1 John 2

1MyG1473 little childrenG5040, these thingsG3778 write IG1125 unto youG4771, thatG2443 ye sinG264 notG3361. AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 sinG264, we haveG2192 an advocateG3875 withG4314 the FatherG3588G3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342: 2AndG2532 heG846 isG1510 the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG1473 sinsG3588G266: andG1161 notG3756 forG4012 oursG2251 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 forG4012 the sins of theG3588G2889 wholeG3650 worldG3588G2889.

3AndG2532 herebyG3778 weG1097 doG1722 knowG1097 thatG3754 we knowG1097 himG846, ifG1437 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG3588G1785. 4He that saithG3004, I knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 keepethG5083 notG3361 hisG846 commandmentsG3588G1785, isG1510 a liarG5583, andG2532 the truthG3588G225 isG1510 notG3756 inG1722 himG3778. 5ButG1161 whosoG3739 keepethG5083 hisG846 wordG3588G3056, inG1722 himG3778 verilyG230 isG5048 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316 perfectedG5048: herebyG1722 know weG1097 thatG3754 weG846 areG1510 inG1722 himG3778. 6He that saithG3004 he abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 oughtG3784 himselfG1565 also soG2531 to walkG4043, evenG2532 asG3779 heG846 walkedG4043.

7BrethrenG80, I writeG1125 noG3756 newG2537 commandmentG1785 unto youG4771, butG235 anG1785 oldG3820 commandmentG1785 whichG3739 ye hadG2192 fromG575 the beginningG746. TheG3588G1785 oldG3820 commandmentG3588G1785 isG1510 the wordG3588G3056 whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746. 8AgainG3825, aG1785 newG2537 commandmentG1785 I writeG1125 unto youG4771, which thingG3739 isG1510 trueG227 inG1722 himG846 andG2532 inG1722 youG4771: becauseG3754 the darknessG3588G4653 is pastG3855, andG2532 theG3588G5457 trueG228 lightG3588G5457 nowG2235 shinethG5316. 9He that saithG3004 he isG1510 inG1722 the lightG3588G5457, andG2532 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG3588G80, isG1510 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653 even untilG2193 nowG737. 10He that lovethG25 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 abidethG3306 inG1722 the lightG3588G5457, andG2532 there isG1510 noneG3756 occasion of stumblingG4625 inG1722 himG846. 11ButG1161 he that hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 isG1510 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653, andG2532 walkethG4043 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653, andG2532 knowethG1492 notG3756 whitherG4225 he goethG5217, becauseG3754 that darknessG3588G4653 hath blindedG5186 hisG846 eyesG3588G3788.

12I writeG1125 unto youG4771, little childrenG5040, becauseG3754 yourG4771 sinsG3588G266 are forgiven youG863 forG1223 hisG846 name’sG3588G3686 sakeG1223. 13I writeG1125 unto youG4771, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I writeG1125 unto youG4771, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190. I writeG1125 unto youG4771, little childrenG3813, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 the FatherG3588G3962. 14I have writtenG1125 unto youG4771, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 unto youG4771, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye areG1510 strongG2478, andG2532 the wordG3588G3056 ofG1722 GodG3588G2316 abidethG3306 in youG4771, andG2532 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190.

15LoveG25 notG3361 the worldG3588G2889, neitherG3366 the thingsG3588 that are inG1722 the worldG3588G2889. IfG1437 any manG5100 loveG25 the worldG3588G2889, the loveG3588G26 ofG1722 the FatherG3588G3962 isG1510 notG3756 inG1510 himG846. 16ForG3754 all thatG3956 is inG1722 the worldG3588G2889, the lustG3588G1939 of the fleshG3588G4561, andG2532 the lustG3588G1939 of the eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 the prideG3588G212 of lifeG3588G979, isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the FatherG3588G3962, butG235 isG1510 ofG1537 the worldG3588G2889. 17AndG2532 the worldG3588G2889 passeth awayG3855, andG2532 the lustG3588G1939 thereofG846: butG1161 he that doethG4160 the willG3588G2307 of GodG3588G2316 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG3588G165.

18Little childrenG3813, it isG1510 theG5610 endG2078 timeG5610: andG2532 asG2531 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 antichristG3588G500 shall comeG2064, evenG2532 nowG3568 are thereG1096 manyG4183 antichristsG500; wherebyG3606 we knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG1510 theG5610 endG2078 timeG5610. 19They wentG1831 out fromG1537 usG1473, butG235 they wereG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 usG1473; forG1063 ifG1487 they had beenG1510 ofG1537 usG1473, they wouldG302 no doubt have continuedG3306 withG3326 usG1473: butG235 they went out, thatG2443 they might be made manifestG5319 thatG3754 they wereG1510 notG3756 allG3956 ofG1537 usG1473.

20ButG2532 yeG4771 haveG2192 an unctionG5545 fromG575 the Holy OneG40, andG2532 ye knowG1492 all thingsG3956. 21I haveG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 unto youG4771 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 notG3756 the truthG3588G225, butG235 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 itG846, andG2532 thatG3754 noG3756 lieG5579 isG1510 ofG1537 the truthG3588G225. 22WhoG5101 isG1510 a liarG3588G5583 butG1487G3361 he that deniethG3588G720 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG1510 the ChristG3588G5547? He isG1510 antichristG3588G500, thatG3778 deniethG3588G720 the FatherG3588G3962 andG2532 the SonG3588G5207. 23WhosoeverG3956 deniethG3588G720 the SonG3588G5207, the same hathG2192 notG3761 the FatherG3588G3962. 24Let thatG3739 thereforeG3767 abideG3306 inG1722 youG4771, whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746. IfG1437 that whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746 shall remainG3306 inG1722 youG4771, yeG4771 alsoG2532 shall continueG3306 inG1722 the SonG3588G5207, andG2532 inG1722 the FatherG3588G3962. 25AndG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 the promiseG3588G1860 thatG3739 heG846 hath promisedG1861 usG1473, even eternalG166 lifeG3588G2222. 26TheseG3778 things have I writtenG1125 unto youG4771 concerningG4012 them that seduceG4105 youG4771. 27ButG2532 the anointingG3588G5545 whichG3739 yeG4771 have receivedG2983 ofG575 himG846 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG4771, andG2532 ye needG2192 notG3756 thatG2443 any manG5100 teachG1321 youG4771: butG235 asG5613 the sameG846 anointingG5545 teachethG1321 youG4771 ofG4012 all thingsG3956, andG2532 isG1510 truthG227, andG2532 isG1510 noG3756 lieG5579, andG2532 even asG2531 it hath taughtG1321 youG4771, ye shall abideG3306 inG1722 himG846. 28AndG2532 nowG3568, little childrenG5040, abideG3306 inG1722 himG846; thatG2443, whenG3752 he shall appearG5319, we may haveG2192 confidenceG3954, andG2532 notG3361 be ashamedG153 beforeG575 himG846 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3588G3952.

29IfG1437 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 he isG1510 righteousG1342, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 every oneG3956 thatG3588 doethG4160 righteousnessG3588G1343 is bornG1080 ofG1537 himG846.
