1 John 2
1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
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: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
And by this, we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not 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 he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this 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 saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.
He who says he abides in him, ought, himself, also, so to walk even as he walked.
7 Dearly beloved, I write not 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.
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 a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.
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 that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
He who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness till now.
10 He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.
He who loves his brother, abides in the light, and there is no stumbling block to him.
11 But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath 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 unto you, little 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 unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
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 write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you 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 which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity 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 For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which 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 passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (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 as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby 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 us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all 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 But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
But you have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that 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 a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth 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 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.
Whoever denies the Son, does not acknowledge the Father.
24 As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you 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 them that seduce you.
These things I have written to you, concerning them who deceive you;
27 And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, 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, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by 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 you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who works righteousness, has been begotten by him.
