1 John 2
1 My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous.
My little children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. And if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the 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 shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
And by this we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 For he that saith, I know him, and doth 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 he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him.
But whoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.
6 He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings.
He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have heard.
Brethren, I write no new commandment to 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, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear.
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one.
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 to you, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil 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 abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him.
Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself.
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 from the Father, but is from the world.
17 And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the lust of it: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist cometh, even now are there many antichrists; by which we know that it is the last time.
19 From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so 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 of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written to 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 know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son.
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father.
Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son.
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you.
These [things] have I written to you concerning them that seduce you.
27 And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him.
But the anointing which ye have received from him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man should teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming.
And now, little children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.
If ye know that he is righteous ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
