tana whakawahinga ia e whakaako na i a koutou ki nga mea katoa, he pono tonu, kahore hoki he teka, kia r ite ra ki tana i whakaako ai i a koutou to koutou mau ki roto ki a ia.

28 Na inaianei, e nga tamariki nohinohi, kia mau ki roto ki a ia; kia whai maiatanga ai tatou ina puta mai ia, kei whakama hoki ki a ia ina tae mai ia.

29 Ki te matau koutou he tika ia, ka matau koutou he mea whanau nana nga tangata katoa e mea ana i te tika.

我的孩子們,我寫這些話給你們是為了叫你們不要犯罪。如果有人犯了罪,在父那裡我們有一位護慰者,就是那位義者——耶穌基督。 祂為我們的罪作了贖罪祭,不只是為我們的罪,也是為全人類的罪。

我們若遵行上帝的命令,就知道自己認識祂。 若有人說「我認識祂」,卻不遵行祂的命令,這人是說謊的,他心中沒有真理。 遵行主話語的人是真正全心愛上帝的人,我們藉此知道自己是在主裡面。 所以,自稱住在主裡面的,就該在生活中效法基督。

新命令

親愛的弟兄姊妹,我寫給你們的並不是一條新命令,而是你們起初接受的舊命令,這舊命令就是你們已經聽過的真道。 然而,我寫給你們的也是新命令,在基督和你們身上都顯明是真實的,因為黑暗漸漸過去,真光已經照耀出來。

若有人說自己在光明中,卻恨他的弟兄姊妹,他就仍然活在黑暗裡。 10 愛弟兄姊妹的人活在光明中,沒有什麼可以絆倒他[a] 11 恨弟兄姊妹的人活在黑暗中,走在黑暗中,不知何去何從,因為黑暗弄瞎了他的眼睛。

12 孩子們,我寫信給你們,因為靠著祂的名,你們的罪已經得到赦免。 13 父老們,我寫信給你們,因為你們認識了從太初就存在的那位。年輕人,我寫信給你們,因為你們已經戰勝了那惡者。

14 孩子們,我曾寫信給你們,因為你們認識了父。父老們,我曾寫信給你們,因為你們認識了從太初就存在的那位。年輕人,我曾寫信給你們,因為你們剛強,上帝的道常存在你們心裡,並且你們戰勝了那惡者。

15 不要愛世界和世上的事,因為人若愛世界,就不會再有愛父的心了。 16 凡屬世界的,如肉體的私慾、眼目的私慾和今生的驕傲都不是從父那裡來的,而是從世界來的。 17 這世界和其中一切的私慾都要過去,但遵守上帝旨意的人永遠長存。

防備敵基督者

18 孩子們,現在是末世了。你們從前聽說敵基督者要來,其實現在許多敵基督者已經出現了,由此可知,現在是末世了。 19 這些人是從我們中間出去的,但他們不屬於我們。他們如果屬於我們,就會留在我們當中了。他們的離去表明他們都不屬於我們。

20 你們從那位聖者領受了聖靈[b],所以你們明白真理。 21 我寫信給你們不是因為你們不明白真理,而是因為你們明白真理,並且知道真理裡面絕對沒有謊言。 22 誰是說謊的呢?不就是那否認耶穌是基督的嗎?那不承認父和子的就是敵基督者。 23 凡否認子的,也否認了父;凡承認子的,也承認了父。

24 你們務要把起初所聽見的教導謹記在心,這樣,你們必住在子和父裡面。 25 主應許給我們的是永生。 26 以上的話是針對那些引誘你們離開正道的人寫的。

順從聖靈

27 你們既然從主領受了聖靈,聖靈又住在你們心中,就不需要其他人來教導你們,因為聖靈必會在一切事上指引你們。聖靈的教導是真實的,沒有虛假,你們要按聖靈的教導住在主裡面。 28 孩子們,你們要住在主裡面。這樣,當主顯現的時候,就是祂再來的時候,我們便能坦然無懼,不會在祂面前羞愧。 29 既然你們知道主是公義的,也該知道所有按公義行事的人都是上帝的兒女。

Footnotes

  1. 2·10 沒有什麼可以絆倒他」或譯「他也不會絆倒別人」。
  2. 2·20 聖靈」希臘文指「膏抹」。

My dear children,(A) I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate(B) with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,(C) and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.(D)

Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers

We know(E) that we have come to know him(F) if we keep his commands.(G) Whoever says, “I know him,”(H) but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.(I) But if anyone obeys his word,(J) love for God[a] is truly made complete in them.(K) This is how we know(L) we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.(M)

Dear friends,(N) I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning.(O) This old command is the message you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new command;(P) its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing(Q) and the true light(R) is already shining.(S)

Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[b](T) is still in the darkness.(U) 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister[c] lives in the light,(V) and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.(W) 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister(X) is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness.(Y) They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.(Z)

Reasons for Writing

12 I am writing to you, dear children,(AA)
    because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.(AB)
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
    because you know him who is from the beginning.(AC)
I am writing to you, young men,
    because you have overcome(AD) the evil one.(AE)

14 I write to you, dear children,(AF)
    because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
    because you know him who is from the beginning.(AG)
I write to you, young men,
    because you are strong,(AH)
    and the word of God(AI) lives in you,(AJ)
    and you have overcome the evil one.(AK)

On Not Loving the World

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world.(AL) If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them.(AM) 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh,(AN) the lust of the eyes,(AO) and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away,(AP) but whoever does the will of God(AQ) lives forever.

Warnings Against Denying the Son

18 Dear children, this is the last hour;(AR) and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming,(AS) even now many antichrists have come.(AT) This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us,(AU) but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.(AV)

20 But you have an anointing(AW) from the Holy One,(AX) and all of you know the truth.[e](AY) 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it(AZ) and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.(BA) 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(BB)

24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning(BC) remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.(BD) 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.(BE)

26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.(BF) 27 As for you, the anointing(BG) you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things(BH) and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.(BI)

God’s Children and Sin

28 And now, dear children,(BJ) continue in him, so that when he appears(BK) we may be confident(BL) and unashamed before him at his coming.(BM)

29 If you know that he is righteous,(BN) you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.(BO)
