Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 Mine kære børn, jeg skriver det her for at hjælpe jer til ikke at synde. Men hvis I synder, så har vi en, der går i forbøn for os hos Faderen, nemlig Jesus Kristus, som selv er syndfri. 2 Han har allerede ved at ofre sit liv skaffet os tilgivelse for alle vores synder, ja, ikke kun for vores, men for alle menneskers synder.

Lev i lydighed mod Jesu befalinger

3 Det er ved at gøre, hvad Jesus påbyder os, at vi kan blive klar over, om vi virkelig tilhører ham. 4 Hvis vi siger, at vi kender Jesus, men ikke adlyder ham, så lyver vi. Det har intet med sand kundskab at gøre. 5 Men adlyder vi ham, har Gud nået sit mål med at vise os sin kærlighed. Lever vi på den måde, så ved vi, at vi tilhører ham. 6 Hvis vi siger, at vi tilhører Jesus, må vi også leve, ligesom han gjorde.

Adlyd kærlighedsbudet

7 Elskede venner, det er ikke et nyt bud, jeg skriver til jer om. Nej, budet om at vise kærlighed har I altid kendt. Det er et gammelt bud, som I har hørt før. 8 Alligevel er der noget nyt ved det. Det nye er, at Jesus med sit liv viste, hvad budet betyder, og det må vi^[1] også gøre, for det sande lys er brudt frem, og derfor må mørket vige. 9 Hvis nogen siger, at de lever i Guds lys, men samtidig hader en anden kristen, så lever de stadig i mørket. 10 De, der elsker andre kristne, lever i lyset, og intet får dem til at snuble. 11 Men, de der hader andre kristne, lever i åndeligt mørke. De famler rundt i mørke, for de er åndeligt blinde.

Elsk ikke denne verden

12 Jeg skriver til jer børn, hvis synder er tilgivet ved Jesu død. 13 Jeg skriver til jer fædre, som kender ham, der er forud for alt andet. Jeg skriver til jer unge, som har sejret over den Onde. 14 Jeg henvender mig til jer børn, fordi I har lært Faderen at kende. Jeg henvender mig til jer fædre, fordi I kender ham, der er forud for alt andet. Jeg henvender mig til jer unge, fordi I er stærke og holder fast ved Guds ord og derved sejrer over den Onde. 15 Elsk ikke denne verden eller det, der findes i verden. Hvis du elsker verden, kan du ikke samtidig elske Gud.^[2] 16 Alt, hvad der hører denne verden til: fysisk begær, misundelse og pral med materiel rigdom, er ikke fra Faderen, men fra verden. 17 Denne verden og alt, hvad den tilbyder, er på vej mod sin undergang. Men de, der gør Guds vilje, vil leve til evig tid.

Hold fast ved sandheden

18 Mine kære børn! Vi lever i de sidste tider. I har hørt, at Antikrist engang vil fremstå som en fuldstændig modsætning til Kristus. Men allerede nu har Kristus mange modstandere, mange antikrister. Det viser blot, at vi lever i de sidste tider. 19 Disse modstandere er kommet fra vores egne rækker, men de har aldrig virkelig været en del af os. Havde de været det, ville de være blevet hos os. Da de forlod os, blev det klart for alle, at de aldrig havde været ét med os. 20 Det er anderledes med jer. I har modtaget Helligånden, så I kender det hele.^[3] 21 Jeg har derfor ikke skrevet til jer, som om I ikke kendte Sandheden. Tværtimod! I er jo kommet til erkendelse af Sandheden, og I ved, at ingen løgn stammer fra Sandheden. 22 De, der siger, at Jesus ikke er Kristus, den lovede Messias, er løgnere og antikrister, som gør oprør mod Faderen og Sønnen. 23 De, der tager afstand fra Sønnen, tager også afstand fra Faderen. Men de, der vedkender sig Sønnen, vedkender sig også Faderen. 24 Hold derfor fast ved det, I har hørt fra begyndelsen, for så vil I også holde fast ved Sønnen og ved Faderen. 25 Og husk, at han har lovet os det evige liv. 26 Jeg har skrevet det her til jer, fordi der er nogle, der prøver at føre jer på vildspor. 27 Men I har fået Helligånden, og han er altid hos jer, så I egentlig ikke har brug for, at andre skal undervise jer. Det er Helligånden, der hjælper jer til en sand forståelse af alle ting, for han lyver aldrig. Han har også lært jer betydningen af at holde fast ved Kristus. 28 Altså, mine kære børn, vi skal holde fast ved Kristus, så vi kan være frimodige og ikke behøver at skamme os, når han kommer igen. 29 Da I ved, at han gør Guds vilje, så ved I også, at alle, der gør Guds vilje, tilhører ham.

King James Version

1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
