WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Dear friends, don't trust every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to find out whether they're from God, for there are many false prophets out there in the world.
1 AMADOS, no creáis á todo espíritu, sino probad los espíritus si son de Dios: porque muchos falsos profetas son salidos en el mundo.
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 How can you recognize God's Spirit? Every spirit that accepts Jesus Christ came with a human body is from God;
2 En esto conoced el Espíritu de Dios: todo espíritu que confiesa que Jesucristo es venido en carne es de Dios:
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 while every spirit that doesn't accept Jesus, that spirit isn't from God. In fact it is the spirit of the antichrist which you heard was coming, and which is already in the world.
3 Y todo espíritu que no confiesa que Jesucristo es venido en carne, no es de Dios: y éste es el [espíritu] del anticristo, del cual vosotros habéis oído que ha de venir, y que ahora ya está en el mundo.
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 But you belong to God, my friends, and you have defeated them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
4 Hijitos, vosotros sois de Dios, y los habéis vencido; porque el que en vosotros está, es mayor que el que está en el mundo.
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 They belong to the world, so they speak like people of the world, and the world listens to them.
5 Ellos son del mundo; por eso hablan del mundo, y el mundo los oye.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
6 We belong to God and whoever knows God listens to us, while whoever doesn't belong to God doesn't listen to us. This is how we can distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of deception.
6 Nosotros somos de Dios: el que conoce á Dios, nos oye: el que no es de Dios, no nos oye. Por esto conocemos el espíritu de verdad y el espíritu de error.
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 Dear friends, let's go on loving one another, for love comes from God. All those who love are born of God and know God.
7 Carísimos, amémonos unos á otros; porque el amor es de Dios. Cualquiera que ama, es nacido de Dios, y conoce á Dios.
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 Those who don't love don't know God, for God is love.
8 El que no ama, no conoce á Dios; porque Dios es amor.
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
9 How was God's love shown to us? God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we could live through him.
9 En esto se mostró el amor de Dios para con nosotros, en que Dios envió á su Hijo unigénito al mundo, para que vivamos por él.
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 This is love! It's not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and he sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
10 En esto consiste el amor: no que nosotros hayamos amado á Dios, sino que él nos amó á nosotros, y ha enviado á su Hijo [en] propiciación por nuestros pecados.
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 Friends, if this is the way God loves us, we ought to love one another like this too.
11 Amados, si Dios así nos ha amado, debemos también nosotros amarnos unos á otros.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has ever seen God. However, if we love one another then God lives in us, and his love is fulfilled in us.
12 Ninguno vió jamás á Dios. Si nos amamos unos á otros, Dios está en nosotros, y su amor es perfecto en nosotros:
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 How can we know that we live in him, and that he lives in us? He's given us the ability to love by his Spirit.
13 En esto conocemos que estamos en él, y él en nosotros, en que nos ha dado de su Espíritu.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14 For we are witnesses to what we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
14 Y nosotros hemos visto y testificamos que el Padre ha enviado al Hijo [para ser] Salvador del mundo.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
15 God lives in everyone who declares that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God.
15 Cualquiera que confesare que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, Dios está en él, y él en Dios.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
16 We have experienced and trusted in the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them.
16 Y nosotros hemos conocido y creído el amor que Dios tiene para con nosotros. Dios es amor; y el que vive en amor, vive en Dios, y Dios en él.
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 This is how love is made complete in us so that we can be confident on judgment day: by the fact that we live just like him in this world.
17 En esto es perfecto el amor con nosotros, para que tengamos confianza en el día del juicio; pues como él es, así somos nosotros en este mundo.
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 Where there is love there can be no fear. God loves us completely, and this love drives all our fears away. If we do fear, it's because we fear being punished, and this shows that we have not been fully remade by the completeness of God's love.
18 En amor no hay temor; mas el perfecto amor echa fuera el temor: porque el temor tiene pena. De donde el que teme, no está perfecto en el amor.
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 We love because he loved us first.
19 Nosotros le amamos á él, porque él nos amó primero.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 Anyone who says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, is a liar. Anyone who doesn't love a brother whom they can see, can't love God whom they can't see.
20 Si alguno dice, Yo amo á Dios, y aborrece á su hermano, es mentiroso. Porque el que no ama á su hermano al cual ha visto, ¿cómo puede amar á Dios á quien no ha visto?
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 This is the command he gave to us: those who love God love their brothers and sisters too.
21 Y nosotros tenemos este mandamiento de él: Que el que ama á Dios, ame también á su hermano.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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 …
