1 John 4
1Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ παντὶ πνεύματι πιστεύετε, ἀλλὰ δοκιμάζετε τὰ πνεύματα, εἰ ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ ἐστιν, ὅτι πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐξεληλύθασιν εἰς τὸν κόσμον. 2Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκετε τὸ ° Πνεῦμα τοῦ ° Θεοῦ: πᾶν πνεῦμα ὃ ὁμολογεῖ ° Ἰησοῦν ° Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθότα, ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ ἐστιν, 3καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα ὃ μὴ ὁμολογεῖ τὸν ° Ἰησοῦν, ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν. Καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ τοῦ ἀντιχρίστου, ὃ ἀκηκόατε ὅτι ἔρχεται, καὶ νῦν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἐστὶν ἤδη. 4Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ ἐστε, τεκνία, καὶ νενικήκατε αὐτούς, ὅτι μείζων ἐστὶν ὁ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἢ ὁ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ. 5Αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου εἰσίν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου λαλοῦσιν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος αὐτῶν ἀκούει. 6Ἡμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ ἐσμεν. Ὁ γινώσκων τὸν ° Θεὸν, ἀκούει ἡμῶν, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ, οὐκ ἀκούει ἡμῶν. Ἐκ τούτου γινώσκομεν τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς πλάνης. 7Ἀγαπητοί, ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, ὅτι ἡ ἀγάπη ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ ἐστιν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν, ἐκ τοῦ ° Θεοῦ γεγέννηται, καὶ γινώσκει τὸν ° Θεόν. 8Ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν, οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν ° Θεόν, ὅτι ὁ ° Θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν. 9Ἐν τούτῳ ἐφανερώθη ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ ° Θεοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, τὸν μονογενῆ, ἀπέσταλκεν ὁ ° Θεὸς εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ἵνα ζήσωμεν διʼ αὐτοῦ. 10Ἐν τούτῳ ἐστὶν ἡ ἀγάπη, οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήκαμεν τὸν ° Θεόν, ἀλλʼ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ἱλασμὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν. 11Ἀγαπητοί, εἰ οὕτως ὁ ° Θεὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν. 12° Θεὸν οὐδεὶς πώποτε τεθέαται, ἐὰν ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, ὁ ° Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν μένει, καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη αὐτοῦ τετελειωμένη ἐν ἡμῖν ἐστίν. 13Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν, ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ° Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν. 14Καὶ ἡμεῖς τεθεάμεθα καὶ μαρτυροῦμεν ὅτι ὁ Πατὴρ ἀπέσταλκεν τὸν Υἱὸν, Σωτῆρα τοῦ κόσμου. 15Ὃς ἂν ὁμολογήσῃ ὅτι ° Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ° Θεοῦ, ὁ ° Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ ° Θεῷ. 16Καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐγνώκαμεν καὶ πεπιστεύκαμεν τὴν ἀγάπην ἣν ἔχει ὁ ° Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν. Ὁ ° Θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν, καὶ ὁ μένων ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ, ἐν τῷ ° Θεῷ μένει, καὶ ὁ ° Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει. 17Ἐν τούτῳ τετελείωται ἡ ἀγάπη μεθʼ ἡμῶν, ἵνα παρρησίαν ἔχωμεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς κρίσεως, ὅτι καθὼς ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ. 18Φόβος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ, ἀλλʼ ἡ τελεία ἀγάπη ἔξω βάλλει τὸν φόβον, ὅτι ὁ φόβος κόλασιν ἔχει, ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος, οὐ τετελείωται ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ. 19Ἡμεῖς ἀγαπῶμεν, ὅτι αὐτὸς πρῶτος ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς. 20Ἐάν τις εἴπῃ, ὅτι “Ἀγαπῶ τὸν ° Θεόν”, καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ μισῇ, ψεύστης ἐστίν· ὁ γὰρ μὴ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἑώρακεν, τὸν ° Θεὸν, ὃν οὐχ ἑώρακεν, οὐ δύναται ἀγαπᾶν. 21Καὶ ταύτην τὴν ἐντολὴν ἔχομεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ° Θεὸν, ἀγαπᾷ καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ.
