⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

ወርእዩ ዘከመ እፎ ፍቅሩ ዘወሀበነ አብ ከመ ውሉደ እግዚአብሔር ንኩን ወኮነሂ ወበእንተዝ ኢፈተወነ ዓለም እስመ ሎቱኒ ኢያእመሮ።

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

你看父賜給我們是何等的慈愛，使我們得稱為上帝的兒女；我們也真是他的兒女。世人所以不認識我們，是因未曾認識他。

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

3:6

ወኵሉ ዘቦቱ ይነብር ኢይኤብስ እስመ ኵሉ ዘይኤብስ ኢይሬእዮ ወኢየአምሮ።

Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

犯罪的是屬魔鬼，因為魔鬼從起初就犯罪。上帝的兒子顯現出來，為要除滅魔鬼的作為。
