约翰一书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
2 我的孩子们，我写这些话给你们是为了叫你们不要犯罪。如果有人犯了罪，在父那里我们有一位护慰者，就是那位义者——耶稣基督。 2 祂为我们的罪作了赎罪祭，不只是为我们的罪，也是为全人类的罪。
3 我们若遵行上帝的命令，就知道自己认识祂。 4 若有人说“我认识祂”，却不遵行祂的命令，这人是说谎的，他心中没有真理。 5 遵行主话语的人是真正全心爱上帝的人，我们借此知道自己是在主里面。 6 所以，自称住在主里面的，就该在生活中效法基督。
新命令
7 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，我写给你们的并不是一条新命令，而是你们起初接受的旧命令，这旧命令就是你们已经听过的真道。 8 然而，我写给你们的也是新命令，在基督和你们身上都显明是真实的，因为黑暗渐渐过去，真光已经照耀出来。
9 若有人说自己在光明中，却恨他的弟兄姊妹，他就仍然活在黑暗里。 10 爱弟兄姊妹的人活在光明中，没有什么可以绊倒他[a]。 11 恨弟兄姊妹的人活在黑暗中，走在黑暗中，不知何去何从，因为黑暗弄瞎了他的眼睛。
12 孩子们，我写信给你们，因为靠着祂的名，你们的罪已经得到赦免。 13 父老们，我写信给你们，因为你们认识了从太初就存在的那位。年轻人，我写信给你们，因为你们已经战胜了那恶者。
14 孩子们，我曾写信给你们，因为你们认识了父。父老们，我曾写信给你们，因为你们认识了从太初就存在的那位。年轻人，我曾写信给你们，因为你们刚强，上帝的道常存在你们心里，并且你们战胜了那恶者。
15 不要爱世界和世上的事，因为人若爱世界，就不会再有爱父的心了。 16 凡属世界的，如肉体的私欲、眼目的私欲和今生的骄傲都不是从父那里来的，而是从世界来的。 17 这世界和其中一切的私欲都要过去，但遵守上帝旨意的人永远长存。
防备敌基督者
18 孩子们，现在是末世了。你们从前听说敌基督者要来，其实现在许多敌基督者已经出现了，由此可知，现在是末世了。 19 这些人是从我们中间出去的，但他们不属于我们。他们如果属于我们，就会留在我们当中了。他们的离去表明他们都不属于我们。
20 你们从那位圣者领受了圣灵[b]，所以你们明白真理。 21 我写信给你们不是因为你们不明白真理，而是因为你们明白真理，并且知道真理里面绝对没有谎言。 22 谁是说谎的呢？不就是那否认耶稣是基督的吗？那不承认父和子的就是敌基督者。 23 凡否认子的，也否认了父；凡承认子的，也承认了父。
24 你们务要把起初所听见的教导谨记在心，这样，你们必住在子和父里面。 25 主应许给我们的是永生。 26 以上的话是针对那些引诱你们离开正道的人写的。
顺从圣灵
27 你们既然从主领受了圣灵，圣灵又住在你们心中，就不需要其他人来教导你们，因为圣灵必会在一切事上指引你们。圣灵的教导是真实的，没有虚假，你们要按圣灵的教导住在主里面。 28 孩子们，你们要住在主里面。这样，当主显现的时候，就是祂再来的时候，我们便能坦然无惧，不会在祂面前羞愧。 29 既然你们知道主是公义的，也该知道所有按公义行事的人都是上帝的儿女。
1 John 2
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate(A) with the Father – Jesus Christ the righteous one. 2 He himself is the atoning sacrifice[a](B) for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.(C)
God’s Commands
3 This is how we know(D) that we know him: if we keep his commands.(E) 4 The one who says, ‘I have come to know him,’ and yet doesn’t keep his commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps his word,(F) truly in him the love of God is made complete. This is how we know we are in him:(G) 6 The one who says he remains in him(H) should walk just as he walked.
7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command(I) but an old command that you have had from the beginning. The old command is the word(J) you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away(K) and the true light(L) is already shining.(M) 9 The one who says he is in the light but hates his brother or sister(N) is in the darkness until now. 10 The one who loves his brother or sister(O) remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.[b] 11 But the one who hates his brother or sister(P) is in the darkness, walks in the darkness,(Q) and doesn’t know where he’s going,(R) because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Reasons for Writing
12 I am writing to you, little children,
since your sins have been forgiven
on account of his name.(S)
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
because you have come to know
the one who is from the beginning.(T)
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have conquered the evil one.(U)
14 I have written to you, children,
because you have come to know the Father.
