4 Dear friends agapētos, do pisteuō not mē believe pisteuō every pas spirit pneuma, but alla test dokimazō the ho spirits pneuma to find out whether ei they are eimi from ek · ho God theos, because hoti many polys false prophets pseudoprophētēs have gone out exerchomai into eis the ho world kosmos. ² This is how en you can recognize ginōskō the ho Spirit pneuma of ho God theos: every pas spirit pneuma that hos confesses homologeō that Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos has come erchomai in en the flesh sarx is eimi from ek · ho God theos, ³ but kai every pas spirit pneuma that hos does not mē confess homologeō · ho Jesus Iēsous is eimi not ou from ek · ho God theos. · kai This houtos is eimi the ho spirit of the ho Antichrist antichristos, which hos you heard akouō was coming erchomai, and kai now nyn is eimi already ēdē in en the ho world kosmos. ⁴ Little children teknion, you hymeis have been born eimi of ek · ho God theos and kai have overcome nikaō them autos, because hoti the ho one who is in en you hymeis is eimi greater megas than ē the ho one who is in en the ho world kosmos. ⁵ They autos are eimi of ek the ho world kosmos; therefore dia houtos they speak laleō from ek the ho world’ s kosmos perspective and kai the ho world kosmos listens to akouō them autos. ⁶ We hēmeis are eimi from ek · ho God theos. The ho person who knows ginōskō · ho God theos listens akouō to us hēmeis, but whoever hos is eimi not ou from ek · ho God theos does not ou listen akouō to us hēmeis. By ek this houtos we know ginōskō the ho Spirit pneuma of ho truth alētheia and kai the ho spirit pneuma of ho error planē.

⁷ Dear friends agapētos, let us love agapaō one another allēlōn, because hoti · ho love agapē is eimi from ek · ho God theos, and kai everyone pas who ho loves agapaō has been born gennaō of ek · ho God theos and kai knows ginōskō · ho God theos. ⁸ The ho person who does not mē love agapaō does not ou know ginōskō · ho God theos, because hoti · ho God theos is eimi love agapē. ⁹ By en this houtos the ho love agapē of ho God theos is revealed phaneroō to en us hēmeis: that hoti God theos has sent apostellō · ho his autos one and only monogenēs Son hyios · ho · ho into eis the ho world kosmos so that hina we might live zaō through dia him autos. ¹⁰ In en this houtos is eimi · ho love agapē, not ou that hoti we hēmeis have loved agapaō · ho God theos but alla that hoti he autos loved agapaō us hēmeis and kai sent apostellō · ho his autos Son hyios as a propitiation hilasmos for peri · ho our hēmeis sins hamartia. ¹¹ Dear friends agapētos, if ei God theos loved agapaō us hēmeis like that houtōs, · ho we hēmeis also kai ought opheilō to love agapaō one another allēlōn. ¹² No one oudeis has ever pōpote seen theaomai God theos. If ean we love agapaō one another allēlōn, · ho God theos abides menō in en us hēmeis, and kai · ho his autos love agapē has eimi achieved its goal teleioō in en us hēmeis.

