1 John 2
New Living Translation
1 John 2
New Living Translation
2 My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. 2 He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
3 And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 4 If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 5 But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. 6 Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
A New Commandment
7 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. 8 Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.
9 If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a fellow believer,[a] that person is still living in darkness. 10 Anyone who loves a fellow believer[b] is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.
12 I am writing to you who are God’s children
because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.[c]
13 I am writing to you who are mature in the faith[d]
because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning.
I am writing to you who are young in the faith
because you have won your battle with the evil one.
14 I have written to you who are God’s children
because you know the Father.
I have written to you who are mature in the faith
because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning.
I have written to you who are young in the faith
because you are strong.
God’s word lives in your hearts,
and you have won your battle with the evil one.
Do Not Love This World
15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
Warning about Antichrists
18 Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come. 19 These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.
20 But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit,[e] and all of you know the truth. 21 So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies. 22 And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ.[f] Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.[g] 23 Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. 25 And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.
26 I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray. 27 But you have received the Holy Spirit,[h] and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit[i] teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.
Living as Children of God
28 And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.
29 Since we know that Christ is righteous, we also know that all who do what is right are God’s children.

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Si Cristo ang Ating Tagapagtanggol
2 Mahal kong mga anak, isinusulat ko ang mga ito sa inyo upang hindi kayo magkasala. Ngunit kung magkasala ang sinuman, mayroon tayong Tagapagtanggol sa harap ng Ama, si Jesu-Cristo na matuwid. 2 Siya ang inialay bilang kabayaran sa ating mga kasalanan, hindi lamang sa ating mga kasalanan kundi maging ng buong sanlibutan.
3 Sa pamamagitan nito, natitiyak nating kilala natin siya, kung sinusunod natin ang kanyang mga utos. 4 Ang sinumang nagsasabing, “Kilala ko ang Diyos,” subalit hindi naman sumusunod sa kanyang mga utos ay isang sinungaling; wala sa taong iyon ang katotohanan. 5 Ngunit ang sinumang tumutupad sa salita ng Diyos, magiging ganap ang kanyang pag-ibig sa Diyos. Sa pamamagitan nito ay matitiyak natin na tayo ay nasa kanya. 6 Ang sinumang nagsasabing nananatili siya sa Diyos ay dapat mamuhay kung paano namuhay si Jesus.
Ang Bagong Utos
7 Mga minamahal, hindi isang bagong utos ang isinusulat ko sa inyo. Sa halip, ito ay dating utos na tinanggap na ninyo noong una pa man. Ang utos na ito'y ang salita na inyo nang narinig. 8 Gayunman, bagong utos ang isinusulat ko sa inyo, na totoong nasa kanya at nasa inyo, sapagkat ang kadiliman ay naglalaho at ang tunay na liwanag ay tumatanglaw na. 9 Ang sinumang nagsasabing siya ay nasa liwanag subalit napopoot naman siya sa kanyang kapatid ay nasa kadiliman pa. 10 Ang sinumang nagmamahal sa kanyang kapatid ay nananatili sa liwanag, at hindi siya matitisod sa anuman. 11 Ngunit ang sinumang napopoot sa kanyang kapatid ay nasa kadiliman, at namumuhay pa sa kadiliman. Hindi niya alam kung saan siya pumupunta sapagkat binulag siya ng kadiliman.
12 Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga anak,
sapagkat pinatawad na ang inyong mga kasalanan dahil sa kanyang pangalan.
13 Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga ama,
sapagkat kilala na ninyo siya na buhat pa sa simula ay naroon na.
Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga kabataan,
sapagkat napagtagumpayan na ninyo ang Masama.
14 Sumusulat ako sa inyo, munting mga anak,
sapagkat kilala na ninyo ang Ama.
Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga ama,
sapagkat kilala na ninyo siya na buhat pa sa simula ay naroon na.
Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga kabataan,
sapagkat kayo ay malalakas.
Ang salita ng Diyos ay nananatili sa inyo,
at napagtagumpayan na ninyo ang Masama.
15 Huwag ninyong ibigin ang sanlibutan, maging ang mga bagay na nasa sanlibutan. Kung inibig ng sinuman ang sanlibutan, wala sa kanya ang pag-ibig ng Ama. 16 Sapagkat ang lahat ng nasa sanlibutan—ang pagnanasa ng laman, at ang pagnanasa ng mga mata, at ang kapalaluan sa buhay ay hindi mula sa Ama kundi sa sanlibutan. 17 Lilipas ang sanlibutan at ang pagnanasa nito, subalit ang gumagawa ng kalooban ng Diyos ay mananatili magpakailanman.
Ang Anti-Cristo
18 Munting mga anak, huling oras na! Tulad ng inyong narinig, ang anti-Cristo ay darating. At ngayon, marami na ngang anti-Cristo ang dumating. Kaya't alam natin na huling oras na. 19 Sila ay humiwalay sa atin, bagama't hindi naman talaga sila naging bahagi natin. Sapagkat kung sila'y naging bahagi natin, nanatili sana sila sa atin. Subalit ang kanilang pag-alis ay naghahayag lamang na walang sinuman sa kanila ang kabilang sa atin. 20 Subalit tumanggap kayo ng kaloob mula sa kanya na Banal, kaya't nalalaman ninyo ang buong katotohanan. 21 Sumusulat ako sa inyo hindi dahil hindi ninyo alam ang katotohanan, kundi dahil nalalaman ninyo ito at nalalaman ninyo na walang kasinungalingang nagmumula sa katotohanan. 22 Sino ang sinungaling? Hindi ba't ang tumatangging si Jesus ang Cristo? Ito ang anti-Cristo, ang nagtatakwil sa Ama at sa Anak. 23 Ang sinumang ayaw tumanggap sa Anak ay hindi kinaroroonan ng Ama. Ang kumikilala sa Anak ay kinaroroonan ng Ama. 24 Hayaan ninyong manatili sa inyo ang anumang narinig ninyo mula pa nang simula, at mananatili kayo sa Anak at sa Ama. 25 At ito ang pangakong ibinigay niya sa atin—ang buhay na walang hanggan.
26 Isinulat ko sa inyo ang mga ito tungkol sa mga tao na magliligaw sa inyo. 27 At kayo ay tumanggap ng kaloob mula sa kanya, nananatili sa inyo, at hindi ninyo kailangan ang sinuman upang magturo sa inyo. Subalit ang ipinagkaloob niya sa inyo ang magtuturo sa inyo tungkol sa lahat ng bagay. Ito ay totoo at hindi kasinungalingan; at gaya ng itinuro nito sa inyo, manatili kayo sa kaloob na ito.
Mga anak ng Diyos
28 At ngayon, mga anak, manatili kayo sa kanya, upang sa panahong siya'y mahayag ay magkaroon tayo ng katiyakan at hindi tayo mapahiya sa harapan niya sa kanyang pagdating.
29 Kung alam ninyo na siya'y matuwid, matitiyak ninyo na ang bawat gumagawa ng katuwiran ay anak ng Diyos.

