1 John 2
1 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.
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;
2 And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins, —and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep his commandments.
And, hereby, perceive we, that we understand him, —if, his commandments, we are keeping.
4 He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
He that saith—I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!
5 But whosoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: and by this we know that we are in Him.
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.
6 He that saith, he abideth in Him, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.
He that saith, that, in him, he abideth, ought, just as He walked, himself also, to be walking.
7 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:
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.
8 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.
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.
9 Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness:
He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now!
10 whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling.
He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.
11 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.
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.
12 I write unto you, little children, because for his sake your sins are forgiven you:
I write unto you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven you, for the sake of his name:
13 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:
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:
14 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---
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.
15 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.
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.
16 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.
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;
17 And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
And, the world, passeth away, and the coveting [thereof], but, he that doeth the will of God, endureth unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
18 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.
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:
19 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.
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.
20 And ye have an unction from the holy One, and know all.
And, ye, have, an anointing, from the Holy One, —Ye all, know:
21 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.
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.
22 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;
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.
23 for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.
Whosoever denieth the Son, neither hath he, the Father: He that confesseth the Son, hath, the Father also.
24 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.
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.
And, this, is the promise, which he hath promised unto us, —The age-abiding life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written unto you concerning those who would seduce you.
These things, have I written unto you, concerning them who would lead you astray.
27 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.
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.
28 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.
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.
29 If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one, who practiseth righteousness, is born of Him.
If ye know that he is, righteous, ye perceive that—whosoever doeth righteousness, of him, hath been born.
