Young's Literal Translation
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 I
write
to you ,
that ye
may
not sin :
and
if any
one
may
sin, an advocate we
have
with
the Father ,
Jesus Christ, a
righteous one ,
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 --
he
is a
propitiation
for our sins, and not for ours only,
but also for the whole world ,
By
this we can
be
sure
that we have come
to
know
Him :
if we keep His
commandments.
and
in
this we know
that we have known
him ,
if his
commands
we may
keep ;
If
anyone
says
, “
I know
Him, ”
but
does
not
keep
His commandments,
he
is a liar, and the truth is not in
him.
he
who
is
saying
, `
I have
known
him, '
and
his command
is not
keeping,
a liar he
is
, and in
him
the truth is not ;
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 :
and
whoever
may
keep
his word, truly
in
him
the love of God hath
been perfected ;
in this we know that in him we
are.
Whoever
claims
to
abide
in Him must
walk
as Jesus
walked.
He
who
is
saying
in him he
doth
remain,
ought
according
as he
walked also
himself
so
to
walk
.
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
, a
new
command
I write
not to you, but an old command
, that
ye
had from the beginning --
the
old
command
is the word
that
ye
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
command
I write
to you, which thing
is true in him and in you ,
because
the darkness doth
pass
away,
and the true light doth
now
shine;
If
anyone
claims
to
be
in the light but
hates
his brother ,
he
is still
in the darkness .
he
who
is
saying,
in the light he
is,
and
his brother is hating,
in the darkness he
is
till
now;
Whoever
loves
his brother remains
in the light, and there
is
no
cause
of
stumbling in him .
he
who
is
loving
his brother ,
in the light he
doth
remain
, and a
stumbling -block
in him there
is
not;
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.
and
he
who
is
hating
his brother ,
in the darkness he
is,
and in the darkness he doth
walk,
and
he
hath
not known
whither
he doth
go
, because the darkness did
blind
his eyes.
I am
writing
to you, little children, because your
sins have been forgiven through His name .
I write
to you, little children, because the
sins have been forgiven you
through his name ;
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
to you, fathers, because ye
have
known
him who `
is '
from the beginning ;
I write
to you, young men, because ye
have overcome the evil. I write
to you, little
youths
, 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 did
write
to you, fathers, because ye
have
known
him who `
is '
from the beginning ;
I did
write
to you, young men, because ye
are strong, and the word of God in you doth
remain
, and ye
have overcome the evil.
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
ye
the world ,
nor
the
things
in the world ;
if any
one
doth
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 .
because
all that `
is '
in the world --
the desire
of the flesh, and
the desire
of the eyes, and the ostentation
of the
life --
is not of
the Father ,
but of
the world ,
The world is
passing
away, along
with
its
desires;
but
whoever
does
the will of God remains
forever
.
and
the world doth
pass
away, and
the desire
of
it,
and
he
who
is
doing
the
will of God ,
he
doth
remain
--
to
the
age
.
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
youths
, it is the last hour; and even
as ye
heard that the antichrist doth
come
, even
now antichrists have become
many
--
whence
we know that
it is the last hour ;
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.
out of
us they
went
forth
, but they were
not of
us ,
for if they had been
of
us, they would have remained with us ;
but --
that they
might
be
manifested
that
they
are
not
all
of us.
You,
however,
have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of
you
know
the
truth.
And
ye
have an anointing from the Holy One, and have
known
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 did
not write
to you because ye
have
not
known
the truth, but because ye
have known
it, and because 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 the liar, except
he
who is
denying
that Jesus is the Christ? this one
is the antichrist who is
denying
the Father and the Son ;
Whoever
denies
the Son does
not
have
the Father, but
whoever
confesses
the Son has
the Father as
well
.
every
one
who
is
denying
the Son ,
neither
hath
he
the Father, `he
who
is
confessing
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 .
Ye
, then,
that
which
ye
heard from the beginning ,
in you let
it remain;
if
in
you may
remain that
which
from
the
beginning
ye
did
hear,
ye
also
in the Son and in the Father shall
remain,
And this is the promise that He Himself
made
to
us :
eternal
life.
and this is the promise that He did
promise
us --
the
life the
age-during
.
I
have
written
these things to you about
those who
are
trying
to
deceive
you .
These things I
did
write
to you concerning
those leading
you astray;
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 you, the anointing that
ye
did
receive
from him ,
in you it
doth
remain
, and ye
have
no
need that
any
one
may
teach you ,
but as the
same
anointing doth
teach
you concerning
all, and
is
true,
and
is
not
a
lie,
and
even
as
was
taught
you,
ye
shall
remain 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, remain in him
, that when he may
be
manifested
, we may have
boldness,
and may
not
be
ashamed
before him ,
in
his presence;
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, know ye
that every
one
doing
the
righteousness ,
of him hath
been
begotten
.
