< 1 John 2 >
1 My sons, these write I to you, that you sin not. And if a man shall sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jeshu Meshiha, the Just;
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 for he is the propitiation for our sins, and not on behalf of ours only, but also on behalf of 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 feel 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 For he who saith that he knoweth him, and his commandments keepeth not, 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 he who keepeth his word, in him is perfected truly the love of Aloha; for 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 saith, I am in him, ought according to his walkings to walk.
He that saith, he abideth in Him, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.
7 MY beloved, a new commandment I write not to you, but the old commandment, that which was with you from the beginning; but the old commandment is the word which you have 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, a new commandment I write to you, that which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed, and the true light beginneth to appear.
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 Whoever saith, then, that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now.
Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness:
10 He who loveth his brother, in the light abideth, and offence is not in him.
whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling.
11 He who hateth his brother is in darkness, and in the darkness walketh, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness itself hath 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, sons, because forgiven to you are your sins for the sake of his name.
I write unto you, little children, because for his sake your sins are forgiven you:
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who hath been from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked. I have written to you, children, because you have known 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 have known Him who (hath been) from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of Aloha remaineth in you, and you have overcome the wicked.
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, nor any thing which is in it; for whoever loveth 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 every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself.
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 And the world passeth, (both) it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth for ever. (aiōn )
And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn )
18 my sons, it is the last time: and as you have heard, the false meshiha cometh; and now there are many false meshihas, and from this we know that it is the last time.
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 From us they went forth, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, with us would they have remained. But they went forth from us, that it might be known 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 And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man.
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 you know it, and that no lie is of it, 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 denieth that Jeshu is the Meshiha? and this (one) is a false meshiha. He who denieth the Father, denieth also 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 and he who denieth the Son, disbelieveth also the Father. Whoso confesseth the Son, the Father also confesseth.
for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.
24 And you, what you have heard from the first, let it continue with you. For, if what you have heard from the first continue with you, you also will continue in the Father and in the Son.
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.
25 And this is the promise which he promised to us, eternal life. (aiōnios )
And this is the promise which He hath promised us, even eternal life. (aiōnios )
26 But these I have written to you, because of those who would seduce you.
These things have I written unto you concerning those who would seduce you.
27 And you, also, if the anointing continue with you which you have received from him, have not need that a man should teach you; but as the anointing that is from Aloha itself teacheth you concerning every thing, and is true, neither is falsity in it; and as it hath taught you, continue in it.
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, my sons, continue in him: that when he is manifested we may not he confounded of him, but we may have confidence 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, know also that every one who doeth righteousness is of him.
If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one, who practiseth righteousness, is born of Him.
