約翰一書 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
2 我的孩子們，我寫這些話給你們是為了叫你們不要犯罪。如果有人犯了罪，在父那裡我們有一位護慰者，就是那位義者——耶穌基督。 2 祂為我們的罪作了贖罪祭，不只是為我們的罪，也是為全人類的罪。
3 我們若遵行上帝的命令，就知道自己認識祂。 4 若有人說「我認識祂」，卻不遵行祂的命令，這人是說謊的，他心中沒有真理。 5 遵行主話語的人是真正全心愛上帝的人，我們藉此知道自己是在主裡面。 6 所以，自稱住在主裡面的，就該在生活中效法基督。
新命令
7 親愛的弟兄姊妹，我寫給你們的並不是一條新命令，而是你們起初接受的舊命令，這舊命令就是你們已經聽過的真道。 8 然而，我寫給你們的也是新命令，在基督和你們身上都顯明是真實的，因為黑暗漸漸過去，真光已經照耀出來。
9 若有人說自己在光明中，卻恨他的弟兄姊妹，他就仍然活在黑暗裡。 10 愛弟兄姊妹的人活在光明中，沒有什麼可以絆倒他[a]。 11 恨弟兄姊妹的人活在黑暗中，走在黑暗中，不知何去何從，因為黑暗弄瞎了他的眼睛。
12 孩子們，我寫信給你們，因為靠著祂的名，你們的罪已經得到赦免。 13 父老們，我寫信給你們，因為你們認識了從太初就存在的那位。年輕人，我寫信給你們，因為你們已經戰勝了那惡者。
14 孩子們，我曾寫信給你們，因為你們認識了父。父老們，我曾寫信給你們，因為你們認識了從太初就存在的那位。年輕人，我曾寫信給你們，因為你們剛強，上帝的道常存在你們心裡，並且你們戰勝了那惡者。
15 不要愛世界和世上的事，因為人若愛世界，就不會再有愛父的心了。 16 凡屬世界的，如肉體的私慾、眼目的私慾和今生的驕傲都不是從父那裡來的，而是從世界來的。 17 這世界和其中一切的私慾都要過去，但遵守上帝旨意的人永遠長存。
防備敵基督者
18 孩子們，現在是末世了。你們從前聽說敵基督者要來，其實現在許多敵基督者已經出現了，由此可知，現在是末世了。 19 這些人是從我們中間出去的，但他們不屬於我們。他們如果屬於我們，就會留在我們當中了。他們的離去表明他們都不屬於我們。
20 你們從那位聖者領受了聖靈[b]，所以你們明白真理。 21 我寫信給你們不是因為你們不明白真理，而是因為你們明白真理，並且知道真理裡面絕對沒有謊言。 22 誰是說謊的呢？不就是那否認耶穌是基督的嗎？那不承認父和子的就是敵基督者。 23 凡否認子的，也否認了父；凡承認子的，也承認了父。
24 你們務要把起初所聽見的教導謹記在心，這樣，你們必住在子和父裡面。 25 主應許給我們的是永生。 26 以上的話是針對那些引誘你們離開正道的人寫的。
順從聖靈
27 你們既然從主領受了聖靈，聖靈又住在你們心中，就不需要其他人來教導你們，因為聖靈必會在一切事上指引你們。聖靈的教導是真實的，沒有虛假，你們要按聖靈的教導住在主裡面。 28 孩子們，你們要住在主裡面。這樣，當主顯現的時候，就是祂再來的時候，我們便能坦然無懼，不會在祂面前羞愧。 29 既然你們知道主是公義的，也該知道所有按公義行事的人都是上帝的兒女。
約 翰 一 書 2
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣是我们的助手
2 我亲爱的孩子，我写信告诉你们这些事，是为了让你们不再犯罪。但是如果有人犯罪，我们有耶稣基督来帮助我们。他是那位义者，他会在上帝面前为我们辩护。 2 耶稣是除去我们罪孽的祭品，他不仅仅只是为了我们，也是为全人类而牺牲的。
3 如果我们遵守上帝的命令，我们就能肯定，我们真正地认识上帝。 4 如果一个人说“我认识上帝！”，但却不遵守上帝的命令，他就是说谎者，真理就不在他之中。 5 遵守上帝教导的人，他对上帝的爱在他之中会真正地得以实现。这就是我们如何知道我们在遵守上帝的教导的方法： 6 如果一个人说自己生活在上帝之中，他就必须像耶稣那样生活。
