| [1]Se ye what maner charite the fadir yaf to vs, that we be named the sones of God, and ben hise sones. For this thing the world knewe not vs, for it knew not hym. |
[1]And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known him. |
| [2]Moost dere britheren, now we ben the sones of God, and yit it apperide not, what we schulen be. We witen, that whanne he schal appere, we schulen be lijk hym, for we schulen se hym as he is. |
[2]MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is. |
| [3]And ech man that hath this hope in hym, makith hym silf hooli, as he is hooli. |
[3]And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure. |
| [4]Ech man that doith synne, doith also wickidnesse, and synne is wickidnesse. |
[4]But whoever committeth sin doeth iniquity; for all sin is iniquity. |
| [5]And ye witen, that he apperide to do awei synnes, and synne is not in hym. |
[5]And you know that he was manifested to bear our sins, and sin in him is not. |
| [6]Ech man that dwellith in hym, synneth not; and ech that synneth, seeth not hym, nether knew hym. |
[6]And every one who in him abideth, sinneth not. And every one who sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him. |
| [7]Litle sones, no man disseyue you; he that doith riytwysnesse, is iust, as also he is iust. |
[7]My sons, let no man deceive you: he who worketh righteousness is righteous, as also the Meshiha himself is righteous. |
| [8]He that doith synne, is of the deuel; for the deuel synneth fro the bigynnyng. In this thing the sone of God apperide, that he vndo the werkis of the deuel. |
[8]And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana. |
| [9]Ech man that is borun of God, doith not synne; for the seed of God dwellith in hym, and he may not do synne, for he is borun of God. |
[9]Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born. |
| [10]In this thing the sones of God ben knowun, and the sones of the feend. Ech man that is not iust, is not of God, and he that loueth not his brothir. |
[10]In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha. |
| [11]For this is the tellyng, that ye herden at the bigynnyng, that ye loue ech othere; |
[11]For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love one another. |
| [12]not as Caym, that was of the yuele, and slouy his brother. And for what thing slouy he him? for hise werkis weren yuele, and hise brotheris iust. |
[12]Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. |
| [13]Britheren, nyle ye wondre, if the world hatith you. |
[13]Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world hate you. |
| [14]We witen, that we ben translatid fro deeth to lijf, for we louen britheren. He that loueth not, dwellith in deth. |
[14]We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth. |
| [15]Ech man that hatith his brother, is a man sleere; and ye witen, that ech mansleere hath not euerlastinge lijf dwellinge in hym. |
[15]For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal. |
| [16]In this thing we han knowe the charite of God, for he puttide his lijf for vs, and we owen to putte oure lyues for oure britheren. |
[16]In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; [so] also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves. |
| [17]He that hath the catel of this world, and seeth that his brothir hath nede, and closith his entrailis fro hym, hou dwellith the charite of God in hym? |
[17]And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha? |
| [18]Mi litle sones, loue we not in word, nethir in tunge, but in werk and treuthe. |
[18]My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth. |
| [19]In this thing we knowen, that we ben of treuthe, and in his siyt we monesten oure hertis. |
[19]And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts. |
| [20]For if oure herte repreueth vs, God is more than oure hert, and knowith alle thingis. |
[20]And if our heart condemn us, how much [more] Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing! |
| [21]Moost dere britheren, if oure herte repreueth not vs, we han trust to God; |
[21]My beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have openness of face before Aloha. |
| [22]and what euer we schulen axe, we schulen resseyue of hym, for we kepen hise comaundementis, and we don tho thingis that ben plesaunt bifor hym. |
[22]And whatever we ask, we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are beautifulⓘ before him. |
| [23]And this is the comaundement of God, that we bileue in the name of his sone Jhesu Crist, and that we loue ech othere, as he yaf heeste to vs. |
[23]And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us. |
| [24]And he that kepith hise comaundementis, dwellith in hym, and he in hym. And in this thing we witen, that he dwellith in vs, bi the spirit, whom he yaf to vs. |
[24]And he who keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we perceive that he dwelleth in us, by his Spirit whomⓘ he hath given to us. |
