1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that all of you 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 you may not sin: and if anyone may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, [the] Righteous One,
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
and He is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, 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 we may keep His commands;
4 He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
he who is saying, “I have known Him,” and is not keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5 But whoso keeps his word, (logos) in him verily is the love (agape) of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
and whoever may keep His word, truly the love of God has been perfected in him; in this we know that we are in Him.
6 He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
He who is saying he remains in Him, himself ought to also walk according as He walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which all of you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word (logos) which all of you have heard from the beginning.
Beloved, I do not write a new command to you, but an old command, that you had from the beginning—the old command is the word that you 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 shines.
again, a new command I write to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines;
9 He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
10 He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
he who is loving his brother, he remains in the light, and there is not a stumbling-block in him;
11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
but he who is hating his brother, he is in the darkness, and he walks in the darkness, and he has not known where he goes, because the darkness blinded 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 sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
13 I write unto you, fathers, because all of you have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because all of you have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because all of you have known the Father.
I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil [one]; I write to you, little youths, because you have known the Father;
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because all of you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because all of you are strong, and the word (logos) of God abides in you, and all of you have overcome the wicked one.
I wrote to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from the beginning; I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil [one].
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love (agape) of the Father is not in him.
Do not love the world, nor the things in the world; if anyone loves 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 [one’s] life—is not of the Father, but of the world,
17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever. (aiōn g165)
and the world is passing away, and the desire of it, but he who is doing the will of God, he remains—throughout the age. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as all of you 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 you heard that the antichrist comes, even now antichrists have become many—whereby 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.
they went forth out of us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out] so that they might be revealed that they are not all of us.
20 But all of you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know all things.
And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
21 I have not written unto you because all of you know not the truth, but because all of you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
I did not write to you because you have not known the truth, but because you have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies 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 denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which all of you have heard from the beginning. If that which all of you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, all of you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
You, then, that which you heard from the beginning, let it remain in you; if that which you heard from the beginning may remain in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father,
and this is the promise that He promised us—the continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
27 But the anointing which all of you have received of him abides in you, and all of you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, all of you shall abide in him.
and you, the anointing that you received from Him, it remains in you, and you have no need that anyone may teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, you will 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, so that when He may have appeared, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before Him, at His coming;
29 If all of you know that he is righteous, all of you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.
if you know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
