1 John 2
1 My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,
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 and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for 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 in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep his commandments.
4 he who is saying, 'I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;
He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
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 is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
He that saith, he abideth in Him, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.
7 Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;
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 command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;
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 he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;
Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness:
10 he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;
whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling.
11 and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind 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, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;
I write unto you, little children, because for his sake your sins are forgiven you:
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye 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 did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.
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 ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love 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 because all that [is] in the world — the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life — is not of the Father, but of the world,
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 doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain — to the age. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many — whence we know that it is the last hour;
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 out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but — that they might be manifested that they are not all 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 ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
And ye have an unction from the holy One, and know all.
21 I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is 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 the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and 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 every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]
for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.
24 Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,
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.
And this is the promise which He hath promised us, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;
These things have I written unto you concerning those who would seduce you.
27 and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.
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, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;
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 ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one, who practiseth righteousness, is born of Him.
