1 John 2:7-29

71Beloved, I am 2not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had 3from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 84On the other hand, I am writing 5a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because 6the darkness is passing away and 7the true Light is already shining. 9The one who says he is in the Light and yet 8hates his 9brother is in the darkness until now. 1010The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11But the one who 11hates his brother is in the darkness and 12walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has 13blinded his eyes.

12I am writing to you, 14little children, because 15your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake. 13I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him 16who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because 17you have overcome 18the evil one. I have written to you, children, because 19you know the Father. 14I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him 20who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are 21strong, and the 22word of God abides in you, and 23you have overcome the evil one.

15Do not love 24the world nor the things in the world. 25If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, 26the lust of the flesh and 27the lust of the eyes and 28the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 1729The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who 30does the will of God lives forever.

18Children, 31it is the last hour; and just as you heard that 32antichrist is coming, 33even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 1934They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, 35so that 36it would be shown that they all are not of us. 2037But you have an 38anointing from 39the Holy One, and 40you all know. 21I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but 41because you do know it, and 42because no lie is 43of the truth. 22Who is the liar but 44the one who denies that Jesus is the 45Christ? This is 46the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 2347Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24As for you, let that abide in you which you heard 48from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also 49will abide in the Son and in the Father. 2550This is the promise which He Himself 51made to us: eternal life.

26These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to 52deceive you. 27As for you, the 53anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing 54teaches you about all things, and is 55true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, 56you abide in Him.

28Now, 57little children, abide in Him, so that when He 58appears, we may have 59confidence and 60not 61shrink away from Him in shame 62at His 63coming. 29If you know that 64He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness 65is 66born of Him.
