约翰一书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
称为神的儿女是蒙父何等慈爱
3 你看父赐给我们是何等的慈爱，使我们得称为神的儿女，我们也真是他的儿女！世人所以不认识我们，是因未曾认识他。 2 亲爱的弟兄啊，我们现在是神的儿女，将来如何，还未显明。但我们知道，主若显现，我们必要像他，因为必得见他的真体。 3 凡向他有这指望的，就洁净自己，像他洁净一样。 4 凡犯罪的，就是违背律法，违背律法就是罪。 5 你们知道，主曾显现是要除掉人的罪，在他并没有罪。 6 凡住在他里面的，就不犯罪；凡犯罪的，是未曾看见他，也未曾认识他。
神的儿子要除灭魔鬼所行的事
7 小子们哪，不要被人诱惑。行义的才是义人，正如主是义的一样。 8 犯罪的是属魔鬼，因为魔鬼从起初就犯罪。神的儿子显现出来，为要除灭魔鬼的作为。 9 凡从神生的，就不犯罪，因神的道[a]存在他心里；他也不能犯罪，因为他是由神生的。 10 从此，就显出谁是神的儿女，谁是魔鬼的儿女。凡不行义的就不属神，不爱弟兄的也是如此。 11 我们应当彼此相爱，这就是你们从起初所听见的命令。 12 不可像该隐，他是属那恶者，杀了他的兄弟。为什么杀了他呢？因自己的行为是恶的，兄弟的行为是善的。
没有爱心的就住在死中
13 弟兄们，世人若恨你们，不要以为稀奇。 14 我们因为爱弟兄，就晓得是已经出死入生了。没有爱心的，仍住在死中。 15 凡恨他弟兄的，就是杀人的；你们晓得，凡杀人的，没有永生存在他里面。 16 主为我们舍命，我们从此就知道何为爱，我们也当为弟兄舍命。 17 凡有世上财物的，看见弟兄穷乏，却塞住怜恤的心，爱神的心怎能存在他里面呢？ 18 小子们哪，我们相爱，不要只在言语和舌头上，总要在行为和诚实上。 19 从此，就知道我们是属真理的，并且我们的心在神面前可以安稳。 20 我们的心若责备我们，神比我们的心大，一切事没有不知道的。
心若不自责就可以向神坦然无惧
21 亲爱的弟兄啊，我们的心若不责备我们，就可以向神坦然无惧了。 22 并且我们一切所求的就从他得着，因为我们遵守他的命令，行他所喜悦的事。 23 神的命令就是叫我们信他儿子耶稣基督的名，且照他所赐给我们的命令彼此相爱。 24 遵守神命令的，就住在神里面，神也住在他里面。我们所以知道神住在我们里面，是因他所赐给我们的圣灵。

