1 John 2:7-17

71BelovedG27, I am 2not writingG1125 a newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, but an oldG3820 commandmentG1785 whichG3739 you have hadG2192 3from the beginningG746; the oldG3820 commandmentG1785 is the wordG3056 whichG3739 you have heardG191. 84On the otherG3825 handG3825, I am writingG1125 5a newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, whichG3739 is trueG227 in Him and in you, becauseG3754 6the darknessG4653 is passingG3855 awayG3855 and 7the trueG228 LightG5457 is alreadyG2235 shiningG5316. 9The one who saysG3004 he is in the LightG5457 and yet 8hatesG3404 his 9brotherG80 is in the darknessG4653 untilG2193 nowG737. 1010The one who lovesG25 his brotherG80 abidesG3306 in the LightG5457 and there is noG3756 causeG4625 for stumblingG4625 in him. 11But the one who 11hatesG3404 his brotherG80 is in the darknessG4653 and 12walksG4043 in the darknessG4653, and does not knowG3609 whereG4226 he is goingG5217 becauseG3754 the darknessG4653 has 13blindedG5186 his eyesG3788.

12I am writingG1125 to you, 14littleG5040 childrenG5040, becauseG3754 15your sinsG266 have been forgivenG863 you for His name’sG3686 sakeG1223. 13I am writingG1125 to you, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 you knowG1097 Him 16who has been from the beginningG746. I am writingG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, becauseG3754 17you have overcomeG3528 18the evilG4190 oneG4190. I have writtenG1125 to you, childrenG3813, becauseG3754 19you knowG1097 the FatherG3962. 14I have writtenG1125 to you, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 you knowG1097 Him 20who has been from the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, becauseG3754 you are 21strongG2478, and the 22wordG3056 of GodG2316 abidesG3306 in you, and 23you have overcomeG3528 the evilG4190 oneG4190.

15Do not loveG25 24the worldG2889 norG3366 the things in the worldG2889. 25IfG1437 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 is not in him. 16For allG3956 that is in the worldG2889, 26the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561 and 27the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788 and 28the boastfulG212 prideG212 of lifeG979, is not from the FatherG3962, but is from the worldG2889. 1729The worldG2889 is passingG3855 awayG3855, and also its lustsG1939; but the one who 30doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 livesG3306 foreverG165.
