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;
Mi litle sones, Y write to you these thingis, that ye synnen not. But if ony man synneth, we han an aduocat anentis the fadir,
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
Jhesu Crist, and he is the foryyuenes for oure synnes; and not oneli for oure synnes, but also for the synnes of al the world.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
And in this thing we witen, that we knowen hym, if we kepen hise comaundementis.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
He that seith that he knowith God, and kepith not hise comaundementis, is a liere, and trewthe is not in hym.
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
But the charite of God is perfit verili in hym, that kepith his word. In this thing we witen, that we ben in hym, if we ben perfit in hym.
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
He that seith, that he dwellith in hym, he owith for to walke, as he walkide.
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.
Moost dere britheren, Y write to you, not a newe maundement, but the elde maundement, that ye hadden fro the bigynnyng. The elde maundement is the word, that ye herden.
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.
Eftsoone Y write to you a newe maundement, that is trewe bothe in hym and in you; for derknessis ben passid, and veri liyt schyneth now.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
He that seith, that he is in liyt, and hatith his brother, is in derknesse yit.
10 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
He that loueth his brothir, dwellith in liyt, and sclaundre is not in hym.
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 that hatith his brother, is in derknessis, and wandrith in derknessis, and woot not whidir he goith; for derknessis han blindid hise iyen.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Litle sones, Y write to you, that youre synnes ben foryouun to you for 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.
Fadris, Y write to you, for ye han knowun hym, that is fro the bigynnyng. Yonge men, Y write to you, for ye han ouercomun the wickid.
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].
Y write to you, yonge children, for ye han knowe the fadir. Y write to you, britheren, for ye han knowen hym, that is fro the bigynnyng. Y write to you, yonge men, for ye ben stronge, and the word of God dwellith in you, and ye han ouercomun the wickid.
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;
Nyle ye loue the world, ne tho thingis that ben in the world. If ony man loueth the world, the charite of the fader is not in hym.
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 al thing that is in the world, is coueitise of fleisch, and coueitise of iyen, and pride of lijf, which is not of the fadir, but it 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)
And the world schal passe, and the coueitise of it; but he that doith the wille of God, dwellith with outen ende. (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.
My litle sones, the laste our is; and as ye han herd, that antecrist cometh, now many antecristis ben maad; wherfor we witen, that it is the laste our.
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.
Thei wenten forth fro vs, but thei weren not of vs; for if thei hadden be of vs, thei hadden dwelte with vs; but that thei be knowun, that thei ben not of vs.
20 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
But ye han anointyng of the Hooli Goost, and knowen alle thingis.
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.
Y wroot not to you, as to men that knowen not treuthe, but as to men that knowen it, and for ech leesing is not of treuthe.
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 liere, but this that denyeth that Jhesu is not Crist? This is antecrist, that denyeth the fadir, and the sone.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
So ech that denyeth the sone, hath not the fadir; but he that knowlechith the sone, hath also the fadir.
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.
That thing that ye herden at the bigynnyng, dwelle it in you; for if that thing dwellith in you, which ye herden at the bigynnyng, ye schulen dwelle in the sone and in the fadir.
And this is the biheeste, that he bihiyte to vs euerlastinge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Y wroot these thingis to you, of hem that disseyuen 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.
and that the anoyntyng which ye resseyueden of hym, dwelle in you. And ye han not nede, that ony man teche you, but as his anoyntyng techith you of alle thingis, and it is trewe, and it is not leesyng; and as he tauyte you, dwelle ye in hym.
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, ye litle sones, dwelle ye in hym, that whanne he schal appere, we haue a trist, and be not confoundid of hym in his comyng.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
If ye witen that he is iust, wite ye that also ech that doith riytwisnesse, is borun of hym.
