1 John 2
1 My dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous;
My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
2 And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins, —and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.
and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
3 And, hereby, perceive we, that we understand him, —if, his commandments, we are keeping.
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith—I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!
He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5 But whosoever may be keeping his word, of a truth, in this man, the love of God hath been made perfect. Hereby, perceive we, that, in him, we are.
but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
6 He that saith, that, in him, he abideth, ought, just as He walked, himself also, to be walking.
He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
7 Beloved! no new commandment, am I writing unto you; but an old commandment, which ye have been holding from the beginning: The old commandment is the word which ye have heard.
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 heard.
8 Again, a new commandment, am I writing unto you, —which thing is true, in him and in you, because, the darkness, is passing away, and, the real light, already is shining.
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
9 He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now!
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.
He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11 Whereas, he that hateth his brother, in the darkness, dwelleth, and in the darkness, walketh; and knoweth not whither he is drifting, because the, darkness, hath blinded his eyes.
But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven you, for the sake of his name:
I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand the Father:
I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
15 Be not loving the world, nor yet the things that are in the world: if anyone be loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
16 Because, all that is in the world—the coveting of the flesh, the coveting of the eyes, and the vain grandeur of life—is not of the Father, but is, of the world;
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.
17 And, the world, passeth away, and the coveting [thereof], but, he that doeth the will of God, endureth unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children! it is, the last hour; and, just as ye have heard that, an antichrist, is coming, even now, antichrists have become, many, whence we perceive that it is, the last hour:
Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
19 From among us, they went out, but they were not of us; for, if, of us, they had been, they would in that case have abode with us; but [it came to pass] in order that they might be made manifest, because, all, are not of us.
They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
20 And, ye, have, an anointing, from the Holy One, —Ye all, know:
And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because, no falsehood, is, of the truth.
I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who, is the False One; —save he that denieth that, Jesus, is the Christ? The same, is the Antichrist, —he that denieth the Father and the Son.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, neither hath he, the Father: He that confesseth the Son, hath, the Father also.
Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, what ye have heard from the beginning, in you, let it abide. If, in you, shall abide, that which, from the beginning, ye have heard, ye also, in the Son, and [in] the Father, shall abide.
As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he has promised us, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things, have I written unto you, concerning them who would lead you astray.
These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
27 And, as for you, the anointing which ye have received from him, abideth in you, and ye have, no need, that anyone be teaching you; but, as, his anointing, is teaching you, and is, true, and is no falsehood, even just as it hath taught you, abide ye in him.
and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 And, now, dear children, abide ye in him, in order that, if he be made manifest, we may have boldness, and not be shamed away from him by his presence.
And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is, righteous, ye perceive that—whosoever doeth righteousness, of him, hath been born.
If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
