1 John 2
โ 1 John 01 | 1 John | 1 John 03 โ
v1
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
v2
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
v3
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
v4
One who says, โI know him,โ and doesnโt keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isnโt in him.
v5
But Godโs love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
v6
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
v7
Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
v8
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.
v9
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.
v10
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
v11
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesnโt know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
v12
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his nameโs sake.
v13
I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
v14
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
v15
Donโt love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Fatherโs love isnโt in him.
v16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isnโt the Fatherโs, but is the worldโs.
v17
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does Godโs will remains forever.
v18
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
v19
They went out from us, but they didnโt belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
v20
You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
v21
I have not written to you because you donโt know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
v22
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
v23
Whoever denies the Son doesnโt have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
v24
Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
v25
This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.
v26
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
v27
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you donโt need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
v28
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
v29
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