I have written to you, fathers,
because you have come to know
the one who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
because you are strong,
God’s word(V) remains in you,
and you have conquered the evil one.
A Warning about the World
15 Do not love the world(W) or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world – the lust of the flesh,(X) the lust of the eyes,(Y) and the pride(Z) in one’s possessions – is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 And the world with its lust is passing away,(AA) but the one who does the will of God(AB) remains for ever.(AC)
The Last Hour
18 Children, it is the last hour.(AD) And as you have heard that antichrist(AE) is coming, even now many antichrists have come. By this we know that it is the last hour. 19 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. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.
20 But you have an anointing(AF) from the Holy One,(AG) and all of you know the truth.[c] 21 I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ?(AH) This one is the antichrist: the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father;(AI) he who confesses the Son has the Father as well.(AJ)
Remaining with God
24 What you have heard from the beginning is to remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son(AK) and in the Father.(AL) 25 And this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life.(AM)
26 I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need anyone to teach you. Instead, his anointing teaches you about all things(AN) and is true and is not a lie; just as it has taught you,[d] remain in him.(AO)
God’s Children
28 So now, little children, remain in him so that when he appears(AP) we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.(AQ) 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know this as well: Everyone who does what is right(AR) has been born of him.(AS)
1 John 2
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.

ଯୀଶୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସହାୟକ
2 ମୋର ପ୍ରିୟ ପିଲାମାନେ, ମୁଁ ଏହିସବୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲେଖୁଅଛି ଯେପରି, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପାପ ନ କର। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯଦି କେହି ପାପ କରେ, ଆମ୍ଭର ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯିଏ କି ଧାର୍ମିକ ଓ ଯିଏ ପିତାଙ୍କ ଛାମୁରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସପକ୍ଷବାଦୀ; ସେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିବେ। 2 ଯୀଶୁ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ପଥ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭର ସବୁ ପାପ ବହିନିଅନ୍ତି। କେବଳ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନୁହେଁ, ମାତ୍ର ସମସ୍ତ ଜଗତର ପାପ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେ ବହିନିଅନ୍ତି।
3 ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯଦି ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କର ଆଜ୍ଞା ପାଳନ କରୁ, ତେବେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସୁନିଶ୍ଚିତ ଯେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣିଛୁ। 4 ଯଦି କିଏ କୁହେ, “ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣେ,” କିନ୍ତୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞା ପାଳନ କରେ ନାହିଁ, ତେବେ ସେ ଜଣେ ମିଥ୍ୟାବାଦୀ। ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ସତ୍ୟ ନାହିଁ। 5 ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଳନ କରେ, ତା'ଠାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରେମର ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟ ସାଧିତ ହୋଇଛି। ଏହିଭଳି ଭାବେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କର ଅନୁଗମନ କରୁଛୁ ବୋଲି ଜାଣି ପାରିବା। 6 ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ସହ ଜୀବନଯାପନ କରୁଛୁ ବୋଲି ଦାବି କରୁଥିବା ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଭଳି ଜୀବନଯାପନ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍।
ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଭଲ ପାଅ
