1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
My little children, I write these things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-righteous Jesus Christ.
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
And he is the atonement for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
And by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.
5 But whoever keeps his word, in him truly is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is fully perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
6 He that says he stays in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
He who claims to abide in him he also ought so to walk just as that man walked.
7 Brothers, 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 have heard from the beginning.
Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment that ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that ye heard from the beginning.
8 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 shines.
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines.
9 He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
He who claims to be in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 He that loves his brother stays in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
He who loves his brother abides in the light, and no cause of stumbling is in him.
11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and he goes about in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you through his name.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome evil. I write to you, children, because ye know the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God stays in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have know him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome evil.
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 the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 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 of the Father, but is of the world.
Because everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the arrogance of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God stays for ever. (aiōn g165)
And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides into the age. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Children, it is the last hour. And as ye heard that the antichrist comes, and now many antichrists have developed, from which we know that it is the last 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 continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us, but-so that they might be made known, that they are not all of us.
20 But you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.
And ye have an anointing from the Holy, and ye know all the things.
21 I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
I wrote to you not because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.
Who is the liar if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
Every man who denies the Son, also does not have the Father.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
Therefore ye, let what ye heard from the beginning abide in you. If what ye heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he promised us: the eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you.
I wrote these things to you concerning those who lead you astray.
27 But the anointing which you have received of him stays in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.
And for you, the anointing that ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it taught you, ye will abide in him.
28 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.
And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is made known, we may have confidence, and not be shamed by him at his coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.
If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every man doing righteousness has been begotten of him.
