1 John 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
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 the atoning sacrifice 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 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep his commandments.
4 One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
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, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how 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 remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
He that saith, he abideth in Him, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
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 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already 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 hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness:
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in 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 the darkness, and does not know where he is going, 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 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
I write unto you, little children, because for his sake your sins are forgiven you:
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
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 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil 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 Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love 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, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
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 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains 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 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
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 out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to 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 anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
And ye have an unction from the holy One, and know all.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because 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 the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he 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, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.
24 As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain 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 those who would lead you astray.
These things have I written unto you concerning those who would seduce you.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain 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 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before 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 everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one, who practiseth righteousness, is born of Him.
