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.
Filioli mei, haec scribo vobis, ut non peccetis. Sed et si quis peccaverit, advocatum habemus apud Patrem, Iesum Christum iustum:
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris: non pro nostris autem tantum, sed etiam pro totius mundi.
3 We know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
Et in hoc scimus quoniam cognovimus eum, si mandata eius observemus.
4 The one who says, “I know God,” but does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Qui dicit se nosse Deum, et mandata eius non custodit, mendax est, et in hoc veritas non est.
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:
Qui autem servat verbum eius, vere in hoc charitas Dei perfecta est: et in hoc scimus quoniam in ipso sumus.
6 whoever says that he remains in God should himself also walk just as he walked.
Qui dicit se in ipso manere, debet, sicut ille ambulavit, et ipse ambulare.
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.
Charissimi, non mandatum novum scribo vobis, sed mandatum vetus, quod habuistis ab initio: Mandatum vetus est verbum, quod audistis.
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.
Iterum mandatum novum scribo vobis, quod verum est et in ipso, et in vobis: quia tenebrae transierunt, et verum lumen iam lucet.
9 The one who says that he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness until now.
Qui dicit se in luce esse, et fratrem suum odit, in tenebris est usque adhuc.
10 The one who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Qui diligit fratrem suum, in lumine manet, et scandalum in eo non est.
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.
Qui autem odit fratrem suum, in tenebris est, et in tenebris ambulat, et nescit quo eat: quia tenebrae obcaecaverunt oculos eius.
12 I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven because of his name.
Scribo vobis, filioli, quoniam remittuntur vobis peccata propter nomen eius.
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.
Scribo vobis patres, quoniam cognovistis eum, qui ab initio est. Scribo vobis adolescentes, quoniam vicistis malignum.
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.
Scribo vobis infantes, quoniam cognovistis patrem. Scribo vobis iuvenes, quoniam fortes estis, et verbum Dei manet in vobis, et vicistis malignum.
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.
Nolite diligere mundum, neque ea, quae in mundo sunt. Si quis diligit mundum, non est charitas Patris in eo:
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.
quoniam omne, quod est in mundo, concupiscentia carnis est, et concupiscentia oculorum, et superbia vitae: quae non est ex Patre, sed ex mundo est.
17 The world and its desire are passing away. But whoever does the will of God will remain forever. (aiōn g165)
Et mundus transit, et concupiscentia eius. Qui autem facit voluntatem Dei, manet in aeternum. (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.
Filioli, novissima hora est: et sicut audistis quia Antichristus venit: et nunc Antichristi multi facti sunt; unde scimus, quia novissima hora est.
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.
Ex nobis prodierunt, sed non erant ex nobis. nam, si fuissent ex nobis, permansissent utique nobiscum: sed ut manifesti sint quoniam non sunt omnes ex nobis.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know the truth.
Sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto, et nostis omnia.
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.
Non scripsi vobis quasi ignorantibus veritatem, sed quasi scientibus eam: et quoniam omne mendacium ex veritate non est.
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.
Quis est mendax, nisi is, qui negat quoniam Iesus est Christus? Hic est Antichristus, qui negat Patrem, et Filium.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever acknowledges the Son also has the Father.
Omnis, qui negat Filium, nec Patrem habet. qui confitetur Filium, et Patrem habet.
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.
Vos quod audistis ab initio, in vobis permaneat: Quia si in vobis permanserit quod audistis ab initio, et vos in Filio, et Patre manebitis.
Et haec est repromissio, quam ipse pollicitus est nobis, vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)
26 I have written these things to you about those who would lead you astray.
Haec scripsi vobis de his, qui seducant vos.
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.
Et unctionem, quam accepistis ab eo, maneat in vobis. Et non necesse habetis ut aliquis doceat vos: sed sicut unctio eius docet vos de omnibus, et verum est, et non est mendacium. Et sicut docuit vos: manete in eo.
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.
Et nunc filioli manete in eo: ut cum apparuerit, habeamus fiduciam, et non confundamur ab eo in adventu eius.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born from him.
Si scitis quoniam iustus est, scitote quoniam et omnis, qui facit iustitiam, ex ipso natus est.
