Chapter 2
|
1
|
My little children, these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate
with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: |
2
|
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for
our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world. |
3
|
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep
his commandments. |
4
|
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him. |
5
|
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love
of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. |
6
|
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also
so to walk, even as he walked. |
7
|
Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but
an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The
old commandment is the word which ye have heard from
the beginning. |
8
|
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing
is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past,
and the true light now shineth. |
9
|
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother,
is in darkness even until now. |
10
|
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion of stumbling in him. |
11
|
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and
walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth,
because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. |
12
|
I write unto you, little children, because your sins
are forgiven you for his name's sake. |
13
|
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him
that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men,
because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto
you, little children, because ye have known the Father. |
14
|
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known
him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you,
young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God
abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. |
15
|
Love not the world, neither the things that are in
the world. If any man love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. |
16
|
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world. |
17
|
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but
he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. |
18
|
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have
heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there
many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last
time. |
19
|
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for
if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued
with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest
that they were not all of us. |
20
|
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know
all things. |
21
|
I have not written unto you because ye know not the
truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of
the truth. |
22
|
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the
Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and
the Son. |
23
|
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. |
24
|
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard
from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from
the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue
in the Son, and in the Father. |
25
|
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even
eternal life. |
26
|
These things have I written unto you concerning them
that seduce you. |
27
|
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth
in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as
the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is
truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him. |
28
|
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when
he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed
before him at his coming. |
29
|
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every
one that doeth righteousness is born of him. |
