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 children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron 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; but not for ours alone, 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 says, I know him, and does not keep 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 whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is 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 says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
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, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have 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, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
9 he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness 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 loves his brother abides in 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 hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
I write to you, 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 to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known 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 to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [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, nor the things in the world. If any one 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,
because 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 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 is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (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, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence 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 among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
And ye have [the] unction 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 to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that 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 who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies 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.
Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has 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 which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he has promised us, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
These things have I written to you concerning those who 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 yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall 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, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from 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, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
