¡Xmatican quen ijqui sanoyej techtlajsojtla Dios toTajtzin! Yejhua techtlajsojtla hasta techtocayotia iconehuan, niman melahuac tiiconehuan. On yejhuan xiconehuan xtechixmatij, pampa xquixmatij Dios. Notlajsojcaicnihuan, aman ye titeconehuan itech Dios. Hasta aman xtechititia quen ijqui tinemisquej. Pero ticmatztoquej ica ijcuac Cristo huajlas, tinemisquej quen yejhua, pampa tiquitasquej quen mero nemi. Niman nochimej yejhuan quinequij nemisquej quen Cristo, nochipajtihuij ijcon quen yejhua nemi chipahuac.

Nochimej yejhuan tlajtlacohuaj xquitlacamatij itlanahuatilhuan Dios. On tlajtlacojli quijtosnequi xnotlacamati on itlanahuatilhuan Dios. Nemejhuamej ye nenquimatztoquej ica Jesucristo ohuajlaj ipan in tlalticpactli para otechquixtilico on totlajtlacolhuan, niman ica yejhua xquipia tlajtlacojli. Ijcon, tej, on yejhuan nocahua ihuan Cristo, xoc más quistinemi ipan tlajtlacojli. On yejhuan quistinemi ipan tlajtlacojli, xquimati quen nemi Cristo, nion xquixmati.

Noconetzitzihuan, ma ca xmocahuilican yacaj mechcajcayahua. On yejhuan quichihua tlen cuajli, yejhua cuajli tlacatl ijcon quen Cristo cuajli. Pero yejhuan quistinemi ipan tlajtlacojli, yejhua teconeu itech on diablo, pampa on diablo yejhua tlajtlacolej desde ijcuac nochi otzimpeu. Niman on iConetzin Dios ohuajlaj para quixoxotonico on tlen yejhua on diablo quichihua. Xacaj yejhuan iconeu Dios quistinemi ipan tlajtlacojli, pampa inemilis Dios nocahua ipan. Niman yejhua xhuelis más quistinemis ipan tlajtlacojli, pampa yejhua yotlacat itech Dios. 10 Ijquin huelis nenquimatisquej aquinomej teconehuan itech Dios niman aquinomej teconehuan itech on diablo. Tla yacaj xquichihua tlen cuajli noso xquitlajsojtla icniu, yejhua xteconeu itech Dios.

Nonequi titotlajsojtlasquej inhuan ocsequimej

11 Desde ijcuac onenquineltocaquej Cristo, onencacquej ica nonequi titotlajsojtlasquej inhuan ocsequimej. 12 Ma ca ma ticchihuacan quen Caín oquichiu, yejhuan teconeu catca itech on diablo, niman oquimictij icniu. ¿Niman tlica oquimictij? Oquimictij pampa Caín quichihuaya on tlen xcuajli, niman on icniu quichihuaya tlen cuajli.

13 Nocnihuan, ma ca xmojcatlachacan tla mechtlahuelitaj on tlajtlacolejquej. 14 Otimicaj pampa otitoxelojcaj itech Dios, pero aman ticpiaj nemilistli pampa tinemij san secan ihuan Dios. Yejhua in ticmatztoquej pampa tiquintlajsojtlaj on tocnihuan. On yejhuan xquintlajsojtla ocsequimej oc mictoquej. 15 San aquinon yejhuan quitlahuelita icniu, yejhua se temictijquetl ipan iyojlo.

Niman itechcopa iEspíritu yejhuan otechmacac ticmatztoquej ica yejhua tohuan nemi.

See what great love(A) the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!(B) And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.(C) Dear friends,(D) now we are children of God,(E) and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a](F) we shall be like him,(G) for we shall see him as he is.(H) All who have this hope in him purify themselves,(I) just as he is pure.(J)

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.(K) But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins.(L) And in him is no sin.(M) No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.(N) No one who continues to sin has either seen him(O) or known him.(P)

Dear children,(Q) do not let anyone lead you astray.(R) The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.(S) The one who does what is sinful is of the devil,(T) because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God(U) appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.(V) No one who is born of God(W) will continue to sin,(X) because God’s seed(Y) remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God(Z) are and who the children of the devil(AA) are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love(AB) their brother and sister.(AC)

More on Love and Hatred

11 For this is the message you heard(AD) from the beginning:(AE) We should love one another.(AF) 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one(AG) and murdered his brother.(AH) And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.(AI) 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters,[b] if the world hates you.(AJ) 14 We know that we have passed from death to life,(AK) because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.(AL) 15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister(AM) is a murderer,(AN) and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.(AO)

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.(AP) And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.(AQ) 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them,(AR) how can the love of God be in that person?(AS) 18 Dear children,(AT) let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.(AU)

19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends,(AV) if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God(AW) 22 and receive from him anything we ask,(AX) because we keep his commands(AY) and do what pleases him.(AZ) 23 And this is his command: to believe(BA) in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ,(BB) and to love one another as he commanded us.(BC) 24 The one who keeps God’s commands(BD) lives in him,(BE) and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.(BF)
