Berean Standard Bible
My little children, these things write
I
unto
you that ye
may
not sin. And
if any
man
sin, we have an Advocate with
the Father ,
Jesus Christ the righteous :
My little children, I
am
writing
these things to
you so
that you
will
not sin. But
if anyone
does
sin, we have an advocate before
the Father —
Jesus Christ ,
the Righteous One.
and
he is the propitiation
for our sins ;
and not for ours only,
but also for the whole world.
He Himself
is the atoning
sacrifice
for our sins ,
and not only
for ours but also for the sins
of
the
whole world.
And
hereby
we know
that we know him ,
if we keep his commandments.
By
this
we can
be
sure
that we have
come
to
know Him :
if we keep His commandments.
He
that
saith
, I know him, and
keepeth
not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him ;
If
anyone
says
, “
I know Him, ”
but
does
not keep
His commandments, he
is a liar, and the truth is not in him .
but whoso
keepeth
his word, in
him
verily
hath
the love of God been perfected. Hereby
we know that we are in him:
But if
anyone
keeps
His word, the love of God has
been truly
perfected in
him
. By
this
we know that we are in Him:
he
that
saith
he
abideth
in him ought
himself
also
to
walk even
as he
walked.
Whoever
claims
to
abide
in Him must
walk as Jesus
walked.
Beloved, no
new
commandment
write
I unto
you, but an old commandment
which ye
had from the beginning :
the
old
commandment is the word
which
ye
heard.
Beloved, I am
not
writing
to
you a
new
commandment
, but an old one,
which you
have
had from the beginning .
This
commandment is the message
you
have
heard.
Again, a new commandment write
I
unto
you
, which thing
is true in him and in you ;
because
the darkness is passing
away,
and the true light already shineth
.
Then
again, I
am
also
writing
to
you
a new commandment, which is true in Him and also
in you .
For
the darkness is fading
and the true light is
already shining
.
He
that
saith
he
is
in the light and
hateth
his brother, is in the darkness even
until
now
.
If
anyone
claims
to
be
in the light but
hates
his brother, he
is still
in the darkness.
He
that
loveth
his brother abideth
in the light, and there is no occasion
of stumbling in him.
Whoever
loves
his brother remains
in the light, and there is no cause
of stumbling in him.
But he
that
hateth
his brother is in the darkness ,
and walketh
in the darkness ,
and
knoweth
not whither
he goeth
, because the darkness hath
blinded his eyes.
But whoever
hates
his brother is in the darkness and walks
in the darkness .
He
does
not know
where
he is
going
, because the darkness has
blinded his eyes.
I write
unto
you, `my'
little children, because your sins are
forgiven you
for
his name's
sake
.
I am
writing
to
you, little children, because your sins have
been
forgiven through
His name
.
I write
unto
you, fathers, because ye
know him who is from the beginning. I write
unto
you, young men, because ye
have overcome the evil one. I have written unto
you, little
children, because ye
know the Father.
I am
writing
to
you, fathers, because you
know Him who is from the beginning. I am
writing
to
you, young men, because you
have overcome the evil one. I have written to
you, children, because you
know the Father.
I have written unto
you, fathers, because ye
know him who 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 evil one.
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 abides
in you, and you
have overcome the evil one.
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.
Do
not love
the world or
anything
in the world. If anyone
loves
the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world ,
the lust
of the flesh and
the lust
of the eyes and the vain
glory
of life ,
is not of
the Father ,
but is
of
the world.
For all that is in the world —
the desires
of the flesh ,
the desires
of the eyes ,
and the pride
of life —
is not from
the Father but from
the world.
And
the world passeth
away, and
the
lust
thereof:
but he
that
doeth
the will of God abideth
for
ever
.
The world is
passing
away, along
with
its
desires;
but whoever
does
the will of God remains
forever
.
Little
children, it is the last hour :
and as ye
heard that antichrist cometh
, even
now have
there
arisen
many antichrists ;
whereby
we know that
it is the last hour.
Children, it is the last hour ;
and just
as you
have
heard that the
antichrist is
coming
, so
now many antichrists have
appeared.
This
is
how
we know it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they were
not of
us ;
for if they had been
of
us, they would have continued
with us :
but `they
went
out',
that
they
might
be
made manifest
that they
all
are
not
of us.
They went out from us, but they did
not belong
to
us .
For if they had belonged
to
us, they would have remained
with us .
But their
departure
made it
clear
that none
of them
belonged
to
us.
And
ye
have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye
know
all the things
.
You,
however,
have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of
you
know
the truth
.
I have not written unto
you because ye
know
not
the truth, but because ye
know
it, and because no lie is
of
the truth.
I have not written to
you because you
lack
knowledge
of
the truth, but because you
have
it, and because no lie comes
from
the truth.
Who is the liar but
he
that
denieth
that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, `even'
he
that
denieth
the Father and the Son.
Who is the liar ,
if
it
is
not
the
one
who
denies
that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who
denies
the Father and the Son.
Whosoever
denieth
the Son ,
the
same
hath
not the Father :
he
that
confesseth
the Son hath
the Father also
.
Whoever
denies
the Son does
not have
the Father ,
but
whoever
confesses
the Son has
the Father as
well
.
As for you, let that
abide
in
you which
ye
heard
from
the
beginning.
If
that
which
ye
heard from the beginning abide
in you, ye
also shall
abide
in the Son ,
and in the Father.
As for you, let what
you have
heard from the beginning remain
in you .
If
it
does
, you
will
also remain
in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which
he promised
us ,
`even'
the
life
eternal.
And this is the promise that
He Himself
made
to
us :
eternal life
.
These
things
have
I written unto
you concerning
them
that
would
lead
you astray
.
I have
written these
things
to
you about
those
who
are
trying
to
deceive
you.
And as for you, the anointing which
ye
received of
him abideth
in you, and ye
need
not that
any
one
teach you ;
but as his anointing teacheth
you ;
concerning
all things, and
is
true,
and
is
no
lie,
and
even
as
it
taught
you,
ye
abide
in him.
And as for you, the anointing you
received from
Him remains
in you, and you
do
not need
anyone
to
teach you .
But just
as His true
and
genuine
anointing teaches
you about
all things, so
remain
in Him as
you
have
been
taught
.
And now, `my'
little children, abide
in him;
that
, if
he shall
be
manifested
, we may have
boldness,
and
not
be ashamed
before him at his coming.
And now, little children, remain
in Christ
, so
that
when
He appears
, we may be confident
and
unashamed
before Him at His coming.
If ye
know that he is righteous, ye
know
that
every
one
also that doeth
righteousness is
begotten
of him.
If you
know that He is righteous, you
also know
that everyone
who
practices
righteousness has
been
born
of Him.
