1 John 2
1 My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
Filioli mei, hæc scribo vobis, ut non peccetis. Sed et si quis peccaverit, advocatum habemus apud Patrem, Jesum Christum justum:
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris: non pro nostris autem tantum, sed etiam pro totius mundi.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Et in hoc scimus quoniam cognovimus eum, si mandata ejus observemus.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Qui dicit se nosse eum, et mandata ejus non custodit, mendax est, et in hoc veritas non est.
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
Qui autem servat verbum ejus, vere in hoc caritas Dei perfecta est: et in hoc scimus quoniam in ipso sumus.
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
Qui dicit se in ipso manere, debet, sicut ille ambulavit, et ipse ambulare.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Carissimi, non mandatum novum scribo vobis, sed mandatum vetus, quod habuistis ab initio. Mandatum vetus est verbum, quod audistis.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
Iterum mandatum novum scribo vobis, quod verum est et in ipso, et in vobis: quia tenebræ transierunt, et verum lumen jam lucet.
9 He who says 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 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Qui diligit fratrem suum, in lumine manet, et scandalum in eo non est.
11 But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Qui autem odit fratrem suum, in tenebris est, et in tenebris ambulat, et nescit quo eat: quia tenebræ obcæcaverunt oculos ejus.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Scribo vobis, filioli, quoniam remittuntur vobis peccata propter nomen ejus.
13 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.
Scribo vobis, patres, quoniam cognovistis eum, qui ab initio est. Scribo vobis, adolescentes, quoniam vicistis malignum.
14 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 abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
Scribo vobis, infantes, quoniam cognovistis patrem. Scribo vobis juvenes, quoniam fortes estis, et verbum Dei manet in vobis, et vicistis malignum.
15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
Nolite diligere mundum, neque ea quæ in mundo sunt. Si quis diligit mundum, non est caritas Patris in eo:
16 because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
quoniam omne quod est in mundo, concupiscentia carnis est, et concupiscentia oculorum, et superbia vitæ: quæ non est ex Patre, sed ex mundo est.
17 And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
Et mundus transit, et concupiscentia ejus: qui autem facit voluntatem Dei manet in æternum. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence 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 among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of 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 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
Sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto, et nostis omnia.
21 I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of 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 he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Quis est mendax, nisi is qui negat quoniam Jesus est Christus? Hic est antichristus, qui negat Patrem, et Filium.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Omnis qui negat Filium, nec Patrem habet: qui confitetur Filium, et Patrem habet.
24 As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
Vos quod audistis ab initio, in vobis permaneat: si in vobis permanserit quod audistis ab initio, et vos in Filio et Patre manebitis.
Et hæc est repromissio, quam ipse pollicitus est nobis, vitam æternam. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Hæc scripsi vobis de his, qui seducant vos.
27 and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Et vos unctionem, quam accepistis ab eo, maneat in vobis. Et non necesse habetis ut aliquis doceat vos: sed sicut unctio ejus docet vos de omnibus, et verum est, et non est mendacium. Et sicut docuit vos: manete in eo.
28 And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
Et nunc, filioli, manete in eo: ut cum apparuerit, habeamus fiduciam, et non confundamur ab eo in adventu ejus.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
Si scitis quoniam justus est, scitote quoniam et omnis, qui facit justitiam, ex ipso natus est.
