1 John 2
1 My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. Yet if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Just One.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
And by this, we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
He who says, I have known him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
He who says he abides in him, ought, himself, also, so to walk even as he walked.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Brethren, I do not write a new commandment to you; but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word, which you have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
On the other hand, I write to you a new commandment, which is true concerning him and concerning you. For the darkness is passing away, and the light, which is true, now shines.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
He who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness till now.
10 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
He who loves his brother, abides in the light, and there is no stumbling block to him.
11 But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
But he who hates his brother, is in the darkness, and walks in that darkness, and does not know whither he goes; because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Little children, I write to you, because your sins are forgiven you, on account of his name.
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
Fathers, I write to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I write to you, because you have overcome the wicked one.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
Fathers, I have written to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I have written to you, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride 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 pride of life--is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
Now the world passes away, and the lust of it; be he who does the will of God, abides forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
Young children, it is the last period. And as you have heard that the antichrist comes, so, now, there are many antichrists; whence you know that it is the last period.
19 They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
They went away from us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, they would have abode with us; but they went away, that they might be made manifest that they were not of us.
20 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
But you have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Who is a liar, if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Whoever denies the Son, does not acknowledge the Father.
24 As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
Therefore, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning, abide in you; you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father:
and this is the promise which he has promised to us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
These things I have written to you, concerning them who deceive you;
27 and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
but the unction which you have received from him abides in you; and you have no need that any one should teach you, unless the same unction teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie: and as it has taught you, you will abide in him.
28 And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be put to shame by him, at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who works righteousness, has been begotten by him.
