King James Version
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.
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 :
He Himself
is the atoning
sacrifice
for our sins ,
and not only
for ours
but also for the sins of the whole world.
And
he is the propitiation
for our sins :
and not for our's
only,
but also for the sins of the whole world.
By
this
we can
be
sure
that we have
come
to
know Him :
if we keep His commandments.
And
hereby
we do
know
that we know him ,
if we keep his commandments.
If
anyone
says
, “
I know Him, ”
but
does
not keep
His commandments, he
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
He
that
saith
, I know him, and
keepeth
not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not 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 :
But whoso
keepeth
his word, in
him
verily
is
the love of God perfected :
hereby
know we
that we are in him .
Whoever
claims
to
abide
in Him must
walk as Jesus
walked.
He
that
saith
he
abideth
in him ought
himself
also
so
to
walk ,
even
as he
walked.
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
If
anyone
claims
to
be
in the light but
hates
his brother, he
is still
in the
darkness.
He
that
saith
he
is
in the light ,
and
hateth
his brother, is in darkness even
until
now
.
Whoever
loves
his brother remains
in the light, and there is no
cause
of stumbling in him.
He
that
loveth
his brother abideth
in the light, and there is none
occasion
of stumbling in him.
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.
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.
I am
writing
to
you, little children, because your sins have
been
forgiven through
His name
.
I write
unto
you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you
for
his name's
sake
.
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 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.
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.
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.
Do
not
love the world or
anything
in the world. If anyone
loves
the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
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.
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.
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.
The world is
passing
away, along
with
its
desires;
but whoever
does
the will of God remains
forever
.
And
the world passeth
away, and
the
lust
thereof:
but he
that
doeth
the will of God abideth
for
ever
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
You,
however,
have an anointing
from the Holy One, and all
of
you
know the
truth
.
But
ye
have an unction
from the Holy One, and ye
know all
things
.
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.
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.
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.
Who is a
liar but
he
that denieth
that
Jesus is the Christ? He
is antichrist, that
denieth
the Father and the Son.
Whoever
denies
the Son does
not have
the Father ,
but
whoever
confesses
the Son has
the Father as
well
.
Whosoever
denieth
the Son ,
the
same
hath
not the Father :
he
that
acknowledgeth
the Son hath
the Father also
.
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.
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.
And this is the promise that He Himself
made
to
us :
eternal life.
And this is the promise that he hath
promised
us ,
even
eternal life.
I
have
written
these things to
you about
those
who
are
trying
to
deceive
you.
These things have
I
written
unto
you concerning
them
that
seduce
you.
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.
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
.
And now, little children, remain
in Christ,
so
that when He appears
, we may be
confident
and unashamed
before Him at His coming.
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.
If you
know that He is righteous, you
also
know that everyone
who
practices
righteousness has
been
born of Him.
If ye
know that he is righteous, ye
know that every
one
that
doeth
righteousness is
born of him.
