1 Ljubazni! Ne verujte svakom duhu, nego kušajte duhove jesu li od Boga; jer mnogi lažni proroci iziđoše na svet.
1 Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 Po ovom poznajte Duha Božijeg, i duha lažnog; svaki duh koji priznaje da je Isus Hristos u telu došao, od Boga je;
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3 a svaki duh koji ne priznaje da je Isus Hristos u telu došao, nije od Boga: i ovaj je antihristov, za kog čuste da će doći, i sad je već na svetu.
3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
4 Vi ste od Boga, dečice, i nadvladaste ih, jer je veći koji je u vama negoli koji je na svetu.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
5 Oni su od sveta, zato govore od sveta, i svet ih sluša.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
6 Mi smo od Boga; koji poznaje Boga sluša nas, a koji nije od Boga ne sluša nas. Po ovom poznajemo duha istine i duha prevare.
6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Ljubazni! Da ljubimo jedan drugog; jer je ljubav od Boga, i svaki koji ima ljubav od Boga je rođen, i poznaje Boga.
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 A koji nema ljubavi ne pozna Boga; jer je Bog ljubav.
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
9 Po tom se pokaza ljubav Božija k nama što Bog Sina svog Jedinorodnog posla na svet da živimo kroza Nj.
9 By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.
10 U ovom je ljubav ne da mi pokazasmo ljubav k Bogu, nego da On pokaza ljubav k nama, i posla Sina svog da očisti grehe naše.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Ljubazni! Kad je ovako Bog pokazao ljubav k nama, i mi smo dužni ljubiti jedan drugog.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
12 Boga niko ne vide nikad: ako imamo ljubav među sobom, Bog u nama stoji, i ljubav je Njegova savršena u nama.
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
13 Po tom doznajemo da u Njemu stojimo, i On u nama, što nam je dao od Duha svog.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14 I mi videsmo i svedočimo da Otac posla Sina da se spase svet.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
15 Koji prizna da je Isus Sin Božji, Bog u njemu stoji i on u Bogu.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
16 I mi poznasmo i verovasmo ljubav koju Bog ima k nama. Bog je ljubav, i koji stoji u ljubavi, u Bogu stoji i Bog u njemu stoji.
16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
17 Tim se ljubav u nama savršuje da imamo slobodu na dan sudni; jer kao što je On i mi smo na svetu ovom.
17 In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.
18 U ljubavi nema straha, nego savršena ljubav izgoni strah napolje; jer strah ima muku. A ko se boji nije savršen u ljubavi.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 Da imamo mi ljubav k Njemu, jer On najpre pokaza ljubav k nama.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 Ako ko reče: Ja ljubim Boga, a mrzi na brata svog, laža je; jer koji ne ljubi brata svog, koga vidi, kako može ljubiti Boga, koga ne vidi?
20 If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
21 I ovu zapovest imamo od Njega: Koji ljubi Boga da ljubi i brata svog.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
So is this world to all the faithful seeking their own country, as was the desert to the people Israel. They wandered indeed as yet, and were seeking their own country: but with God for their guide they could not wander astray. Their way was God's bidding.

"For whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is antichrist;" and whosoever does not confess the testimony of the cross, is of the devil; and whosoever perverts the oracles of the Lord to his own lusts, and says that there is neither a resurrection nor a judgment, he is the first-born of Satan.
For that fear of which the Apostle John says, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love," --that fear is not of the same kind as the Apostle Paul felt lest the Corinthians should be seduced by the subtlety of the serpent; for …

… to the soldiers, fear not, but to you; as for them, let them be afraid, that, taught by experience, they may bear witness and say, Truly this was the Son of God; but you ought not to be afraid, for perfect love casteth out fear.

They fear God, indeed, but it is with that servile fear "which is not in love; for perfect love casteth out fear." Therefore to them that hope in Him He perfecteth His sweetness, inspiring them with His own love, so that with a holy fear, which love does not cast out, but which endureth for ever, they may, when they …
