1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
And by this we shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
But he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him.
6 he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings.
7 Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have heard.
8 Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear.
9 He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.
I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.
I have written to you, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so it might be known, that they were not of us.
20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth.
22 Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.
Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father.
24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son.
And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.
And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you.
27 And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him.
28 And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.