7 ପ୍ରିୟ ବନ୍ଧୁଗଣ! ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ କୌଣସି ନୂତନ ଆଜ୍ଞା ବିଷୟରେ ଲେଖୁ ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଏହା ସେହି ପୁରାତନ ଆଜ୍ଞା, ଯାହା ଆରମ୍ଭରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପାଇଅଛ। ଯେଉଁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଶୁଣିଅଛ, ତାହା ହିଁ ସେହି ଆଜ୍ଞା। 8 ପୁନଶ୍ଚ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଉ ଗୋଟିଏ ନୂତନ ଆଜ୍ଞା ବିଷୟରେ ଲେଖୁଛି, ଏହାର ସତ୍ୟତା ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କଠାରେ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଜୀବନରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଦେଖି ପାରିବ। କାରଣ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ଘୁଞ୍ଚି ଯାଉଅଛି ଓ ସତ୍ୟ ଜ୍ୟୋତିଃ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେଲାଣି।
9 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ଆଲୋକରେ ଅଛି ବୋଲି କୁହେ କିନ୍ତୁ ନିଜ ଭାଇକୁ ଘୃଣା କରେ, ତେବେ ସେ ଏପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଅନ୍ଧକାରରେ ରହିଛି। 10 ନିଜ ଭାଇକୁ ପ୍ରେମ କରୁଥିବା ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଆଲୋକରେ ବାସ କରୁଥାଏ ଏବଂ ତା'ଠାରେ ଭୁଲ୍ କାମ କରିବାର କୌଣସି କାରଣ ନ ଥାଏ। 11 କିନ୍ତୁ ନିଜ ଭାଇକୁ ଘୃଣା କରୁଥିବା ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଅନ୍ଧକାରରେ ଥାଏ। ସେ ଅନ୍ଧକାରରେ ବାସ କରେ। ସେ କେଉଁଆଡ଼େ ଯାଏ, ନିଜେ ଜାଣିପାରେ ନାହିଁ; କାରଣ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ତାକୁ ଅନ୍ଧ କରିଦେଇଥାଏ।
12 ପ୍ରିୟ ପିଲାମାନେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାପ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା କ୍ଷମା କରାଯାଇଥିବା କାରଣରୁ
ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲେଖୁଛି।
13 ପିତାମାନେ!
ଯେ ଆଦ୍ୟରୁ ଅଛନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଆରମ୍ଭରୁ ଜାଣିଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲେଖୁଛି।
ଯୁବକମାନେ!
ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପାପାତ୍ମାକୁ ପରାଜିତ କରିଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲେଖୁଛି।
14 ପିଲାମାନେ!
ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପରମ ପିତାଙ୍କୁ ଚିହ୍ନିସାରିଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲେଖୁଛି।
ପିତାମାନେ!
ସେ ଆଦ୍ୟରୁ ଅଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣିଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲେଖୁଛି।
ଯୁବକମାନେ!
ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ବଳବାନ
ଏବଂ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ୟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ଅଛି,
ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସେହି ପାପାତ୍ମାକୁ ପରାଜିତ କରିଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲେଖୁଛି।
15 ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସଂସାରକୁ ବା ସେଥିରେ ଥିବା ବିଷୟ ଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଭଲ ପାଅ ନାହିଁ। ଯଦି କେହି ସଂସାରକୁ ଭଲ ପାଏ, ତେବେ ପିତାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରେମ ତାହାଠାରେ ନାହିଁ। 16 ସଂସାରର ଏହି ବିଷୟ ଗୁଡ଼ିକ ମନ୍ଦ ଅଟେ। ଯଥା: ଆମ୍ଭର ପାପ ପ୍ରକୃତିକୁ ତୁଷ୍ଟ କରିବାକୁ ବିଭିନ୍ନ ଆକର୍ଷଣୀୟ ବିଷୟ ପାଇବାର ଇଚ୍ଛା; ଯେଉଁସବୁ ମନ୍ଦ ବିଷୟ ଆମ୍ଭର ଦୃଷ୍ଟିଗୋଚର ହୁଏ, ତାହା ପାଇବାର ଇଚ୍ଛା; ତଥା ଆମ୍ଭର ଯାହା ଅଛି, ତହିଁ ପାଇଁ ଗର୍ବ କରିବା। ଏ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ପରମପିତାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ନୁହେଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଏହି ସଂସାରରୁ ଆସିଅଛି। 17 ସଂସାର କ୍ଷୟ ପାଉଅଛି। ଏଥିସହିତ ସଂସାରରେ ଥିବା ବିଷୟ ଗୁଡ଼ିକ ମଧ୍ୟ କ୍ଷୟ ପାଉଅଛି। ମାତ୍ର ଯେ କେହି ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଇଚ୍ଛା ପାଳନ କରେ, ସେ ଅନନ୍ତକାଳ ଜୀବିତ ହୋଇ ରହିବ।
ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କର ପଥ ଅନୁସରଣ କର ନାହିଁ
18 ପିଲାମାନେ! ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଶେଷକାଳ ଆସି ପହଞ୍ଚିଲାଣି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେପରି ଶୁଣିଥିଲ, ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଶତ୍ରୁ ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି, ଏବେ ସେହିପରି ଅନେକ ସଂଖ୍ୟାରେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ବିରୋଧୀମାନେ ଦେଖା ଦେଲେଣି। ଏଥିରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣି ପାରୁଛୁ ଯେ, ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ଶେଷ କାଳ ଆସି ପହଞ୍ଚିଛି। 19 ଏହି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭ ଦଳରେ ଥିଲେ, ମାତ୍ର ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲେ। ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ଆମ୍ଭ ନିଜର ନ ଥିଲେ। ଯଦି ସେମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭ ନିଜର ହୋଇଥା’ନ୍ତେ, ତେବେ ସେମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ରହିଥା’ନ୍ତେ। ସେମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲେ ତେଣୁ, ଏହା ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ ରୂପେ ପ୍ରକାଶ ପାଇଲା ଯେ, ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ଆମ୍ଭର ନୁହନ୍ତି।
