1 John 2
1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Yeshua Meshikha, the righteous.
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how 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 who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
8 Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour.
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Anti-Meshikha is coming, even now many anti-Meshikha's have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us.
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20 But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Meshikha? This is the Anti-Meshikha, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by him at his coming.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
