| 1st-John 2:1 | My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just: | Dear children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. If any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous; | My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one: |
| 1st-John 2:2 | And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. | and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. | He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world. |
| 1st-John 2:3 | And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments. | And by this we may know that we know Him if we obey His commands. | And by this we may be certain that we have knowledge of him, if we keep his laws. |
| 1st-John 2:4 | He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. | He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart. | The man who says, I have knowledge of him, and does not keep his laws, is false, and there is nothing true in him: |
| 1st-John 2:5 | But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him. | But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him. | But in every man who keeps his word, the love of God is made complete. By this we may be certain that we are in him: |
| 1st-John 2:6 | He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked. | The man who professes to be continuing in Him is himself also bound to live as He lived. | He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did. |
| 1st-John 2:7 | Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard. | My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received. | My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears. |
| 1st-John 2:8 | Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth. | And yet I *am* giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine. | Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out. |
| 1st-John 2:9 | He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. | Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness. | He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark. |
| 1st-John 2:10 | He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him. | He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others. | He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him. |
| 1st-John 2:11 | But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. | But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. | But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark. |
| 1st-John 2:12 | I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. | I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you. | I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name. |
| 1st-John 2:13 | I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. | I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very 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 am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father. |
| 1st-John 2:14 | I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one. | I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one. | I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One. |
| 1st-John 2:15 | Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. | Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father. | Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
| 1st-John 2:16 | For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world. | For the things in the world the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life they all come, not from the Father, but from the world. | Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world. |
| 1st-John 2:17 | And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. | And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever. | And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever. |
| 1st-John 2:18 | Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour. | Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come. | Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour. |
| 1st-John 2:19 | They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us. | They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us. | They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us. |
| 1st-John 2:20 | But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things. | As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge. | And you have the Spirit from the Holy One and you all have knowledge. |
| 1st-John 2:21 | I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth. | I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth. | I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true. |
| 1st-John 2:22 | Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son. | Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ. | Who is false but he who says that Jesus is not the Christ? He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son. |
| 1st-John 2:23 | Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also. | No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father. | He who has no belief in the Son has not the Father: he who makes clear his belief in the Son has the Father. |
| 1st-John 2:24 | As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. | As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father. | But as for you, keep in your hearts the things which were made clear to you from the first. If you keep these things in your hearts you will be kept in the Father and the Son. |
| 1st-John 2:25 | And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting. | And this is the promise which He Himself has given us the Life of the Ages. | And this is the hope which he gave you, even eternal life. |
| 1st-John 2:26 | These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you. | I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray. | I am writing these things to you about those whose purpose is that you may be turned out of the true way. |
| 1st-John 2:27 | And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him. | And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things and is true and is no falsehood you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do. | As for you, the Spirit which he gave you is still in you, and you have no need of any teacher; but as his Spirit gives you teaching about all things, and is true and not false, so keep your hearts in him, through the teaching which he has given you. |
| 1st-John 2:28 | And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by him at his coming. | And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming. | And now, my children, keep your hearts in him; so that at his revelation, we may have no fear or shame before him at his coming. |
| 1st-John 2:29 | If you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him. | Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His. | If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring. |
