1 John 2:7-17
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 1GodG2316 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 2GodG2316 abidesG3306 for eternityG165.
