约翰一书 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
3 你们看，父赐给我们的是怎样的爱，就是让我们可以称为 神的儿女，我们也真是他的儿女。因此，世人不认识我们，是因为他们不认识父。 2 亲爱的，现在我们是 神的儿女，将来怎样，还没有显明；然而我们知道：主若显现，我们必要像他，因为我们必要看见他本来是怎样的。 3 凡对他存着这盼望的，就洁净自己，像他一样的洁净。
4 凡是犯罪的，就是作了不法的事；罪就是不法。 5 你们知道主曾经显现，为要除掉罪，他自己却没有罪。 6 凡是住在他里面的，就不犯罪；凡犯罪的，是未曾见过他，也不认识他。 7 孩子们，不要受人欺骗，行义的才是义人，正如主是公义的。 8 犯罪的是出于魔鬼，因为魔鬼从起初就犯罪。因此， 神的儿子显现了，是要除灭魔鬼的作为。 9 凡是从 神生的，就不犯罪，因为 神的生命（“ 神的生命”原文作“种子”）在他里面；他也不能犯罪，因为他是从 神生的。 10 这样，谁是 神的儿女，谁是魔鬼的儿女，就很明显了。凡不行义的，就不是出于 神，不爱弟兄的，也是这样。
应当彼此相爱
11 我们应当彼此相爱，因为这是你们从起初听见的信息。 12 不要像该隐，他是属于那恶者的，他又杀了自己的弟弟。为甚么杀他呢？因为他自己的行为是恶的，弟弟的行为是义的。 13 弟兄们，世人若恨你们，不要希奇。 14 我们因为爱弟兄，就知道我们已经出死入生了；不爱弟兄的，仍然住在死中。 15 凡恨弟兄的，就是杀人的。你们知道，杀人的在他里面没有永生。 16 主为我们舍命，这样，我们就知道甚么是爱；我们也应当为弟兄舍命。 17 凡有世上财物的，看见弟兄穷乏，却硬着心肠不理，他怎能说他心里有 神的爱呢？ 18 孩子们，我们爱人，不要只在言语和舌头上，总要在行动和真诚上表现出来。
在 神面前可以坦然无惧
19-20 这样，我们就知道我们是属于真理的。即使我们的心责备我们，在 神面前我们也可以心安理得，因为他比我们的心大，他知道一切。 21 亲爱的，我们的心若不责备我们，在 神面前我们就可以坦然无惧了。 22 凡我们所求的，就必从他得着，因为我们遵守他的命令，作他所喜悦的事。 23 神的命令，就是要我们信他的儿子耶稣基督的名，并且照着他的吩咐彼此相爱。 24 凡是遵守 神命令的，就住在 神里面， 神也住在他里面。凭着 神所赐给我们的圣灵，我们就可以知道 神住在我们里面。
1 John 3
New Living Translation
3 See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him. 2 Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. 3 And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.
4 Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God. 5 And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. 6 Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.
7 Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. 8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life[a] is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. 10 So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers[b] does not belong to God.
Love One Another
11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous. 13 So don’t be surprised, dear brothers and sisters,[c] if the world hates you.
14 If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers,[d] it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead. 15 Anyone who hates another brother or sister[e] is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them.
16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister[f] in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. 19 Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. 20 Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. 22 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.
23 And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
1 John 3
Authorized (King James) Version
3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
