1 John 2:13-29

13I am writingG1125 to you, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 you knowG1097 Him 1who has been from the beginningG746. I am writingG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, becauseG3754 2you have overcomeG3528 3the evilG4190 oneG4190. I have writtenG1125 to you, childrenG3813, becauseG3754 4you knowG1097 the FatherG3962. 14I have writtenG1125 to you, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 you knowG1097 Him 5who has been from the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, becauseG3754 you are 6strongG2478, and the 7wordG3056 of GodG2316 remainsG3306 in you, and 8you have overcomeG3528 the evilG4190 oneG4190.

15Do not loveG25 9the worldG2889 norG3366 the things in the worldG2889. 10IfG1437 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 is not in him. 16For allG3956 that is in the worldG2889, 11the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561 and 12the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788 and 13the boastfulG212 prideG212 of lifeG979, is not from the FatherG3962, but is from the worldG2889. 17 14The worldG2889 is passingG3855 awayG3855 and also its lustsG1939; but the one who 15doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 continuesG3306 to live foreverG165.

18ChildrenG3813, 16it is the lastG2078 hourG5610; and justG2531 asG2531 you heardG191 that 17antichristG500 is comingG2064, 18evenG2532 nowG3568 manyG4183 antichristsG500 have appearedG1096; fromG3606 thisG3606 we knowG1097 that it is the lastG2078 hourG5610. 19 19They wentG1831 outG1831 from us, but they were not really of us; for ifG1487 they had beenG1510 of us, they would have remainedG3306 with us; but they went out, 20soG2443 thatG2443 21it would be evidentG5319 that they allG3956 are not of us. 20 22But you haveG2192 an 23anointingG5545 from 24the HolyG40 OneG40, and 25you allG3956 knowG3609. 21I have not writtenG1125 to you becauseG3754 you do not knowG3609 the truthG225, but 26becauseG3754 you do knowG3609 it, and 27becauseG3754 noG3956 G3756 lieG5579 is 28of the truthG225. 22WhoG5101 is the liarG5583 exceptG1508 29the one who deniesG720 that JesusG2424 is the 30ChristG5547? ThisG3778 is 31the antichristG500, the one who deniesG720 the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207. 23 32WhoeverG3956 deniesG720 the SonG5207 does not haveG2192 the FatherG3962; the one who confessesG3670 the SonG5207 hasG2192 the FatherG3962 alsoG2532. 24As for you, see that whatG3739 you heardG191 33from the beginningG746 remainsG3306 in you. IfG1437 whatG3739 you heard from the beginningG746 remainsG3306 in you, you alsoG2532 34will remainG3306 in the SonG5207 and in the FatherG3962. 25 35ThisG3778 is the promiseG1860 whichG3739 He HimselfG846 36madeG1861 to us: eternalG166 lifeG2222.

26TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have writtenG1125 to you concerningG4012 thoseG3588 who are trying to 37deceiveG4105 you. 27And as for you, the 38anointingG5545 whichG3739 you receivedG2983 from Him remainsG3306 in you, and you haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 for anyoneG5100 to teachG1321 you; but as His anointingG5545 39teachesG1321 you aboutG4012 allG3956 thingsG3956, and is 40trueG227 and is not a lieG5579, and justG2531 asG2531 it has taughtG1321 you, 41you remainG3306 in Him.

28NowG3568, 42littleG5040 childrenG5040, remainG3306 in Him, soG2443 thatG2443 whenG1437 He 43appearsG5319, we may haveG2192 44confidenceG3954 and 45not 46drawG153 backG153 from Him inG153 shameG153 47at His 48comingG3952. 29IfG1437 you knowG3609 that 49He is righteousG1342, you knowG1097 that everyoneG3956 who practicesG4160 righteousnessG1343 alsoG2532 50has been bornG1080 of Him.
