Chapter 3
1 John 3:16
Ἐν τούτῳ ἐγνώκαμεν τὴν ἀγάπην, ὅτι ἐκεῖνος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἔθηκε· καὶ ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν τὰς ψυχὰς τιθέναι.
RBT Translation:
Within this one we have recognized the Agape-love because that one set the Soul-life of himself beyond from ourselves, and we ourselves are indebted to set the Soul-life beyond from the Brothers.
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren.
In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren.
LITV Translation:
By this we have known the love of God , because that One laid down His life for us; and on behalf of the brothers we ought to lay down our lives.
By this we have known the love of God , because that One laid down His life for us; and on behalf of the brothers we ought to lay down our lives.
