1. (My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.) But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous One,
|
1. My G3450 little children G5040 , these things G5023 write G1125 I unto you G5213 , that G2443 ye sin G264 not G3361 . And G2532 if G1437 any man G5100 sin G264 , we have G2192 an advocate G3875 with G4314 the G3588 Father G3962 , Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 the righteous G1342 :
|
2. and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.
|
2. And G2532 he G846 is G2076 the propitiation G2434 for G4012 our G2257 sins G266 : and G1161 not G3756 for G4012 ours G2251 only G3440 , but G235 also G2532 for G4012 the sins of the G3588 whole G3650 world G2889 .
|
3. Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep his commandments.
|
3. And G2532 hereby G1722 G5129 we do know G1097 that G3754 we know G1097 him G846 , if G1437 we keep G5083 his G848 commandments G1785 .
|
4. The one who says "I have come to know God" and yet does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person.
|
4. He that saith G3004 , I know G1097 him G846 , and G2532 keepeth G5083 not G3361 his G848 commandments G1785 , is G2076 a liar G5583 , and G2532 the G3588 truth G225 is G2076 not G3756 in G1722 him G5129 .
|
5. But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
|
5. But G1161 whoso G3739 G302 keepeth G5083 his G848 word G3056 , in G1722 him G5129 verily G230 is the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 perfected G5048 : hereby G1722 G5129 know G1097 we that G3754 we are G2070 in G1722 him G846 .
|
6. The one who says he resides in God ought himself to walk just as Jesus walked.
|
6. He that saith G3004 he abideth G3306 in G1722 him G846 ought G3784 himself G848 also G2532 so G3779 to walk G4043 , even as G2531 he G1565 walked G4043 .
|
7. Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have already heard.
|
7. Brethren G80 , I write G1125 no G3756 new G2537 commandment G1785 unto you G5213 , but G235 an old G3820 commandment G1785 which G3739 ye had G2192 from G575 the beginning G746 . The G3588 old G3820 commandment G1785 is G2076 the G3588 word G3056 which G3739 ye have heard G191 from G575 the beginning G746 .
|
8. On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
|
8. Again G3825 , a new G2537 commandment G1785 I write G1125 unto you G5213 , which thing G3739 is G2076 true G227 in G1722 him G846 and G2532 in G1722 you G5213 : because G3754 the G3588 darkness G4653 is past G3855 , and G2532 the G3588 true G228 light G5457 now G2235 shineth G5316 .
|
9. The one who says he is in the light but still hates his fellow Christian is still in the darkness.
|
9. He that saith G3004 he is G1511 in G1722 the G3588 light G5457 , and G2532 hateth G3404 his G848 brother G80 , is G2076 in G1722 darkness G4653 even until G2193 now G737 .
|
10. The one who loves his fellow Christian resides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
|
10. He that loveth G25 his G848 brother G80 abideth G3306 in G1722 the G3588 light G5457 , and G2532 there is G2076 none G3756 occasion of stumbling G4625 in G1722 him G846 .
|
11. But the one who hates his fellow Christian is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
|
11. But G1161 he that hateth G3404 his G848 brother G80 is G2076 in G1722 darkness G4653 , and G2532 walketh G4043 in G1722 darkness G4653 , and G2532 knoweth G1492 not G3756 whither G4226 he goeth G5217 , because G3754 that darkness G4653 hath blinded G5186 his G848 eyes G3788 .
|
12. I am writing to you, little children, that your sins have been forgiven because of his name.
|
12. I write G1125 unto you G5213 , little children G5040 , because G3754 your sins G266 are forgiven G863 you G5213 for his name's sake G1223 G848 G3686 .
|
13. I am writing to you, fathers, that you have known him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, that you have conquered the evil one.
|
13. I write G1125 unto you G5213 , fathers G3962 , because G3754 ye have known G1097 him G3588 that is from G575 the beginning G746 . I write G1125 unto you G5213 , young men G3495 , because G3754 ye have overcome G3528 the G3588 wicked one G4190 . I write G1125 unto you G5213 , little children G3813 , because G3754 ye have known G1097 the G3588 Father G3962 .
|
14. I have written to you, children, that you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, that you have known him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, that you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.
|
14. I have written G1125 unto you G5213 , fathers G3962 , because G3754 ye have known G1097 him G3588 that is from G575 the beginning G746 . I have written G1125 unto you G5213 , young men G3495 , because G3754 ye are G2075 strong G2478 , and G2532 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 abideth G3306 in G1722 you G5213 , and G2532 ye have overcome G3528 the G3588 wicked one G4190 .
|
15. Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
|
15. Love G25 not G3361 the G3588 world G2889 , neither G3366 the things G3588 that are in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 . If G1437 any man G5100 love G25 the G3588 world G2889 , the G3588 love G26 of the G3588 Father G3962 is G2076 not G3756 in G1722 him G846 .