20 ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସେହି ପବିତ୍ର ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଦାନ[a] ପାଇଥିବାରୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସତ୍ୟକୁ ଜାଣିଛ। 21 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଲେଖିବାର କାରଣ କ’ଣ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସତ୍ୟକୁ ଜାଣି ନାହଁ ବୋଲି କ’ଣ ମୁଁ ଏହା ଲେଖୁଛି? ନା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ସତ୍ୟ ଜାଣିଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ଏହି ପତ୍ର ଲେଖୁଅଛି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଜାଣିଛ ସତ୍ୟରୁ କେବେ ହେଲେ କୌଣସି ମିଥ୍ୟା ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ।
22 ତେବେ ମିଥ୍ୟାବାଦୀ କିଏ? ଯୀଶୁ ଯେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଅଟନ୍ତି, ଏହା ଯେ ଅସ୍ୱୀକାର କରେ, ସେ ହେଉଛି ମିଥ୍ୟାବାଦୀ। ସେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କର ଶତ୍ରୁ। ସେ ପରମ ପିତା ଓ ପୁତ୍ର ଦୁହିଁଙ୍କୁ ଅସ୍ୱୀକାର କରେ। 23 ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରେ ନାହିଁ, ପିତା ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ବାସ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରେ, ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ପିତା ମଧ୍ୟ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
24 ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆରମ୍ଭରୁ ଯାହା ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଇଛ, ତାହା ପାଳନ କର। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯଦି ସେହି ଶିକ୍ଷା ଅନୁଯାୟୀ ଜୀବନ କାଟିବ, ତେବେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପିତା ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଓ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କଠାରେ ରହିବ। 25 ପୁତ୍ର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ଅନନ୍ତ ଜୀବନ ଦେବେ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଛନ୍ତି।
26 ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୁଲ୍ ପଥରେ କଢ଼ାଇ ନେବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରୁଛନ୍ତି, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି କଥା ଲେଖୁଛି। 27 ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏକ ବିଶେଷ ଦାନ ଦେଇଛନ୍ତି, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରେ ଏପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଅଛି। ଏଥିପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର କାହାଠାରୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ନେବା ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ନାହିଁ। ମାତ୍ର ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ସେହି ଦାନ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟରେ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଉଛି। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଇଥିବା ସେହି ଦାନ ସତ୍ୟ ଅଟେ, ମିଥ୍ୟା ନୁହେଁ। ତେଣୁ ତାହାଙ୍କର ସେହି ଦାନର ଶିକ୍ଷାନୁସାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କଠାରେ ଆଉ ଜୀବନଯାପନ କର।
28 ପ୍ରିୟ ପିଲାମାନେ, ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ରୁହ। ଏହା କଲେ, ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯେଉଁଦିନ ଆସିବେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଭରସାଯୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଭୟ କରିବା ନାହିଁ। ଯେଉଁଦିନ ସେ ଆସିବେ, ସେହି ଦିନ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ହେବାକୁ କିମ୍ବା ଆତ୍ମଗୋପନ କରିବାକୁ ପଡ଼ିବ ନାହିଁ। 29 ସେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ବୋଲି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିଛ। ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏହା ମଧ୍ୟ ଜାଣିରଖ ଯେ, ଧର୍ମାଚରଣ କରୁଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କର ସନ୍ତାନ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
