1 John 2
1 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.
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 the Messiah, the righteous.
2 For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the 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 shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep 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 is the love of God truly completed: for 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, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 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.
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 to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear.
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 Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness 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 in him is no stumbling.
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 he 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 to you, ye 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 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.
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 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.
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 any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father 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 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.
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 is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure 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 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.
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Anti-Messiah is coming, even now many anti-Messiahs have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 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.
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 ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 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.
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 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.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This is the Anti-Messiah, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father.
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 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.
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 And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 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.
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, 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.
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 ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
