1 John 2
1 My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Little children of mine, these things I am writing to you so that not you may sin; And if anyone shall sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] Righteous [One],
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
And He himself [the] propitiation is for the sins of us; not for those of ourselves and only but also for all the world.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if the commandments of Him we shall keep.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
The [one] saying (that *no) I have known Him and the commandments of Him not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth not is;
5 But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
Who[ever] however maybe may keep His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that in Him we are.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
The [one] claiming in Him to abide ought even as that [one] walked also He himself in the same way to walk.
7 Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
(Beloved, *N+KO) not a commandment new I am writing to you but a commandment old which you have had from [the] beginning; The commandment old is the word that you have heard (from beginning. *K)
8 Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
Again a commandment new I am writing to you which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the light true already shines.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
The [one] claiming in the light to be and the brother of him hating in the darkness is until now.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
The [one] loving the brother of him in the light abides and cause for stumbling in him not there is.
11 The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
The [one] however hating the brother of him in the darkness is and in the darkness walks and not does he know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded the eyes of him.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
I am writing to you, little children, because have been forgiven your sins for the sake of the name of Him.
13 Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from [the] beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil [one]. (I have written *N+kO) to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from [the] beginning. I have written to you, young men, because strong you are and the word of God in you abides and you have overcome the evil [one].
15 Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
Not do love the world nor the [things] in the world. If anyone shall love the world, not is the love of the Father in him;
16 For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
because all that [is] in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the vaunting of life, not is from the Father but from the world is.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing away and the desire of it; the [one] however doing the will of God abides to the age. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
Little children, [the] last hour it is, and even as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now antichrists many have arisen whereby we know that [the] last hour it is.
19 These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
From among us they went out but not they were of us; if for of us they were being they had remained then would with us; But [it is] so that it may be made manifest that not they are all of us.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
And you yourselves [the] anointing have from the Holy [One] and you know (all [you]. *N+KO)
21 I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
Not I have written to you because not you know the truth but because you know it and because any lie of the truth not is.
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
who is the liar only except the [one] denying that Jesus not is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the [one] denying the Father and the Son.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Everyone who is denying the Son neither the Father has he; The [one] confessing the Son also the Father has.
24 As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
You yourselves (therefore *K) what you have heard from [the] beginning in you should abide. If in you shall abide what from [the] beginning you have heard, also you yourselves in the Son and in the Father will abide.
And this is the promise that He himself promised us: life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
These things I have written to you concerning those leading astray you.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
And you yourselves, the anointing that you received from Him abides in you and not need you have that anyone may teach you; But just as the (same *N+kO) anointing teaches you concerning all things and true is and not is a lie and even as it has taught you, (you abide *N+kO) in Him.
28 Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
And now, little children, do abide in Him, so that (if *N+KO) He shall appear (we may have *N+kO) boldness and not may be ashamed before Him at the coming of Him.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
If you know that righteous He is, you know that (also *no) everyone who is practicing the righteousness of Him has been begotten.