¹³ By en this houtos we know ginōskō that hoti we abide menō in en God autos and kai he autos in en us hēmeis: because hoti he has given didōmi us hēmeis of ek · ho his autos Spirit pneuma. ¹⁴ And kai we hēmeis have seen theaomai and kai testify martyreō that hoti the ho Father patēr has sent apostellō his ho Son hyios as the Savior sōtēr of the ho world kosmos. ¹⁵ If ean anyone hos confesses homologeō that hoti Jesus Iēsous is eimi the ho Son hyios of ho God theos, · ho God theos abides menō in en him autos and kai he autos in en · ho God theos. ¹⁶ And kai we hēmeis have come to know ginōskō and kai to trust pisteuō the ho love agapē that hos God theos has echō · ho for en us hēmeis. · ho God theos is eimi love agapē, and kai the ho one who abides menō in en · ho love agapē abides menō in en · ho God theos, and kai · ho God theos abides menō in en him autos. ¹⁷ By en this houtos, love agapē is fully realized teleioō · ho among meta us hēmeis, so that hina we may have echō confidence parrēsia in en the ho day hēmera of ho judgment krisis; because hoti just as kathōs he ekeinos is eimi, so also kai are eimi we hēmeis in en · ho this houtos world kosmos. ¹⁸ There is eimi no ou fear phobos in en · ho love agapē, but alla · ho perfect teleios love agapē drives ballō out exō · ho fear phobos because hoti · ho fear phobos has to do with echō punishment kolasis. So de the ho one who fears phobeomai has not ou been perfected teleioō in en · ho love agapē. ¹⁹ We hēmeis love agapaō because hoti he autos first prōtos loved agapaō us hēmeis. ²⁰ If ean someone tis says legō, “ I love agapaō · ho God theos,” yet kai hates miseō · ho his autos brother adelphos, he is eimi a liar pseustēs; for gar the ho one who does not mē love agapaō · ho his autos brother adelphos whom hos he has seen horaō, cannot ou love agapaō · ho God theos whom hos he has not ou seen horaō. ²¹ And kai the ho commandment entolē we have echō from apo him autos is this houtos: the ho one who loves agapaō · ho God theos must also kai love agapaō · ho his autos brother adelphos.

¹¹ As they autos were listening akouō to · de this houtos, he went prostithēmi on to tell legō a parable parabolē, because dia · ho he autos was eimi near engys Jerusalem Ierousalēm, and kai they autos supposed dokeō that hoti the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos was going mellō to appear anaphainō at once parachrēma. ¹² So oun he said legō, “A certain tis man anthrōpos of noble birth eugenēs went poreuō to eis a distant makros country chōra to acquire lambanō royal power basileia for himself heautou and kai then to return hypostrephō. ¹³ So de, calling kaleō ten deka of his heautou servants, he gave didōmi them autos ten deka minas mna, and kai said legō to pros them autos, ‘ Conduct pragmateuomai business until en hos I return erchomai.’ ¹⁴ · ho But de his autos citizens politēs hated miseō him autos and kai sent apostellō a delegation presbeia after opisō him autos, saying legō, ‘ We do not ou want thelō this houtos person to rule basileuō over epi us hēmeis.’ ¹⁵ · kai When en · ho he autos returned epanerchomai, having acquired lambanō · ho royal basileia power , · kai he ordered legō these houtos servants to whom hos he had given didōmi the ho money argyrion to be called phōneō to him autos, · ho that hina he might know ginōskō what tis they had gained diapragmateuomai by doing business . ¹⁶ The ho first prōtos came paraginomai before · de him, saying legō, ‘ Master kyrios, · ho your sy mina mna has gained prosergazomai ten deka minas mna.’ ¹⁷ And kai he said legō to him autos, ‘ Well euge done , good agathos servant! Because hoti you have been ginomai trustworthy pistos in en a very small elachistos matter , you will eimi have echō authority exousia over epanō ten deka cities polis.’ ¹⁸ And kai the ho second deuteros came erchomai, saying legō, · ho ‘ Your sy mina mna, Master kyrios, has gained poieō five pente minas mna.’ ¹⁹ So de he said legō to this one houtos as well kai, ‘ And kai you sy, rule ginomai over epanō five pente cities polis.’ ²⁰ Then kai the ho other heteros came erchomai, saying legō, ‘ Master kyrios, look idou, · ho your sy mina mna that hos I kept echō laid apokeimai away in en a piece soudarion of cloth , ²¹ for gar I was afraid phobeomai of you sy, because hoti you are eimi an exacting austēros man anthrōpos: you take airō up what hos you did not ou lay tithēmi down , and kai reap therizō what hos you did not ou sow speirō.’ ²² He said legō to him autos, ‘ Out ek of ho your own sy mouth stoma I will judge krinō you sy, wicked ponēros servant. You knew oida, did you, that hoti I egō am eimi an exacting austēros man anthrōpos, taking airō up what hos I did not ou lay tithēmi down and kai reaping therizō what hos I did not ou sow speirō? ²³ Why dia then kai did you not ou put didōmi my egō · ho money argyrion in epi the bank trapeza?
