1 John 2:1-17

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.