New International Version

New International Version
2 My dear children,(A) I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate(B) with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,(C) and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.(D)
Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers
3 We know(E) that we have come to know him(F) if we keep his commands.(G) 4 Whoever says, “I know him,”(H) but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.(I) 5 But if anyone obeys his word,(J) love for God[a] is truly made complete in them.(K) This is how we know(L) we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.(M)
7 Dear friends,(N) I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning.(O) This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command;(P) its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing(Q) and the true light(R) is already shining.(S)
9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[b](T) is still in the darkness.(U) 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister[c] lives in the light,(V) and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.(W) 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister(X) is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness.(Y) They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.(Z)
Reasons for Writing
12 I am writing to you, dear children,(AA)
because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.(AB)
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.(AC)
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome(AD) the evil one.(AE)
14 I write to you, dear children,(AF)
because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.(AG)
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,(AH)
and the word of God(AI) lives in you,(AJ)
and you have overcome the evil one.(AK)
On Not Loving the World
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world.(AL) If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them.(AM) 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh,(AN) the lust of the eyes,(AO) and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away,(AP) but whoever does the will of God(AQ) lives forever.
Warnings Against Denying the Son
18 Dear children, this is the last hour;(AR) and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming,(AS) even now many antichrists have come.(AT) This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us,(AU) but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.(AV)
20 But you have an anointing(AW) from the Holy One,(AX) and all of you know the truth.[e](AY) 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it(AZ) and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.(BA) 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(BB)
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning(BC) remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.(BD) 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.(BE)
26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.(BF) 27 As for you, the anointing(BG) you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things(BH) and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.(BI)
God’s Children and Sin
28 And now, dear children,(BJ) continue in him, so that when he appears(BK) we may be confident(BL) and unashamed before him at his coming.(BM)
29 If you know that he is righteous,(BN) you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.(BO)

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.
