凡從神生的就不會繼續犯罪
No one who is born of God
will continue to sin
約壹 1 John 2:28 – 3:10
(新漢語譯本 / ESV)
28. 如今，孩子們啊，你們要住在主裡面；這樣，他顯現的時候，我們就可以坦然無懼，他來臨的時候，我們就不至於在他面前羞愧。
29. 如果你們知道他是公義的，就知道凡行公義的人都是他所生的。
28. And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.
29. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
1. 你們看，父賜給我們的是怎麼樣的愛，讓我們得稱為神的兒女！我們也確實是他的兒女。世人所以不認識我們，是因為他們未曾認識他。
2. 親愛的弟兄們，我們現在是神的兒女，我們將來怎樣，還沒有顯明出來；但我們知道，他顯現的時候，我們將要像他，因為我們要看見他實在是怎樣的。
3. 凡對他有這樣盼望的人，就潔淨自己，像他那樣的潔淨。
1. See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called Children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
2. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
3. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
4. 凡是犯罪的，就是行不法的事；罪就是不法。
5. 你們知道基督曾經顯現，是要除掉罪；在他裏面是沒有罪的。
6. 凡住在他裏面的，都不犯罪；凡犯罪的，都未曾見過他，也未曾認識他。
4. Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
5. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
6. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.
7. 孩子們啊，不要讓人欺騙你們；行義的人才是公義的，就像基督是公義的一樣。
8. 犯罪的人是出於魔鬼，因為魔鬼從起初就犯罪。神的兒子所以顯現，就是為了毀滅魔鬼的作為。
7. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
8. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was rto destroy the works of the devil.
9. 凡從神生的，都不犯罪，因為神生命的種子存在他裏面；他也不能犯罪，因為他是從神生的。
10.從這一點，誰是神的兒女，誰是魔鬼的兒女，就顯而易見了：凡不行義的，就不是出於神；不愛弟兄的，也是這樣。
9. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
