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,
Filioli mei, hæc scribo vobis, ut non peccetis. Sed et si quis peccaverit, advocatum habemus apud Patrem, Jesum Christum justum:
2 and He is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the whole world,
et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris: non pro nostris autem tantum, sed etiam pro totius mundi.
3 and in this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commands;
Et in hoc scimus quoniam cognovimus eum, si mandata ejus observemus.
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;
Qui dicit se nosse eum, et mandata ejus non custodit, mendax est, et in hoc veritas non est.
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.
Qui autem servat verbum ejus, vere in hoc caritas Dei perfecta est: et in hoc scimus quoniam in ipso sumus.
6 He who is saying he remains in Him, himself ought to also walk according as He walked.
Qui dicit se in ipso manere, debet, sicut ille ambulavit, et ipse ambulare.
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;
Carissimi, non mandatum novum scribo vobis, sed mandatum vetus, quod habuistis ab initio. Mandatum vetus est verbum, quod audistis.
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;
Iterum mandatum novum scribo vobis, quod verum est et in ipso, et in vobis: quia tenebræ transierunt, et verum lumen jam lucet.
9 he who is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
Qui dicit se in luce esse, et fratrem suum odit, in tenebris est usque adhuc.
10 he who is loving his brother, he remains in the light, and there is not a stumbling-block in him;
Qui diligit fratrem suum, in lumine manet, et scandalum in eo non est.
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.
Qui autem odit fratrem suum, in tenebris est, et in tenebris ambulat, et nescit quo eat: quia tenebræ obcæcaverunt oculos ejus.
12 I write to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you through His Name;
Scribo vobis, filioli, quoniam remittuntur vobis peccata propter nomen ejus.
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;
Scribo vobis, patres, quoniam cognovistis eum, qui ab initio est. Scribo vobis, adolescentes, quoniam vicistis malignum.
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].
Scribo vobis, infantes, quoniam cognovistis patrem. Scribo vobis juvenes, quoniam fortes estis, et verbum Dei manet in vobis, et vicistis malignum.
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,
Nolite diligere mundum, neque ea quæ in mundo sunt. Si quis diligit mundum, non est caritas Patris in eo:
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,
quoniam omne quod est in mundo, concupiscentia carnis est, et concupiscentia oculorum, et superbia vitæ: quæ non est ex Patre, sed ex mundo est.
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)
Et mundus transit, et concupiscentia ejus: qui autem facit voluntatem Dei manet in æternum. (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;
Filioli, novissima hora est: et sicut audistis quia antichristus venit, et nunc antichristi multi facti sunt; unde scimus, quia novissima hora est.
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.
Ex nobis prodierunt, sed non erant ex nobis, nam, si fuissent ex nobis, permansissent utique nobiscum: sed ut manifesti sint quoniam non sunt omnes ex nobis.
20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
Sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto, et nostis omnia.
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.
Non scripsi vobis quasi ignorantibus veritatem, sed quasi scientibus eam: et quoniam omne mendacium ex veritate non est.
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;
Quis est mendax, nisi is qui negat quoniam Jesus est Christus? Hic est antichristus, qui negat Patrem, et Filium.
23 everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has the Father also.
Omnis qui negat Filium, nec Patrem habet: qui confitetur Filium, et Patrem habet.
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,
Vos quod audistis ab initio, in vobis permaneat: si in vobis permanserit quod audistis ab initio, et vos in Filio et Patre manebitis.
Et hæc est repromissio, quam ipse pollicitus est nobis, vitam æternam. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I wrote to you concerning those leading you astray;
Hæc scripsi vobis de his, qui seducant vos.
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.
Et vos unctionem, quam accepistis ab eo, maneat in vobis. Et non necesse habetis ut aliquis doceat vos: sed sicut unctio ejus docet vos de omnibus, et verum est, et non est mendacium. Et sicut docuit vos: manete in eo.
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;
Et nunc, filioli, manete in eo: ut cum apparuerit, habeamus fiduciam, et non confundamur ab eo in adventu ejus.
29 if you know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
Si scitis quoniam justus est, scitote quoniam et omnis, qui facit justitiam, ex ipso natus est.