上帝告诉我们爱人
7 亲爱的朋友，我写给你们的不是一条新的命令，它是那条你们从一开始就接受了的命令，这条旧命令是你们已经听过的教导。 8 然而，我还是把这条命令做为新的命令写给你们。这条命令是真实的，你们能在基督和你们自己的生活中看到它的真理。黑暗已经逝去，真正的光已在闪烁。
9 如果有人说他生活在光之中，但却憎恨他的兄弟，那么，他仍然生活在黑暗（罪）之中。 10 爱自己兄弟的人才生活在这光之中。在他之中，没有任何使人犯罪的东西！ 11 憎恨兄弟的人处在黑暗之中。他生活在黑暗之中，不知自己要去何方，因为黑暗使他盲目。
12 亲爱的孩子，我写信给你们，
因为你们的罪恶已通过基督而得到宽恕。
13 我写信给你们做父亲的，
因为你们知道从一开始就存在的那位。
我写信给你们年轻人，
因为你们战胜了那个邪恶者（魔鬼）。
14 孩子们，我写信给你们，
因为你们认识父。
我写信给你们做父亲的，
因为你们知道一开始就存在的那位。
我写信给你们年轻人，
因为你们强壮有力，
上帝的信息生活在你们之中。
你们已战胜了那个邪恶者。
15 不要爱这个世界或世上的东西。如果一个人爱这个世界，他心中就没有对上帝的爱。 16 这些是世上的邪恶事物：
满足我们罪恶自我的欲望；
对我们所见的罪恶事物的欲望
和对我们拥有的东西骄傲。
这些东西都不是来自于父（上帝），而是来自于这个世界。 17 这个世界正在消逝，人们在世上所欲望的东西也在消逝。但是，执行上帝旨意的人会永远活着。
不要跟随基督的敌人
18 我的孩子，终结近在咫尺。你们已经听说基督的敌人要来。他的许多敌人已经出现在这里了。所以我们知道终结临近了。 19 基督的敌人曾在我们中间，但是他们已离开了我们。他们从来就没有真正地属于过我们。假如他们真正属于我们，他们就会和我们呆在一起。但是，他们离开了，这就表明他们没人真正属于我们。
20 你们都领受了那位圣者（上帝或基督）给你们的恩赐，所以你们都应该认识真理。 21 我写信给你们，不是因为你们不认识真理，而是因为你们的确认识真理，并且知道谎言不会出自真理。
22 那么谁是说谎者呢？不正是否认耶稣是基督的人吗？这种人就是基督的敌人，他既不信仰父，也不信仰他的儿子（基督）。 23 不信仰子（基督）的人，就没有父；接受子的人，就有父。
24 你们必须继续服从你们一开始所听到的教导，这样，你们就会在子（基督）和父（上帝）之中。 25 这就是基督应许给我们的永生。
26 我写这封信给你们，是关于那些企图引诱你们误入歧途的人。 27 基督给了你们一份特殊的恩赐 [a]。这份恩赐仍然在你们之中。所以你们不需要任何人去教导你们。给你们的恩赐会把一切事情教导给你们的。这恩赐是真实的，不是虚假的。所以，你们要继续生活在基督之中，就像他给你们的恩赐教导你们的那样。
28 所以，我亲爱的孩子，你们要生活在基督之中，这样，在他再来的那天，我们就可以无所畏惧（有信心），就不会躲藏或感到羞愧。 29 你们知道耶稣是正义的（好的），所以你们知道：所有做正义（好）事情的人，都是上帝的孩子。

1 John 2
Authorized (King James) Version
2 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 ours 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: [but] 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.

King James Version
2 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 ours 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.
