New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 19 | This is how we may know that we belong to the realm of truth, | Confidence before God 1Jn.3.19-24 | Καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνωσόμεθα ὅτι ἐκ τῆς ἀληθείας ἐσμέν, καὶ ἐμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πείσομεν τὴν καρδίαν ἡμῶν |
|
| 20 | and convince ourselves in his sight that even if our conscience condemns us. God is greater than our conscience Or: and reassure ourselves in his sight in matters where our conscience condemns us, because God is greater than our conscience ... ; Or: and yet we shall do well to convince ourselves that if even our own conscience condemns us, still more will God who is greater than conscience ... and knows all.
| | ὁτι ἐὰν καταγινώσκῃ ἡμῶν ἡ καρδία, ὅτι μείζων ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς τῆς καρδίας ἡμῶν καὶ γινώσκει πάντα. |
|
| 21 | Dear friends, if our conscience does not condemn us, then we can approach God with confidence, | | Ἀγαπητοί, ἐὰν ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν μὴ καταγινώσκῃ, παρρησίαν ἐχομεν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, |
|
| 22 | and obtain from him whatever we ask, because we are keeping his commands and doing what he approves. | | καὶ ὃ ἐὰν αἰτῶμεν λαμβάνομεν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ, ὅτι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ τηροῦμεν καὶ τὰ ἀρεστὰ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ποιοῦμεν. |
|
| 23 | This is his command: to give our allegiance to his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he commanded. | | καὶ αὑτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἐντολὴ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα πιστεύσωμεν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, καθὼς ἐδωκεν ἐντολὴν ἡμῖν. |
|
| 24 | When we keep his commands we dwell in him and he dwells in us. And this is how we can make sure that he dwells within us: we know it from the Spirit he has given us.
| | καὶ ὁ τηρῶν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ μένει καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι μένει ἐν ἡμῖν, ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος οὗ ἡμῖν ἐδωκεν. |
