1 Видите какву нам је љубав дао Отац, да се деца Божија назовемо и будемо; зато свет не познаје нас, јер Њега не позна.
1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
2 Љубазни! Сад смо деца Божија, и још се не показа шта ћемо бити; него знамо да кад се покаже, бићемо као и Он, јер ћемо Га видети као што јесте.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
3 И сваки који ову наду има на Њега, чисти се, као и Он што је чист.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Сваки који чини грех и безакоње чини: и грех је безакоње.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 И знате да се Он јави да грехе наше узме; и греха у Њему нема.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
6 Који год у Њему стоји не греши; који год греши не виде Га нити Га позна.
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
7 Дечице! Нико да вас не вара: који правду твори праведник је, као што је Он праведан;
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 који твори грех од ђавола је, јер ђаво греши од почетка. Зато се јави Син Божји да раскопа дела ђавоља.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Који је год рођен од Бога не чини греха, јер Његово семе стоји у њему, и не може грешити, јер је рођен од Бога.
9 Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
10 По томе се познају деца Божија и деца ђавоља: који год не твори правде, није од Бога, и који не љуби брата свог.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
11 Јер је ово заповест, коју чусте испочетка, да љубимо један другог.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
12 Не као што Каин беше од нечастивог и закла брата свог. И за који га узрок закла? Јер дела његова беху зла, а брата му праведна.
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Не чудите се, браћо моја, ако свет мрзи на вас.
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
14 Ми знамо да пређосмо из смрти у живот, јер љубимо браћу; јер ко не љуби брата остаје у смрти.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.
15 Сваки који мрзи на брата свог крвник је људски; и знате да ниједан крвник људски нема у себи вечни живот.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
16 По том познасмо љубав што Он за нас душу своју положи: ми смо дужни полагати душе за браћу.
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17 Који дакле има богатство овог света, и види брата свог у невољи и затвори срце своје од њега, како љубав Божија стоји у њему?
17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
18 Дечице моја! Да се не љубимо речју ни језиком, него делом и истином.
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
19 И по том дознајемо да смо од истине, и пред Њим тешимо срца своја.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
20 Јер ако нам зазире срце наше, Бог је већи од срца нашег и зна све.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Љубазни! Ако нам срце наше не зазире, слободу имамо пред Богом;
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
22 и шта год заиштемо, примићемо од Њега, јер заповести Његове држимо и чинимо шта је Њему угодно.
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 И ово је заповест Његова да верујемо у име Сина Његовог Исуса Христа, и да љубимо један другог као што нам је дао заповест.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
24 И који држи заповести Његове у Њему стоји, и Он у њему. И по том познајемо да стоји у нама, по Духу кога нам је дао.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

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).
Hear intently, I do beseech you, because it is no small matter that we have to cope withal: and I doubt not, because ye were intent upon it yesterday, that ye have with even greater intentness of purpose come together to-day.

The devil then is the first author of sin, and the father of the wicked: and this is the Lord's saying, not mine, that the devil sinneth from the beginning: none sinned before him.
