1 John 2
1 MY little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
he who is saying, 'I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that 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 wicked one.
I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.
15 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.
Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
16 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.
because all that [is] in the world — the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life — is not of the Father, but of the world,
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain — to the age. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many — whence we know that it is the last hour;
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but — that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,
and this is the promise that He did promise us — the life the age-during. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
