< 1 John 2 >

1 Children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the one who is righteous.
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;
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
for he is the propitiation for our sins, and not on behalf of ours only, but also on behalf of the whole world.
3 We know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
And by this we feel that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 The one who says, “I know God,” but does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
For he who saith that he knoweth him, and his commandments keepeth not, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps his word, truly, in him truly the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him:
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.
6 whoever says that he remains in God should himself also walk just as he walked.
He who saith, I am in him, ought according to his walkings to walk.
7 Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you heard.
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.
8 Yet I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Christ and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
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.
9 The one who says that he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness until now.
Whoever saith, then, that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 The one who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
He who loveth his brother, in the light abideth, and offence is not in him.
11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
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.
12 I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven because of his name.
I write to you, sons, because forgiven to you are your sins for the sake of his name.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know the one who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, little children, because you know the Father.
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.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know the one who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
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.
15 Do not love the world nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
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.
16 For everything that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the arrogance of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
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.
17 The world and its desire are passing away. But whoever does the will of God will remain forever. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth, (both) it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that the antichrist is coming, now many antichrists have come. By this we know that it is the last hour.
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.
19 They went out from us, but they were not from us. For if they had been from us they would have remained with us. But when they went out, that showed they were not from us.
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.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know the truth.
And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man.
21 I did not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and because no lie is from the truth.
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.
22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist, since he denies the Father and the Son.
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;
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever acknowledges the Son also has the Father.
and he who denieth the Son, disbelieveth also the Father. Whoso confesseth the Son, the Father also confesseth.
24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
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.
25 This is the promise he gave to us—eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the promise which he promised to us, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 I have written these things to you about those who would lead you astray.
But these I have written to you, because of those who would seduce you.
27 As for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you everything and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, remain in him.
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.
28 Now, dear children, remain in him, so that when he appears, we will have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
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.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born from him.
If you know that he is righteous, know also that every one who doeth righteousness is of him.
