3:14 我们因为爱弟兄,就晓得是已经出死入生了。不爱弟兄的,仍住在死中。
We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brothers. He who does not love abides in death.
3:15 凡恨他弟兄的,就是杀人的;你们晓得凡杀人的,没有永远的生命住在他里面。
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
3:16 主为我们舍命,在此我们就知道何为爱;我们也当为弟兄舍命。
In this we know love, that He laid down His life on our behalf, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers.
3:17 凡有世上养生之物的,看见弟兄有需要,却向他塞住慈心,神的爱怎能住在他里面?
But whoever has the livelihood of the world and sees that his brother has need and shuts up his affections from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
3:18 孩子们,我们相爱,不要只在言语和舌头上,总要在行为和真诚上。
Little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue but in deed and truthfulness.
3:19 在此就知道,我们是属真理的,并且我们在祂面前可以安心;
And in this we will know that we are of the truth, and we will persuade our heart before Him,
3:20 我们的心若责备我们,神比我们的心大,一切事祂都知道。
Because if our heart blames us, it is because God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
3:21 亲爱的,我们的心若不责备我们,我们就可以向神坦然无惧了;
Beloved, if our heart does not blame us, we have boldness toward God;
3:22 并且我们不论求什么,就从祂得着;因为我们遵守祂的诫命,也行祂看为可喜悦的事。
And whatever we ask we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
3:23 神的诫命就是叫我们信祂儿子耶稣基督的名,并且照祂所赐给我们的诫命彼此相爱。
And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, even as He gave a commandment to us.
3:24 遵守神诫命的,就住在神里面,神也住在他里面。在此我们就知道神住在我们里面,乃是由于祂所赐给我们的那灵。
And he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And in this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He gave to us.
