1 John 2

1My children, these thingsG3778 I writeG1125 to you in orderG2443 that ye may not sinG264; and if any oneG5100 sinG264, we have a patron with the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 [the] righteousG1342; 2and he isG1510 the propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266; but not for ours aloneG3441, but alsoG2532 for the wholeG3650 worldG2889. 3And hereby we knowG1097 that we knowG1097 him, if we keepG5083 his commandmentsG1785. 4He that saysG3004, I knowG1097 him, and does not keepG5083 his commandmentsG1785, isG1510 a liarG5583, and the truthG225 isG1510 not in him; 5but whoever keepsG5083 his wordG3056, in him verily the loveG26 of 1GodG2316 isG1510 perfectedG5048. Hereby we knowG1097 that we areG1510 in him. 6He that saysG3004 he abidesG3306 in him oughtG3784, evenG2532 as he walkedG4043, himself alsoG2532 [so] to walkG4043. 7BelovedG27, I writeG1125 no newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, but an oldG3820 commandmentG1785, which ye have had from the beginning. The oldG3820 commandmentG1785 isG1510 the wordG3056 which ye heardG191. 8AgainG3825, I writeG1125 a newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, which thing isG1510 trueG228 in him and in you, because the darknessG4653 isG1510 passing and the trueG228 lightG5457 alreadyG2235 shinesG5316. 9He who saysG3004 he isG1510 in the lightG5457, and hatesG3404 his brotherG80, isG1510 in the darknessG4653 until now. 10He that lovesG25 his brotherG80 abidesG3306 in lightG5457, and there isG1510 no occasion of stumbling in him. 11But he that hatesG3404 his brotherG80 isG1510 in the darknessG4653, and walksG4043 in the darknessG4653, and knows not whereG4226 he goesG5217, because the darknessG4653 has blindedG5186 his eyesG3788. 12I writeG1125 to you, children, because [your] sinsG266 are forgivenG863 you for his name's sakeG1223. 13I writeG1125 to you, fathersG3962, because ye have knownG1097 him [that is] from the beginning. I writeG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, because ye have overcomeG3528 the wickedG4190 [oneG3588]. I writeG1125 to you, little childrenG3813, because ye have knownG1097 the FatherG3962. 14I have writtenG1125 to you, fathersG3962, because ye have knownG1097 him [that isG1510] from the beginning. I have writtenG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, because ye areG1510 strongG2478, and the wordG3056 of 2GodG2316 abidesG3306 in you, and ye have overcomeG3528 the wickedG4190 [oneG3588]. 15LoveG26 not the worldG2889, nor the things in the worldG2889. If any oneG5100 loveG26 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 isG1510 not in him; 16because all that [isG1510] in the worldG2889, the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561, and the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788, and the pride of lifeG979, isG1510 not of the FatherG3962, but isG1510 of the worldG2889. 17And the worldG2889 is passing, and its lustG1939, but he that does the will of 3GodG2316 abidesG3306 for eternityG165. 18Little childrenG3813, it isG1510 [the] lastG2078 hourG5610, and, according as ye have heardG191 that antichristG500 comesG2064, evenG2532 nowG3568 there have comeG2064 manyG4183 antichristsG500, whence we knowG1097 that it isG1510 [the] lastG2078 hourG5610. 19They wentG1831 out from among us, but they wereG1510 not of us; for if they had beenG1510 of us, they would have surely remainedG3306 with us, but that they might beG1510 madeG5319 manifestG5319 that none areG1510 of us. 20And ye have [the] unction from the holyG40 [oneG3588], and ye know all thingsG3956. 21I have not writtenG1125 to you because ye do not know the truthG225, but because ye know it, and that no lieG5579 isG1510 of the truthG225. 22Who isG1510 the liarG5583 but he who deniesG720 that JesusG2424 isG1510 the ChristG5547? He isG1510 the antichristG500 who deniesG720 the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207. 23Whoever deniesG720 the SonG5207 has not the FatherG3962 either; he who confessesG3670 the SonG5207 has the FatherG3962 alsoG2532. 24As for you let that which ye have heardG191 from the beginning abideG3306 in you: if what ye have heardG191 from the beginning abidesG3306 in you, ye alsoG2532 shall abideG3306 in the SonG5207 and in the FatherG3962. 25And this isG1510 the promiseG1860 which he has promisedG1861 us, lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26These thingsG3778 have I writtenG1125 to you concerningG4012 those who lead you astrayG4105: 27and yourselves, the unction which ye have receivedG2983 from him abidesG3306 in you, and ye have not needG5532 that any oneG5100 should teachG1321 you; but as the sameG846 unction teachesG1321 you as to all thingsG3956, and isG1510 trueG227 and isG1510 not a lieG5579, and evenG2532 as it has taughtG1321 you, ye shall abideG3306 in him. 28And nowG3568, children, abideG3306 in him, that if he be manifestedG5319 we may have boldnessG3954, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming. 29If ye knowG1097 that he isG1510 righteousG1342, knowG1097 that every oneG3588 who practises righteousnessG1343 isG1510 begottenG1080 of him.
