1 Ser, hvor stor en Kærlighed Faderen har givet os, at vi skulle kaldes Guds Børn og vi ere det. Derfor kender Verden os ikke, fordi den ikke har kendt ham.
1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2 I elskede! nu ere vi Guds Børn, og det er endnu ikke åbenbaret, hvad vi skulle vorde. Vi vide, at når det åbenbares, da skulle vi vorde ham lige; thi i skulle se ham, som han er.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
8 Den, som gør Synden, er af Djævelen; thi Djævelen har syndet fra Begyndelsen. Dertil blev Guds Søn åbenbaret, for at han skulde nedbryde Djævelens Gerninger.
8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
10 Derved blive Guds Børn og Djævelens Børn åbenbare. Hver den, som ikke gør Retfærdighed, er ikke af Gud, og ligeså den, som ikke elsker sin Broder.
10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
12 ikke som Kain, der var af den onde og myrdede sin Broder. Og hvorfor myrdede han ham? Fordi hans Gerninger vare onde, men hans Broders retfærdige.
12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