Ang mga Anak ng Diyos
3 Tingnan(A) ninyo kung gaano kalaki ang pag-ibig sa atin ng Ama! Tinatawag tayong mga anak ng Diyos, at iyon nga ang totoo. Ang dahilan kung bakit hindi tayo nakikilala ng mga makasanlibutan ay hindi nila kinikilala ang Diyos. 2 Mga minamahal, mga anak na tayo ng Diyos ngayon, ngunit hindi pa nahahayag ang magiging kalagayan natin. Ngunit alam nating sa pagdating ni Cristo, tayo'y magiging katulad niya, sapagkat makikita natin kung sino talaga siya. 3 Kaya't ang sinumang may ganitong pag-asa kay Cristo ay nagsisikap na maging malinis tulad niyang malinis.
4 Ang bawat nagkakasala ay lumalabag sa kautusan ng Diyos, sapagkat ang kasalanan ay paglabag sa kautusan. 5 Nalalaman(B) ninyong naparito si Cristo upang pawiin ang ating mga kasalanan, at siya'y walang kasalanan. 6 Ang nananatili sa kanya ay hindi nagpapatuloy sa pagkakasala. Ang sinumang nagpapatuloy sa pagkakasala ay hindi nakakita ni nakakilala man sa kanya.
7 Mga anak, huwag kayong palinlang kaninuman! Ang sinumang gumagawa ng matuwid ay matuwid tulad ni Cristo. 8 Ang nagpapatuloy sa pagkakasala ay kampon ng diyablo, sapagkat sa simula pa'y nagkakasala na ang diyablo. Kaya't naparito ang Anak ng Diyos upang wasakin ang mga gawa ng diyablo.
9 Ang mga anak ng Diyos ay hindi nagpapatuloy sa pagkakasala, sapagkat nananatili sa kanila ang binhing mula sa Diyos. At dahil ang Diyos ang ama nila, hindi sila maaaring magpatuloy sa pagkakasala. 10 Dito natin makikilala kung sino ang mga anak ng Diyos at kung sino ang mga anak ng diyablo: ang sinumang hindi gumagawa ng ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos at hindi umiibig sa kanyang kapatid ay hindi anak ng Diyos.
Magmahalan Tayo
11 Ito(C) ang mensaheng narinig na ninyo sa simula pa: magmahalan tayo. 12 Huwag(D) tayong tumulad kay Cain na kampon ng diyablo. Pinaslang niya ang kanyang kapatid. Bakit? Sapagkat masama ang kanyang mga gawa, ngunit matuwid ang mga gawa ng kanyang kapatid.
13 Kaya, mga kapatid, huwag kayong magtaka kung kinapopootan kayo ng sanlibutan. 14 Nalalaman(E) nating lumipat na tayo sa buhay mula sa kamatayan, sapagkat iniibig natin ang mga kapatid. Ang hindi umiibig ay nananatili sa kamatayan. 15 Mamamatay-tao ang napopoot sa kanyang kapatid, at nalalaman ninyong ang buhay na walang hanggan ay wala sa mamamatay-tao. 16 Dito natin nalalaman ang pag-ibig: inialay ni Cristo ang kanyang buhay para sa atin. Kaya't dapat din nating ialay ang ating buhay para sa mga kapatid. 17 Kapag nakita ng isang maykaya sa buhay ang kanyang kapatid na nangangailangan, at pinagkaitan niya ito ng tulong, masasabi bang siya'y umiibig sa Diyos? 18 Mga anak, huwag tayong magmahal sa pamamagitan ng salita lamang, kundi patunayan natin ito sa pamamagitan ng gawa.
Panatag na Kalooban at Pananatili sa Diyos
19 Dito nga natin matitiyak na tayo'y nasa panig ng katotohanan, at matatahimik ang ating budhi sa harapan ng Diyos 20 sakali mang tayo'y usigin nito. Sapagkat ang Diyos ay higit sa ating budhi, at alam niya ang lahat ng bagay. 21 Mga minamahal, kung hindi tayo inuusig ng ating budhi, makakalapit tayo sa Diyos na panatag ang ating kalooban. 22 Tinatanggap natin ang anumang ating hilingin sa kanya dahil sinusunod natin ang kanyang mga utos at ginagawa ang nakalulugod sa kanya. 23 Ito(F) ang kanyang utos: sumampalataya tayo sa kanyang Anak na si Jesu-Cristo, at magmahalan tayo gaya ng iniutos ni Cristo sa atin. 24 Ang sumusunod sa mga utos ng Diyos ay nananatili sa Diyos, at nananatili naman sa kanya ang Diyos. At nalalaman nating nananatili siya sa atin sa pamamagitan ng Espiritung ipinagkaloob niya sa atin.

Lexham English Bible
3 See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called children of God, and we are! Because of this the world does not know us: because it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever he is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that one is pure.
4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that that one was revealed in order that he might take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 Everyone who resides in him does not sin. Everyone who sins has neither seen him nor known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed: in order to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Everyone who is fathered by God does not practice sin, because his seed resides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are evident: everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, namely, the one who does not love his brother.
God is Love, so Love One Another
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another, 12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one and violently murdered his brother. And for what reason[a] did he violently murder him? Because his deeds were evil and the deeds of his brother were righteous.
13 Do not marvel,[b] brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed over from death to life because we love the brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have eternal life residing in him. 16 We have come to know love by this: that he[c] laid down his life on behalf of us, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers. 17 But whoever has the world’s material possessions and observes his brother in need[d] and shuts his heart against him, how does the love of God reside in him?
18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. 19 By this[e] we know that we are of the truth and will convince our heart before him, 20 that[f] if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart and knows all things. 21 Dear friends, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God, 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing in his sight[g]. 23 And this is his commandment: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded us[h]. 24 And the one who keeps his commandments resides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he resides in us: by the Spirit whom he has given to us.

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.
