1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I vnto you, that ye sinne not: and if any man sinne, wee haue an Aduocate with the Father, Iesus Christ, the Iust.
My little children, I write these things to you, in order that you may not sin. And if any one may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the reconciliation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world.
he is the expiator for our sins: and not ours only, but indeed for the whole world.
3 And hereby we are sure that we knowe him, if we keepe his commandements.
And in this we know that we have known him, if we are keeping his commandments.
4 Hee that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commandements, is a liar, and the trueth is not in him.
The one saying, I have known him, and keeping not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5 But hee that keepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede: hereby wee knowe that ye are in him.
but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.
6 He that saith he remaineth in him, ought euen so to walke, as he hath walked.
The one saying that he abides in him ought himself so to walk about, as he also did walk about.
7 Brethren, I write no newe commandement vnto you: but an olde commandement, which ye haue had from the beginning: this olde commandement is that worde, which yee haue heard from the beginning.
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old one which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.
8 Againe, a new comandement I write vnto you, that which is true in him, and also in you: for the darkenes is past, and that true light now shineth.
Again I do write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you: because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 He that saith that hee is in that light, and hateth his brother, is in darkenes, vntill this time.
The one saying that he is in the light, and hating his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 Hee that loueth his brother, abideth in that light, and there is none occasion of euil in him.
The one loving his brother with divine love abides in the light, and there is no stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, and walketh in darkenesse, and knoweth not whither hee goeth, because that darkenesse hath blinded his eyes.
But the one hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and does not know whither he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Litle children, I write vnto you, because your sinnes are forgiuen you for his Names sake.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven through his name.
13 I write vnto you, fathers, because yee haue knowen him that is from the beginning. I write vnto you, yong men, because ye haue ouercome that wicked one. I write vnto you, litle children, because ye haue knowen ye Father.
I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have conquered the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I haue written vnto you, fathers, because ye haue knowen him, that is from the beginning. I haue written vnto you, yong men, because ye are strong, and the worde of God abideth in you, and ye haue ouercome that wicked one.
I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Loue not this world, neither the things that are in this world. If any man loue this world, the loue of the Father is not in him.
Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him:
16 For all that is in this world (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is not of the Father, but is of this world.
because this is all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And this world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth euer. (aiōn g165)
The world and its lust are indeed passing away; but the one doing the will of God abides forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Litle children, it is the last time, and as ye haue heard that Antichrist shall come, euen now are there many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time.
Little children, it is the last hour: and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, from which we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: for if they had bene of vs, they should haue continued with vs. But this cometh to passe, that it might appeare, that they are not all of vs.
They came out from us, but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us: but in order that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
20 But ye haue an ointment from that Holy one, and know all things.
You have an unction from the Holy One, and you all know.
21 I haue not written vnto you, because ye knowe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lie is of the trueth.
I have not written unto you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar, but he that denyeth that Iesus is that Christ? the same is that Antichrist that denyeth the Father and the Sonne.
Who is a liar except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoeuer denyeth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father.
No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father.
24 Let therefore abide in you that same which ye haue heard from the beginning. If that which ye haue heard from the beginning, shall remaine in you, ye also shall continue in the Sonne, and in the Father.
Let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which you heard from the beginning may abide in you, you also are abiding in the Son, and in the Father.
This is the message which he proclaimed unto you, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things haue I written vnto you, concerning them that deceiue you.
I have written these things unto you concerning those deceiving you.
27 But that anointing which ye receiued of him, dwelleth in you: and ye neede not that any man teach you: but as the same Anoynting teacheth you of all things, and it is true, and is not lying, and as it taught you, ye shall abide in him.
And the unction which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one may teach you: but as his unction teaches you concerning all things, and it is true, and it is no lie, and as he has taught you, abide in him.
28 And nowe, litle children, abide in him, that when he shall appeare, we may be bolde, and not be ashamed before him at his comming.
And now, little children, abide in him; in order that, if he may appear, we may have boldness, and not shrink with embarrassment from him in his presence.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that he which doeth righteously, is borne of him.
If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.
