1 John 2
1 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,
My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 and He is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the whole world,
and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 and in this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commands;
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 he who is saying, “I have known Him,” and is not keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5 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.
but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
6 He who is saying he remains in Him, himself ought to also walk according as He walked.
he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
7 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;
Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8 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;
Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
9 he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 he who is loving his brother, he remains in the light, and there is not a stumbling-block in him;
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11 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.
But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 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;
I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.
14 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].
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who 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 evil one.
15 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,
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.
16 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,
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 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)
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 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;
Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
19 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.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 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.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 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;
Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has the Father also.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
24 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,
As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.
27 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.
And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
28 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;
And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 if you know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
