1 John 2
1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. Yet if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Just One.
My little children, I write these things 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 a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And by this, we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He who says, I have known him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.
He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
But whosoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: and by this we know that we are in Him.
6 He who says he abides in him, ought, himself, also, so to walk even as he walked.
He that saith, he abideth in Him, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.
7 Brethren, I do not write a new commandment to you; but an old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word, which you have heard from the beginning.
Brethren, I write not a new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning:
8 On the other hand, I write to you a new commandment, which is true concerning him and concerning you. For the darkness is passing away, and the light, which is true, now shines.
though I write it again as a new commandment, which is truth in Him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness till now.
Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness:
10 He who loves his brother, abides in the light, and there is no stumbling block to him.
whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling.
11 But he who hates his brother, is in the darkness, and walks in that darkness, and does not know whither he goes; because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
But he, that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not where he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Little children, I write to you, because your sins are forgiven you, on account of his name.
I write unto you, little children, because for his sake your sins are forgiven you:
13 Fathers, I write to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I write to you, because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning: and I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. Yea I have written to you, little children, because ye have known the Father:
14 Fathers, I have written to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I have written to you, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning: and I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one---
15 Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world; for if any one love the world to excess, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For 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.
For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world.
17 Now the world passes away, and the lust of it; be he who does the will of God, abides forever. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Young children, it is the last period. And as you have heard that the antichrist comes, so, now, there are many antichrists; whence you know that it is the last period.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that an antichrist will come, there are even now many antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went away from us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, they would have abode with us; but they went away, that they might be made manifest that they were not of us.
They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been indeed of us, they would have continued with us; but this was done that they might be made manifest, because all, that are with us, are not indeed of us.
20 But you have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
And ye have an unction from the holy One, and know all.
21 I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
I have not therefore written to you, because ye know not the truth; but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar, if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Who is a liar, if not he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, that denieth the Father as well as the Son;
23 Whoever denies the Son, does not acknowledge the Father.
for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.
24 Therefore, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning, abide in you; you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father:
Let that therefore, which ye have heard from the beginning, abide in you: for if that, which ye heard from the beginning, remain in you, ye also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which He hath promised us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you, concerning them who deceive you;
These things have I written unto you concerning those who would seduce you.
27 but the unction which you have received from him abides in you; and you have no need that any one should teach you, unless the same unction teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie: and as it has taught you, you will abide in him.
But the unction, which ye have received from Him, abideth in you; and therefore ye have no need that any should teach you: since this very unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth and not falshood; even as that hath taught you, abide in Him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be put to shame by him, at his coming.
And now, little children, abide, I say, in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be ashamed before Him at his coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who works righteousness, has been begotten by him.
If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one, who practiseth righteousness, is born of Him.
