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 sons, these write I to you, that you sin not. And if a man shall sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jeshu Meshiha, the Just;
2 and He is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the whole world,
for he is the propitiation for our sins, and not on behalf of ours only, but also on behalf of the whole world.
3 and in this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commands;
And by this we feel 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;
For he who saith that he knoweth him, and his commandments keepeth not, 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 he who keepeth his word, in him is perfected truly the love of Aloha; for by this 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 who saith, I am in him, ought according to his walkings 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;
MY beloved, a new commandment I write not to you, but the old commandment, that which was with you from the beginning; but the old commandment is the word which you have 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 I write to you, that which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed, and the true light beginneth to appear.
9 he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
Whoever saith, then, that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in 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 who loveth his brother, in the light abideth, and offence is not 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.
He who hateth his brother is in darkness, and in the darkness walketh, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness itself hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
I write to you, sons, because forgiven to you are your sins for the sake of his name.
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 you have known him who hath been from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked. I have written to you, children, because you 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 you have known Him who (hath been) from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of Aloha remaineth in you, and you have overcome the wicked.
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 any thing which is in it; for whoever loveth 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 every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself.
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, (both) it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth 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;
my sons, it is the last time: and as you have heard, the false meshiha cometh; and now there are many false meshihas, and from this we know that it is the last time.
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.
From us they went forth, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, with us would they have remained. But they went forth from us, that it might be known that they were not of us.
20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man.
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 you know not the truth, but you know it, and that no lie is of it, 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 a liar, if not he who denieth that Jeshu is the Meshiha? and this (one) is a false meshiha. He who denieth the Father, denieth also the Son;
23 everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has the Father also.
and he who denieth the Son, disbelieveth also the Father. Whoso confesseth the Son, the Father also confesseth.
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,
And you, what you have heard from the first, let it continue with you. For, if what you have heard from the first continue with you, you also will continue in the Father and in the Son.
And this is the promise which he promised to us, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
But these I have written to you, because of those who would seduce you.
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 you, also, if the anointing continue with you which you have received from him, have not need that a man should teach you; but as the anointing that is from Aloha itself teacheth you concerning every thing, and is true, neither is falsity in it; and as it hath taught you, continue in it.
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 sons, continue in him: that when he is manifested we may not he confounded of him, but we may have confidence at his coming.
29 if you know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
If you know that he is righteous, know also that every one who doeth righteousness is of him.
