< 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,
τεκνια μου ταυτα γραφω υμιν ινα μη αμαρτητε και εαν τισ αμαρτη παρακλητον εχομεν προσ τον πατερα ιησουν χριστον δικαιον
2 and He is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the whole world,
και αυτοσ ιλασμοσ εστιν περι των αμαρτιων ημων ου περι των ημετερων δε μονον αλλα και περι ολου του κοσμου
3 and in this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commands;
και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εγνωκαμεν αυτον εαν τασ εντολασ αυτου τηρωμεν
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;
ο λεγων εγνωκα αυτον και τασ εντολασ αυτου μη τηρων ψευστησ εστιν και εν τουτω η αληθεια ουκ εστιν
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.
οσ δ αν τηρη αυτου τον λογον αληθωσ εν τουτω η αγαπη του θεου τετελειωται εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω εσμεν
6 He who is saying he remains in Him, himself ought to also walk according as He walked.
ο λεγων εν αυτω μενειν οφειλει καθωσ εκεινοσ περιεπατησεν και αυτοσ ουτωσ περιπατειν
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;
αδελφοι ουκ εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν αλλ εντολην παλαιαν ην ειχετε απ αρχησ η εντολη η παλαια εστιν ο λογοσ ον ηκουσατε απ αρχησ
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;
παλιν εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν ο εστιν αληθεσ εν αυτω και εν υμιν οτι η σκοτια παραγεται και το φωσ το αληθινον ηδη φαινει
9 he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
ο λεγων εν τω φωτι ειναι και τον αδελφον αυτου μισων εν τη σκοτια εστιν εωσ αρτι
10 he who is loving his brother, he remains in the light, and there is not a stumbling-block in him;
ο αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει και σκανδαλον εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
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.
ο δε μισων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τη σκοτια εστιν και εν τη σκοτια περιπατει και ουκ οιδεν που υπαγει οτι η σκοτια ετυφλωσεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου
12 I write to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
γραφω υμιν τεκνια οτι αφεωνται υμιν αι αμαρτιαι δια το ονομα αυτου
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;
γραφω υμιν πατερεσ οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχησ γραφω υμιν νεανισκοι οτι νενικηκατε τον πονηρον γραφω υμιν παιδια οτι εγνωκατε τον πατερα
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].
εγραψα υμιν πατερεσ οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχησ εγραψα υμιν νεανισκοι οτι ισχυροι εστε και ο λογοσ του θεου εν υμιν μενει και νενικηκατε τον πονηρον
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,
μη αγαπατε τον κοσμον μηδε τα εν τω κοσμω εαν τισ αγαπα τον κοσμον ουκ εστιν η αγαπη του πατροσ εν αυτω
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,
οτι παν το εν τω κοσμω η επιθυμια τησ σαρκοσ και η επιθυμια των οφθαλμων και η αλαζονεια του βιου ουκ εστιν εκ του πατροσ αλλ εκ του κοσμου εστιν
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)
και ο κοσμοσ παραγεται και η επιθυμια αυτου ο δε ποιων το θελημα του θεου μενει εισ τον αιωνα (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;
παιδια εσχατη ωρα εστιν και καθωσ ηκουσατε οτι ο αντιχριστοσ ερχεται και νυν αντιχριστοι πολλοι γεγονασιν οθεν γινωσκομεν οτι εσχατη ωρα εστιν
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.
εξ ημων εξηλθον αλλ ουκ ησαν εξ ημων ει γαρ ησαν εξ ημων μεμενηκεισαν αν μεθ ημων αλλ ινα φανερωθωσιν οτι ουκ εισιν παντεσ εξ ημων
20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
και υμεισ χρισμα εχετε απο του αγιου και οιδατε παντα
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.
ουκ εγραψα υμιν οτι ουκ οιδατε την αληθειαν αλλ οτι οιδατε αυτην και οτι παν ψευδοσ εκ τησ αληθειασ ουκ εστιν
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;
τισ εστιν ο ψευστησ ει μη ο αρνουμενοσ οτι ιησουσ ουκ εστιν ο χριστοσ ουτοσ εστιν ο αντιχριστοσ ο αρνουμενοσ τον πατερα και τον υιον
23 everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has the Father also.
πασ ο αρνουμενοσ τον υιον ουδε τον πατερα εχει
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,
υμεισ ουν ο ηκουσατε απ αρχησ εν υμιν μενετω εαν εν υμιν μεινη ο απ αρχησ ηκουσατε και υμεισ εν τω υιω και εν τω πατρι μενειτε
25 and this is the promise that He promised us—the continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
και αυτη εστιν η επαγγελια ην αυτοσ επηγγειλατο ημιν την ζωην την αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
ταυτα εγραψα υμιν περι των πλανωντων υμασ
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.
και υμεισ το χρισμα ο ελαβετε απ αυτου εν υμιν μενει και ου χρειαν εχετε ινα τισ διδασκη υμασ αλλ ωσ το αυτο χρισμα διδασκει υμασ περι παντων και αληθεσ εστιν και ουκ εστιν ψευδοσ και καθωσ εδιδαξεν υμασ μενειτε εν αυτω
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;
και νυν τεκνια μενετε εν αυτω ινα οταν φανερωθη εχωμεν παρρησιαν και μη αισχυνθωμεν απ αυτου εν τη παρουσια αυτου
29 if you know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
εαν ειδητε οτι δικαιοσ εστιν γινωσκετε οτι πασ ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην εξ αυτου γεγεννηται
