Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
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.
1
Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is of God,
2
in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,
3 and every spirit who doesn't confess that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the anti-messiah, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
3
and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.
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.
4
Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
5
They -- of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;
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.
6
we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.
7
Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;
8 He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
8
he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.
9 By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.
9
In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;
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.
10
in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God loved us so, we also ought to love one another.
11
Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
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.
12
God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
13
in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
14
And we -- we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son -- Saviour of the world;
15 Whoever will confess that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
15
whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;
16 We know and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
16
and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.
17 In this love has been made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.
17
In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we -- we also are in this world;
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.
18
fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;
19 We love Him, because he first loved us.
19
we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;
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?
20
if any one may say -- `I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?
21 This mitzvah have we from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
21
and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
