3–BOB
1 Qaranglar, Otamiz Xudo bizni farzandlarim deb, qanday buyuk bir sevgini koʻrsatdi! Haqiqatan ham, biz Uning farzandlarimiz. Dunyo Otamizni hech qachon tan olmagan, shuning uchun bizni ham Xudoning farzandlari deb tan olmayapti. 2 Ha, azizlarim, hozir biz Xudoning farzandlarimiz. Ammo kelajakda kim boʻlishimiz bizga hanuz ochilmagan. Faqat shuni bilamizki, oʻsha payt kelganda, biz Xudo singari boʻlamiz, chunki Xudoning Oʻzini koʻramiz. 3 Xudoga bunday umid bogʻlagan har bir odam Iso Masih singari pok boʻlishi uchun oʻzini poklaydi.
4 Gunoh qiluvchi har qanday odam Xudoga qarshi bosh koʻtargan boʻladi, chunki gunoh Xudoga qarshi bosh koʻtarmoq demakdir. 5 Masih esa gunohlarimizni yuvish uchun kelganini bilasizlar. Unda gunoh yoʻqligi oʻzingizga ayon. 6 Masih bilan yashagan har bir odam gunohdan yuz oʻgiradi. Gunoh qilib yurgan odam esa, Masihni koʻrmagan ham, tanimagan ham.
7 Aziz bolalarim , hech kim sizlarni aldamasin. Adolatli ish qiluvchi har qanday odam xuddi Masih singari odildir. 8 Gunoh qiluvchi esa iblis zotidandir. Chunki iblis azaldan gunoh qilib kelyapti. Ammo Xudoning Oʻgʻli iblisning ishlarini barbod qilish uchun keldi. 9 Xudoning bolalari gunoh qilmaydi, chunki Xudoning hayotbaxsh kuchi ularning ichidadir. Ular Xudoning bolalari boʻlganlari uchun gunohda yashamaydilar. 10 Adolatli ish qilmagan va oʻz birodarini sevmagan odam esa Xudodan emas. Demak, iblis bolalari bilan Xudo bolalarining farqi ana shundadir.
Bir–birimizni yaxshi koʻraylik!
11 Sizlar boshidan eshitgan kalom shu: bir–birimizni yaxshi koʻraylik! 12 Yovuz shayton zoti boʻlgan Qobilga oʻxshamaylik. U oʻz ukasini oʻldirgandi. Nima uchun ukasini oʻldirdi? Chunki uning ishlari qabih, ukasining ishlari esa toʻgʻri edi.
13 Ey birodarlarim, agar dunyo sizdan nafratlanayotgan boʻlsa, hayratlanmanglar. 14 Biz oʻlimdan hayotga oʻtganimizni bilamiz, chunki birodarlarimizni sevamiz. Birodarini sevmagan odam esa oʻlim iskanjasida qolgan. 15 Birodaridan nafratlangan har qanday kishi qotildir. Hech bir qotil abadiy hayotga ega boʻlmasligini bilasizlar. 16 Masih bizlar uchun jonini fido qildi, ana shundan biz haqiqiy sevgini bildik. Demak, biz ham birodarlarimiz uchun jonimizni fido qilishga burchlimiz. 17 Agar oʻzimizga toʻq boʻlib turib, muhtojlikda yashayotgan birodarimizni koʻrsak–u, unga yordam bermay yuragimizni tosh qilsak, qanday qilib bizda Xudoning sevgisi joy oladi?!
18 Aziz bolalarim, biz haqiqiy sevgimizni quruq gap bilan emas, amalda koʻrsataylik. 19-20 Shunda biz haqiqat ahli ekanimizga ishonch hosil qilamiz. Hattoki vijdonimiz qiynalganda ham “Xudo hamma narsani biladi, U vijdonimizdan ham ulugʻ” degan haqiqat bilan Xudoning huzurida oʻzimizni tinchlantira olamiz. 21 Agar vijdonimiz bizni qiynamasa, ey azizlarim, Xudo oldida dadil boʻlamiz 22 va Undan nima soʻrasak, U beradi. Chunki biz Uning amrlarini bajarib, Unga manzur boʻlgan ishlarni qilyapmiz. 23 Xudoning amri esa Uning Oʻgʻli Iso Masihga ishonishdan va Masih buyurganidek, bir–birimizni sevishdan iboratdir. 24 Xudoning amrlarini bajargan odam Xudo bilan birga va Xudo u bilan birga yashaydi. Xudo biz bilan yashayotganini U har birimizga bergan Ruhidan bilamiz.
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God , because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