|
16. because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father, but is from the world.
|
16. For G3754 all G3956 that G3588 is in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 , the G3588 lust G1939 of the G3588 flesh G4561 , and G2532 the G3588 lust G1939 of the G3588 eyes G3788 , and G2532 the G3588 pride G212 of life G979 , is G2076 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 Father G3962 , but G235 is G2076 of G1537 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
17. And the world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.
|
17. And G2532 the G3588 world G2889 passeth away G3855 , and G2532 the G3588 lust G1939 thereof G848 : but G1161 he that doeth G4160 the G3588 will G2307 of God G2316 abideth G3306 forever G1519 G165 .
|
18. Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. We know from this that it is the last hour.
|
18. Little children G3813 , it is G2076 the last G2078 time G5610 : and G2532 as G2531 ye have heard G191 that G3754 antichrist G500 shall come G2064 , even G2532 now G3568 are G1096 there many G4183 antichrists G500 ; whereby G3606 we know G1097 that G3754 it is G2076 the last G2078 time G5610 .
|
19. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us, because if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they went out from us to demonstrate that all of them do not belong to us.
|
19. They went out G1831 from G1537 us G2257 , but G235 they were G2258 not G3756 of G1537 us G2257 : for G1063 if G1487 they had been G2258 of G1537 us G2257 , they would no doubt have continued G3306 G302 with G3326 us G2257 : but G235 they went out, that G2443 they might be made manifest G5319 that G3754 they were G1526 not G3756 all G3956 of G1537 us G2257 .
|
20. Nevertheless you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
|
20. But G2532 ye G5210 have G2192 an unction G5545 from G575 the G3588 Holy One G40 , and G2532 ye know G1492 all things G3956 .
|
21. I have not written to you that you do not know the truth, but that you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
|
21. I have not G3756 written G1125 unto you G5213 because G3754 ye know G1492 not G3756 the G3588 truth G225 , but G235 because G3754 ye know G1492 it G846 , and G2532 that G3754 no G3956 G3756 lie G5579 is G2076 of G1537 the G3588 truth G225 .
|
22. Who is the liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the person who denies the Father and the Son.
|
22. Who G5101 is G2076 a liar G5583 but G1508 he that denieth G720 that G3754 Jesus G2424 is G2076 G3756 the G3588 Christ G5547 ? He G3778 is G2076 antichrist G500 , that denieth G720 the G3588 Father G3962 and G2532 the G3588 Son G5207 .
|
23. Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either. The person who confesses the Son has the Father also.
|
23. Whosoever G3956 denieth G720 the G3588 Son G5207 , the same hath G2192 not G3761 the G3588 Father G3962 : but he that acknowledgeth G3670 the G3588 Son G5207 hath G2192 the G3588 Father G3962 also G2532 .
|
24. As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
|
24. Let that therefore G3767 abide G3306 in G1722 you G5213 , which ye G5210 have heard G191 from G575 the beginning G746 . If G1437 that which G3739 ye have heard G191 from G575 the beginning G746 shall remain G3306 in G1722 you G5213 , ye G5210 also G2532 shall continue G3306 in G1722 the G3588 Son G5207 , and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 Father G3962 .
|
25. Now this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life.
|
25. And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the G3588 promise G1860 that G3739 he G846 hath promised G1861 us G2254 , even eternal G166 life G2222 ,
|
26. These things I have written to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
|
26. These G5023 things have I written G1125 unto you G5213 concerning G4012 them that seduce G4105 you G5209 .
|
27. Now as for you, the anointing that you received from him resides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as it has taught you, you reside in him.
|
27. But G2532 the G3588 anointing G5545 which G3739 ye G5210 have received G2983 of G575 him G846 abideth G3306 in G1722 you G5213 , and G2532 ye need G2192 G5532 not G3756 that G2443 any man G5100 teach G1321 you G5209 : but G235 as G5613 the G3588 same G846 anointing G5545 teacheth G1321 you G5209 of G4012 all things G3956 , and G2532 is G2076 truth G227 , and G2532 is G2076 no G3756 lie G5579 , and G2532 even as G2531 it hath taught G1321 you G5209 , ye shall abide G3306 in G1722 him G846 .
|
28. And now, little children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink away from him in shame when he comes back.
|
28. And G2532 now G3568 , little children G5040 , abide G3306 in G1722 him G846 ; that G2443 , when G3752 he shall appear G5319 , we may have G2192 confidence G3954 , and G2532 not G3361 be ashamed G153 before G575 him G846 at G1722 his G848 coming G3952 .
|
29. If you know that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by him.
|
29. If G1437 ye know G1492 that G3754 he is G2076 righteous G1342 , ye know G1097 that G3754 every one G3956 that doeth G4160 righteousness G1343 is born G1080 of G1537 him G846 .
