1 John 2
1 My children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Mine Børn! dette skriver jeg til eder, for at I ikke skulle synde. Og dersom nogen synder, have vi en Talsmand hos Faderen, Jesus Kristus, den retfærdige,
2 And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
og han er en Forsoning for vore Synder, dog ikke alene for vore, men ogsaa for hele Verdens.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Og derpaa kende vi, at vi have kendt ham, om vi holde hans Bud.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Den, som siger: „Jeg kender ham,” og ikke holder hans Bud, han er en Løgner, og i ham er Sandheden ikke;
5 But whoever keepeth his word, truly in him is the love of God perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
men den, som holder hans Ord, i ham er sandelig Guds Kærlighed fuldkommet. Derpaa kende vi, at vi ere i ham.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Den, som siger, at han bliver i ham, han er ogsaa skyldig selv at vandre saaledes, som han vandrede.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard.
I elskede, jeg skriver til eder ikke et nyt Bud, men et gammelt Bud, som I have haft fra Begyndelsen. Det gamle Bud er det Ord, som I have hørt.
8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him, and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shineth.
Og dog skriver jeg til eder et nyt Bud, hvilket er sandt i ham og i eder, thi Mørket drager bort, og det sande Lys skinner allerede.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness until now.
Den, som siger, at han er i Lyset, og hader sin Broder, han er i Mørket endnu.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him;
Den, som elsker sin Broder, bliver i Lyset, og der er ingen Forargelse i ham.
11 but he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Men den, som hader sin Broder, er i Mørket og vandrer i Mørket, og han ved ikke, hvor han gaar hen, fordi Mørket har blindet hans Øjne.
12 I write to you, my children, because your sins have been forgiven you for his name's sake.
Jeg skriver til eder, mine Børn! fordi eders Synder ere eder forladte for hans Navns Skyld.
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, my children, because ye know the Father.
Jeg skriver til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg skriver til eder, I unge! fordi I have overvundet den onde. Jeg har skrevet til eder, mine Børn! fordi I kende Faderen.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the Evil One.
Jeg har skrevet til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg har skrevet til eder, I unge! fordi I ere stærke, og Guds Ord bliver i eder, og I have overvundet den onde.
15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
Elsker ikke Verden, ikke heller de Ting, som ere i Verden! Dersom nogen elsker Verden, er Faderens Kærlighed ikke i ham.
16 because 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.
Thi alt det, som er i Verden, Kødets Lyst og Øjnenes Lyst og Livets Hoffærdighed, er ikke af Faderen, men af Verden.
17 And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Og Verden forgaar og dens Lyst; men den, som gør Guds Villie, bliver til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, the last time is come; and as ye have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that the last time is come.
Mine Børn! det er den sidste Time, og som I have hørt, at Antikrist kommer, saaledes ere nu mange Antikrister fremtraadte; deraf kende vi, at det er den sidste Time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
De ere udgaaede fra os, men de vare ikke af os; thi dersom de havde været af os, da vare de blevne hos os. Dog, det var, for at det skulde blive aabenbart, at de ikke alle ere af os.
20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things.
Og I have Salvelse fra den hellige og vide alt.
21 I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Jeg har ikke skrevet til eder, fordi I ikke vide Sandheden; men fordi I vide den og vide, at ingen Løgn er af Sandheden.
22 Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.
Hvem er Løgneren uden den, som nægter, at Jesus er Kristus? Denne er Antikristen, som fornægter Faderen og Sønnen.
23 Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father.
Hver den, som fornægter Sønnen, har ej heller Faderen; den, som bekender Sønnen, har ogsaa Faderen.
24 As for you, let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father.
Hvad I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, det blive i eder! Dersom det, som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, bliver i eder, skulle ogsaa I blive i Sønnen og i Faderen.
Og dette er den Forjættelse, som han selv tilsagde os, det evige Liv. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who seduce you.
Dette har jeg skrevet til eder om dem, som forføre eder.
27 And the anointing which ye yourselves received from him abideth in you, and ye have no need that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is not a lie, even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Og den Salvelse, som I fik af ham, bliver i eder, og I have ikke nødig, at nogen skal lære eder; men saaledes som hans Salvelse lærer eder alt, er det ogsaa sandt og er ikke Løgn, og som den har lært eder, skulle I blive i ham.
28 And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Og nu mine Børn! bliver i ham, for at vi, naar han aabenbares, kunne have Frimodighed og ikke skulle blive til Skamme for ham ved hans Tilkommelse.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness hath been born of him.
Dersom I vide, at han er retfærdig, da erkender, at hver den, som gør Retfærdighed, er født af ham.
