Iohannis I 2
1 filioli mei haec scribo vobis ut non peccetis sed et si quis peccaverit advocatum habemus apud Patrem Iesum Christum iustum
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 et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris non pro nostris autem tantum sed etiam pro totius mundi
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 et in hoc scimus quoniam cognovimus eum si mandata eius observemus
And by this we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 qui dicit se nosse eum et mandata eius non custodit mendax est in hoc veritas non est
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 qui autem servat verbum eius vere in hoc caritas Dei perfecta est in hoc scimus quoniam in ipso sumus
But whoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.
6 qui dicit se in ipso manere debet sicut ille ambulavit et ipse ambulare
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 carissimi non mandatum novum scribo vobis sed mandatum vetus quod habuistis ab initio mandatum vetus est verbum quod audistis
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 iterum mandatum novum scribo vobis quod est verum et in ipso et in vobis quoniam tenebrae transeunt et lumen verum iam lucet
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 qui dicit se in luce esse et fratrem suum odit in tenebris est usque adhuc
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 qui diligit fratrem suum in lumine manet et scandalum in eo non est
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
11 qui autem odit fratrem suum in tenebris est et in tenebris ambulat et nescit quo eat quoniam tenebrae obcaecaverunt oculos eius
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not where he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 scribo vobis filioli quoniam remittuntur vobis peccata propter nomen eius
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 scribo vobis patres quoniam cognovistis eum qui ab initio est scribo vobis adulescentes quoniam vicistis malignum
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 scripsi vobis infantes quoniam cognovistis Patrem scripsi vobis patres quia cognovistis eum qui ab initio scripsi vobis adulescentes quia fortes estis et verbum Dei in vobis manet et vicistis malignum
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 nolite diligere mundum neque ea quae in mundo sunt si quis diligit mundum non est caritas Patris in eo
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 quoniam omne quod est in mundo concupiscentia carnis et concupiscentia oculorum est et superbia vitae quae non est ex Patre sed ex mundo est
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 et mundus transit et concupiscentia eius qui autem facit voluntatem Dei manet in aeternum (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and its lust: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 filioli novissima hora est et sicut audistis quia antichristus venit nunc antichristi multi facti sunt unde scimus quoniam novissima hora est
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 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
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 shown that they were not all of us.
20 sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto et nostis omnia
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 non scripsi vobis quasi ignorantibus veritatem sed quasi scientibus eam et quoniam omne mendacium ex veritate non est
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 quis est mendax nisi is qui negat quoniam Iesus non est Christus hic est antichristus qui negat Patrem et Filium
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 omnis qui negat Filium nec Patrem habet qui confitetur Filium et Patrem habet
Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
24 vos quod audistis ab initio in vobis permaneat si in vobis permanserit quod ab initio audistis et vos in Filio et Patre manebitis
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 haec scripsi vobis de eis qui seducunt vos
These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you.
27 et vos unctionem quam accepistis ab eo manet 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
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 et nunc filioli manete in eo ut cum apparuerit habeamus fiduciam et non confundamur ab eo in adventu eius
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 si scitis quoniam iustus est scitote quoniam et omnis qui facit iustitiam ex ipso natus est
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
