| 1 | Voyez de quel amour le Père nous a fait don, que nous soyons appelés enfants de Dieu; c'est pourquoi le monde ne nous connaît pas, parce qu'il ne l'a pas connu. | 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. | Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and [such] we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. |
| 2 | Bien-aimés, nous sommes maintenant enfants de Dieu, et ce que nous serons n'a pas encore été manifesté; nous savons que quand il sera manifesté, nous lui serons semblables, car nous le verrons comme il est. | 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. | Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. |
| 3 | Et quiconque a cette espérance en lui, se purifie, comme lui est pur. | And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. | And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. |
| 4 | Quiconque pratique le péché, pratique aussi l'iniquité, et le péché est l'iniquité. | Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. | Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. |
| 5 | Et vous savez que lui a été manifesté, afin qu'il ôtât nos péchés; et il n'y a point de péché en lui. | And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. | And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. |
| 6 | Quiconque demeure en lui ne pèche pas; quiconque pèche ne l'a pas vu, ni ne l'a pas connu. | Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. | Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. |
| 7 | Enfants, que personne ne vous égare: celui qui pratique la justice est juste, comme lui est juste. | Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. | [My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: |
| 8 | Celui qui pratique le péché est du diable, car dès le commencement le diable pèche. C'est pour ceci que le Fils de Dieu a été manifesté, afin qu'il détruisît les oeuvres du diable. | 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. | he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. |
| 9 | Quiconque est né de Dieu ne pratique pas le péché, car la semence de Dieu demeure en lui, et il ne peut pas pécher, parce qu'il est né de Dieu. | 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. | Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. |
| 10 | Par ceci sont rendus manifestes les enfants de Dieu et les enfants du diable: quiconque ne pratique pas la justice n'est pas de Dieu, et celui qui n'aime pas son frère. | 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. | 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 | Car c'est ici le message que vous avez entendu dès le commencement, savoir que nous nous aimions l'un l'autre, | For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. | For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: |
| 12 | non comme Caïn était du méchant et tua son frère. Et pour quelle raison le tua-t-il? Parce que ses oeuvres étaient mauvaises et que celles de son frère étaient justes. | 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. | not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother`s righteous. |
| 13 | Ne vous étonnez pas, frères, si le monde vous hait. | Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. | Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you. |
| 14 | Nous, nous savons que nous sommes passés de la mort à la vie, parce que nous aimons les frères; celui qui n'aime pas son frère demeure dans la mort. | We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. | We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. |
| 15 | Quiconque hait son frère est un meurtrier, et vous savez qu'aucun meurtrier n'a la vie éternelle demeurant en lui. | Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. | Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. |
| 16 | Par ceci nous avons connu l'amour, c'est que lui a laissé sa vie pour nous; et nous, nous devons laisser nos vies pour les frères. | 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. | Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. |
| 17 | Mais celui qui a les biens de ce monde, et qui voit son frère dans le besoin, et qui lui ferme ses entrailles, comment l'amour de Dieu demeure-t-il en lui? | 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? | But whoso hath the world`s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? |
| 18 | Enfants, n'aimons pas de paroles ni de langue, mais en action et en vérité. | My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. | [My] Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth. |
| 19 | Et par ceci nous saurons que nous sommes de la vérité, et nous assurerons nos coeurs devant lui; | And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. | Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: |
| 20 | que, si notre coeur nous condamne, Dieu est plus grand que notre coeur et il sait toutes choses. | For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. | because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. |
| 21 | Bien-aimés, si notre coeur ne nous condamne pas, nous avons de l'assurance envers Dieu; | Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. | Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; |
| 22 | et quoi que nous demandions nous le recevons de lui, parce que nous gardons ses commandements et que nous pratiquons les choses qui sont agréables devant lui. | And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. | and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. |
| 23 | Et c'est ici son commandement, que nous croyions au nom de son Fils Jésus Christ et que nous nous aimions l'un l'autre, selon qu'il nous en a donné le commandement; | 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. | And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment. |
| 24 | et celui qui garde ses commandements demeure en lui, et lui en cet homme; et par ceci nous savons qu'il demeure en nous, savoir par l'Esprit qu'il nous donné. | 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. | And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us. |
