1 John 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-righteous Jesus Christ.
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the atonement for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
And hereby know we that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him:
5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is fully perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby know we that we are in him:
6 He who claims to abide in him he also ought so to walk just as that man walked.
he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment that ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that ye heard from the beginning.
Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines.
Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
9 He who claims to be in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and no cause of stumbling is in him.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and he goes about in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you through his name.
I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome evil. I write to you, children, because ye know the Father.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him which is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.
14 I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have know him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome evil.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him which is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.
15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Because everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the arrogance of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides into the age. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Children, it is the last hour. And as ye heard that the antichrist comes, and now many antichrists have developed, from which we know that it is the last hour.
Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us, but-so that they might be made known, that they are not all of us.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest how that they all are not of us.
20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy, and ye know all the things.
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I wrote to you not because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is the liar if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Every man who denies the Son, also does not have the Father.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Therefore ye, let what ye heard from the beginning abide in you. If what ye heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 I wrote these things to you concerning those who lead you astray.
These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.
27 And for you, the anointing that ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it taught you, ye will abide in him.
And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is made known, we may have confidence, and not be shamed by him at his coming.
And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every man doing righteousness has been begotten of him.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
