1 John 2
Revised Geneva Translation
2 My little children, these things I write to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father: Jesus Christ, the Just.
2 And He is the reconciliation for our sins; and not only for ours, but also for the whole world.
3 And by this we are sure that we know Him: if we keep His Commandments.
4 The one who says, “I know him,” and does not keep His Commandments, is a liar. And the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His Word, in him is the love of God accomplished. By this we know that we are in Him.
6 Whoever says that he remains in Him, ought still to walk as He has walked.
7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old Commandment which you have had from the beginning. This old Commandment is that Word which you have heard from the beginning.
8 On the other hand, a new Commandment I do write to you (which is true in Him and also in you). For the darkness is passing, and the true Light now shines.
9 Whoever says that he is in the Light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 Whoever loves his brother, abides in the Light. And there is no stumbling block in him.
11 But whoever hates his brother, is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Little children, I write to you because your sins are forgiven for His Name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him Who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known 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 wicked one.
15 Love neither this world nor the things which are in this world. If anyone loves this world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in this world (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life), is not of the Father, but is of this world.
17 And this world passes away, and the lust thereof. But whoever fulfills the will of God, abides forever.
18 Little children, it is the last hour. And just as you have heard that Antichrist shall come, so now there are many Antichrists (by which we know that it is the last hour).
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But this is so that all of those who were not of us are revealed.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One and know all things.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it (and no lie comes from the truth).
22 Who is a liar, except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father.
24 Therefore, let that same which you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you shall also continue in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that He has promised us: eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who deceive you.
27 But that anointing which you received from Him dwells in you. And you do not need anyone to teach you. But as that same anointing teaches you of all things - and it is true, and not lying, and as it is taught to you - you shall abide in Him.
28 And now, little children, abide in Him. So that when He shall appear, we may be bold and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that whoever does righteously is born of Him.
1 John 2
BRG Bible
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 our’s 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.
1 Johannesbrevet 2
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
2 Mina kära barn, jag berättar detta för er för att ni ska hålla er borta från synden. Men om ni syndar, finns det någon som ber för er inför Fadern. Hans namn är Jesus Kristus, den ende som är alltigenom god och som helt gör Guds vilja.
2 Det var han som tog straffet för våra synder på sig och förde oss in i gemenskap med Gud. Genom honom får vi förlåtelse för våra synder, och inte bara vi, utan hela världen.
3 Hur kan vi vara säkra på att vi tillhör honom? Jo, genom att hålla hans bud. Försöker vi då verkligen göra vad han vill att vi ska göra?
4 Någon kanske säger: Jag är kristen. Jag är på väg till himlen. Jag tillhör Jesus. Men om han inte gör vad Jesus har sagt att han ska göra, är han en lögnare.
5 Den däremot som lyder hans ord lever ett liv genomlyst av Guds kärlek. Så kan ni alltså veta om ni är kristna eller inte.
6 Den som säger att han är kristen måste leva som Kristus gjorde.
7 Kära bröder, det är inte något nytt bud jag skriver till er om. Det är ett gammalt bud, som ni alltid har haft, ända från början. Ni har hört det förut.
8 Ändå är det nytt, för genom Jesus och hans exempel blev det verklighet och så är det också i era liv. När vi älskar varandra försvinner mörkret i våra liv, och det nya ljuset från livet i Jesus Kristus har börjat lysa.
9 Den som säger att han vandrar i det ljuset men hatar sin kristne bror, han är fortfarande kvar i mörkret.
10 Men den som älskar sin kristne bror vandrar i ljuset och kan se hur han går och behöver inte snubbla i mörkret och falla i synd.
11 Den som hatar sin kristne bror vandrar däremot omkring i andligt mörker och vet inte vart han går, för mörkret har förblindat honom så att han inte kan se vägen.
Älska inte denna onda värld
12 Jag skriver detta till er alla, mina kära barn, för era synder har blivit förlåtna i Jesus, vår Frälsares, namn.
13 Det gäller er som har vandrat länge med Herren och väl känner honom som är evig. Det gäller er som står starka efter att ha vunnit er kamp mot Satan.
14 Ja, det gäller er som nyligen har lärt känna Gud, vår Far, liksom det gäller er som känner honom väl sedan många år, och er som är starka i er tro och som med Guds ord i er har vunnit er kamp mot Satan.
15 Sluta att älska denna onda värld och allt den erbjuder er. Om ni älskar den visar det att Guds kärlek inte behärskar era liv.
16-17 Allt vad världen har av självförverkligande, habegär och statussymboler kommer nämligen inte från Gud. Det kommer från den onda värld som ska försvinna tillsammans med allt som tillhör den. Men den som fortsätter att göra Guds vilja ska leva i evighet.
Antikrist kommer
18 Kära barn, den här världens sista timme är slagen. Ni har hört om att Antikrist ska komma - han som är emot Kristus. Många som representerar honom har vi redan sett. Det gör oss ännu mer övertygade om att tidens slut är nära.
19 Dessa kristusfientliga människor har varit medlemmar i våra församlingar, men var egentligen aldrig en del av oss. Genom att lämna oss bevisade de att de inte alls tillhör oss.
20 Men ni är inte sådana, för den helige Ande har kommit till er, och ni känner till sanningen.
21 Därför skriver jag inte till er som jag skulle göra till dem som behöver lära känna sanningen, men jag vill varna er, eftersom ni kan skilja mellan sant och falskt.
22 Vem är den störste lögnaren? Är det inte den som säger att Jesus inte är Kristus. Det är Antikrist, som därmed förnekar både Fadern och Sonen.
23 Den som inte tror på Jesus Kristus, Guds Son, kan inte heller ha gemenskap med Fadern. Men den som har gemenskap med Sonen har det också med Fadern.
24 Fortsätt därför att tro det som ni har blivit undervisade om från början. Då kommer ni alltid att leva i nära gemenskap både med Gud Fadern, och med hans Son.
25 Då har vi också del i hans löfte till oss om evigt liv.
26 Dessa anmärkningar om Antikrist är riktade särskilt till dem som gärna vill binda för era ögon och leda er vilse.
27 Men ni har tagit emot den helige Ande, och när han bor i er behöver ni ingen annan som talar om för er vad som är rätt. Han undervisar er nämligen om allt, och han är Sanningen. Se till att han får leva i er och att ni gör vad han har sagt.
28 Ja, mina kära barn, lev kvar i gemenskap med Kristus. Då vet ni att allt står rätt till med er när han kommer och att vi inte behöver skämmas för att möta honom utan med glädje kan se honom i ögonen.
29 Eftersom vi vet att Gud alltid är god och bara handlar rätt, så kan vi med all rätt veta att alla som handlar rätt är hans barn.

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.
