1你看父賜給我們是何等的慈愛，使我們得稱為 ；我們也真是他的兒女。所以不認識我們，是因未曾認識他。Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
2親愛的弟兄啊，我們現在是 神的兒女，將來如何，還未顯明；但我們知道，主若顯現，我們必要像他，因為必得見他的。Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
3凡向他有這指望的，就自己，像他潔淨一樣。And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
4凡犯罪的，就是；違背律法就是罪。Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
5你們知道主曾顯現，是要人的罪，在他並沒有罪。But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
6凡住在他裡面的，就；凡犯罪的，是未曾看見他，也未曾認識他。No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
7小子們哪，不要被人誘惑。行義的才是義人，正如主是義的一樣。Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
8犯罪的是屬，因為魔鬼從起初就犯罪。 顯現出來，為要魔鬼的作為。The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
9凡從 神生的，就不犯罪，因 神的（原文是種）存在他心裡；他也不能犯罪，因為他是由 神生的。Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10從此就顯出誰是 神的兒女，誰是魔鬼的兒女。凡不行義的就不屬 神，不愛弟兄的也是如此。By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
11我們應當彼此相愛。這就是你們從起初所聽見的命令。This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
12不可像；他是屬那惡者，殺了他的兄弟。為甚麼殺了他呢？因自己的行為是惡的，兄弟的行為是善的。Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.
13弟兄們，世人若恨你們，不要以為。So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
14我們因為愛弟兄，就曉得是已經了。沒有愛心的，仍住在死中。We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
15凡恨他弟兄的，就是；你們曉得凡殺人的，沒有存在他裡面。Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.
16主為我們，我們從此就知道何為愛；我們也當為弟兄捨命。By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17凡有世上財物的，看見弟兄窮乏，卻，愛 神的心怎能存在他裡面呢？If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?
18小子們哪，我們相愛，不要只在言語和舌頭上，總要在行為和誠實上。Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
19從此就知道我們是屬真理的，並且我們的心在 神面前可以。And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:
20我們的心若我們， 神比我們的心大，一切事沒有不知道的。Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
21親愛的弟兄啊，我們的心若不責備我們，就可以向 神坦然無懼了。Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
22並且我們一切所求的，就從他得著；因為我們遵守他的命令，行他所喜悅的事。and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
23神的命令就是叫我們信他兒子耶穌基督的，且照他所賜給我們的命令彼此相愛。And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
24遵守 神命令的，就住在 神裡面， 神也住在他裡面。我們所以知道 神住在我們裡面是因他所賜給我們的。Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
