1 John 2

1My littleG5040 children, these thingsG3778 writeG1125 I unto you that ye may not sinG264. And if any manG3778 sinG264, we have an Advocate with the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342: 2and he isG1510 the propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266; and not for ours onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 for the wholeG3650 worldG2889. 3And hereby we knowG1097 that we knowG1097 him, if we keepG5083 his commandmentsG1785. 4He that saith, I knowG1097 him, and keepeth not his commandmentsG1785, isG1510 a liarG5583, and the truthG225 isG1510 not in him; 5but whoso keepeth his wordG3056, in him verily hath the loveG26 of GodG2316 beenG1510 perfectedG5048. Hereby we knowG1097 that we areG1510 in him: 6he that saith he abideth in him oughtG3784 himself alsoG2532 to walkG4043 evenG2532 as he walkedG4043.

7BelovedG27, no newG2537 commandmentG1785 writeG1125 I unto you, but an oldG3820 commandmentG1785 which ye had from the beginning: the oldG3820 commandmentG1785 isG1510 the wordG3056 which ye heardG191. 8AgainG3825, a newG2537 commandmentG1785 writeG1125 I unto you, which thing isG1510 trueG228 in him and in you; because the darknessG4653 isG1510 passing awayG3855, and the trueG228 lightG5457 alreadyG2235 shineth. 9He that saith he isG1510 in the lightG5457 and hateth his brotherG80, isG1510 in the darknessG4653 evenG2532 until now. 10He that loveth his brotherG80 abideth in the lightG5457, and there isG1510 no occasion of stumbling in him. 11But he that hateth his brotherG80 isG1510 in the darknessG4653, and walketh in the darknessG4653, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darknessG4653 hath blindedG5186 his eyesG3788.

12I writeG1125 unto you, my littleG5040 children, because your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 you for his name’sG3686 sakeG1223. 13I writeG1125 unto you, fathersG3962, because ye knowG1097 him who is from the beginning. I writeG1125 unto you, youngG3495 menG3495, because ye have overcomeG3528 the evilG4190 oneG3588. I have writtenG1125 unto you, little childrenG3813, because ye knowG1097 the FatherG3962. 14I have writtenG1125 unto you, fathersG3962, because ye knowG1097 him who isG1510 from the beginning. I have writtenG1125 unto you, youngG3495 menG3495, because ye areG1510 strongG2478, and the wordG3056 of GodG2316 abideth in you, and ye have overcomeG3528 the evilG4190 oneG3588. 15LoveG26 not the worldG2889, neither the things that areG1510 in the worldG2889. If any man loveG26 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 isG1510 not in him. 16For all that isG1510 in the worldG2889, the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561 and the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788 and the vainglory of lifeG979, isG1510 not of the FatherG3962, but isG1510 of the worldG2889. 17And the worldG2889 passeth awayG3855, and the lustG1939 thereof: but he that doeth the will of GodG2316 abideth for ever.

18Little childrenG3813, it isG1510 the lastG2078 hourG5610: and as ye heardG191 that antichristG500 cometh, evenG2532 nowG3568 have there arisen manyG4183 antichristsG500; whereby we knowG1097 that it isG1510 the lastG2078 hourG5610. 19They wentG1831 out from us, but they wereG1510 not of us; for if they had beenG1510 of us, they would have continued with us: but they wentG1831 out, that they might beG1510 madeG5319 manifestG5319 that they all areG1510 not of us. 20And ye have an anointingG5545 from the HolyG40 OneG3588, and ye know all thingsG3956. 21I have not writtenG1125 unto you because ye know not the truthG225, but because ye know it, and because no lieG5579 isG1510 of the truthG225. 22Who isG1510 the liarG5583 but he that denieth that JesusG2424 isG1510 the ChristG5547? This isG1510 the antichristG500, evenG2532 he that denieth the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207. 23Whosoever denieth the SonG5207, the same hath not the FatherG3962: he that confesseth the SonG5207 hath the FatherG3962 alsoG2532. 24As for you, let that abideG3306 in you which ye heardG191 from the beginning. If that which ye heardG191 from the beginning abideG3306 in you, ye alsoG2532 shall abideG3306 in the SonG5207, and in the FatherG3962. 25And this isG1510 the promiseG1860 which he promisedG1861 us, evenG2532 the lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26These thingsG3778 have I writtenG1125 unto you concerningG4012 them that would lead you astrayG4105. 27And as for you, the anointingG5545 which ye receivedG2983 of him abideth in you, and ye needG5532 not that any oneG5100 teachG1321 you; but as his anointingG5545 teacheth you concerningG4012 all thingsG3956, and isG1510 trueG227, and isG1510 no lieG5579, and evenG2532 as it taughtG1321 you, ye abideG3306 in him. 28And nowG3568, my littleG5040 children, abideG3306 in him; that, if he shall be manifestedG5319, we may have boldnessG3954, and not be ashamedG153 before him at his coming. 29If ye knowG1097 that he isG1510 righteousG1342, ye knowG1097 that every oneG3588 alsoG2532 that doeth righteousnessG1343 isG1510 begottenG1080 of him.
