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.
1 John 2
English Standard Version
Christ Our Advocate
2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, (A)we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 (B)He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but (C)also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we (D)keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments (E)is a liar, and (F)the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever (G)keeps his word, in him truly (H)the love of God is perfected. (I)By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he (J)abides in him (K)ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
The New Commandment
7 Beloved, I am writing you (L)no new commandment, but (M)an old commandment (N)that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8 At the same time, it is (O)a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because[a] (P)the darkness is passing away and (Q)the true light is already shining. 9 Whoever says he is in the light and (R)hates his brother is still in darkness. 10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him[b] there is no (S)cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and (T)walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I am writing to you, little children,
because (U)your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know (V)him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because (W)you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children,
because (X)you know the Father.
14 I write to you, fathers,
because you know (Y)him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because (Z)you are strong,
and the word of God abides in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
Do Not Love the World
15 (AA)Do not love the world or the things in the world. (AB)If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—(AC)the desires of the flesh and (AD)the desires of the eyes and pride of life[c]—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And (AE)the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
Warning Concerning Antichrists
18 Children, (AF)it is the last hour, and as you have heard that (AG)antichrist is coming, so now (AH)many antichrists have come. (AI)Therefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 (AJ)They went out from us, but they were not of us; for (AK)if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, (AL)that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been (AM)anointed by (AN)the Holy One, and (AO)you all have knowledge.[d] 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but (AP)he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is (AQ)the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (AR)No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let (AS)what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then (AT)you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us[e]—(AU)eternal life.
26 I write these things to you about (AV)those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But (AW)the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and (AX)you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and (AY)is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
Children of God
28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that (AZ)when he appears (BA)we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his (BB)coming. 29 If you know that (BC)he is righteous, you may be sure that (BD)everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

2 Copilaşilor, vă scriu aceste lucruri ca să nu păcătuiţi. Dar, dacă cineva a păcătuit, avem(A) la Tatăl un Mijlocitor[a], pe Isus Hristos, Cel neprihănit. 2 El este(B) jertfa de ispăşire pentru păcatele noastre; şi nu numai pentru ale noastre, ci(C) pentru ale întregii lumi. 3 Şi prin aceasta ştim că Îl cunoaştem, dacă păzim poruncile Lui. 4 Cine(D) zice: „Îl cunosc” şi nu păzeşte poruncile Lui este(E) un mincinos şi adevărul nu este în el. 5 Dar cine(F) păzeşte Cuvântul Lui în el(G) dragostea lui Dumnezeu a ajuns desăvârşită; prin(H) aceasta ştim că suntem în El. 6 Cine(I) zice că rămâne în El trebuie să trăiască(J) şi el cum a trăit Isus. 7 Preaiubiţilor, nu(K) vă scriu o poruncă nouă, ci o poruncă veche, pe care(L) aţi avut-o de la început. Porunca aceasta veche este Cuvântul, pe care l-aţi auzit. 8 Totuşi vă scriu o poruncă(M) nouă, lucru care este adevărat atât cu privire la El, cât şi cu privire la voi; căci(N) întunericul se împrăştie şi lumina(O) adevărată şi răsare chiar. 9 Cine(P) zice că este în lumină şi urăşte pe fratele său este încă în întuneric până acum. 10 Cine(Q) iubeşte pe fratele său rămâne în lumină şi în el(R) nu este niciun prilej de poticnire. 11 Dar cine urăşte pe fratele său este în întuneric, umblă(S) în întuneric şi nu ştie încotro merge, pentru că întunericul i-a orbit ochii. 12 Vă scriu, copilaşilor, fiindcă păcatele(T) vă sunt iertate pentru Numele Lui. 13 Vă scriu, părinţilor, fiindcă aţi cunoscut pe Cel ce este de la(U) început. Vă scriu, tinerilor, fiindcă aţi biruit pe cel rău. V-am scris, copilaşilor, fiindcă aţi cunoscut pe Tatăl. 14 V-am scris, părinţilor, fiindcă aţi cunoscut pe Cel ce este de la început. V-am scris, tinerilor, fiindcă sunteţi(V) tari şi Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu rămâne în voi şi aţi biruit pe cel rău. 15 Nu(W) iubiţi lumea, nici lucrurile din lume. Dacă(X) iubeşte cineva lumea, dragostea Tatălui nu este în El. 16 Căci tot ce este în lume: pofta firii pământeşti, pofta ochilor(Y) şi lăudăroşia vieţii, nu este de la Tatăl, ci din lume. 17 Şi lumea(Z) şi pofta ei trec, dar cine face voia lui Dumnezeu rămâne în veac. 18 Copilaşilor(AA), este(AB) ceasul cel de pe urmă. Şi, după cum aţi auzit că are să vină Antihrist(AC), să ştiţi că acum(AD) s-au ridicat mulţi antihrişti – prin aceasta cunoaştem că(AE) este ceasul de pe urmă. 19 Ei au ieşit din(AF) mijlocul nostru, dar nu erau dintre ai noştri. Căci, dacă(AG) ar fi fost dintre ai noştri, ar fi rămas cu noi; ci au ieşit ca(AH) să se arate că nu toţi sunt dintre ai noştri. 20 Dar voi(AI) aţi primit ungerea din partea(AJ) Celui sfânt şi ştiţi(AK) orice lucru. 21 V-am scris nu că n-aţi cunoaşte adevărul, ci pentru că îl cunoaşteţi şi ştiţi că nicio minciună nu vine din adevăr. 22 Cine(AL) este mincinosul, dacă nu cel ce tăgăduieşte că Isus este Hristosul? Acela este Antihristul, care tăgăduieşte pe Tatăl şi pe Fiul. 23 Oricine(AM) tăgăduieşte pe Fiul n-are pe Tatăl. Oricine(AN) mărturiseşte pe Fiul are şi pe Tatăl. 24 Ce(AO) aţi auzit de la început, aceea să rămână în voi. Dacă rămâne în voi ce aţi auzit de la început, şi voi veţi(AP) rămâne în Fiul şi în Tatăl. 25 Şi(AQ) făgăduinţa pe care ne-a făcut-o El este aceasta: viaţa veşnică. 26 V-am scris aceste lucruri în(AR) vederea celor ce caută să vă rătăcească. 27 Cât despre voi, ungerea(AS) pe care aţi primit-o de la El rămâne în voi şi n-aveţi(AT) trebuinţă să vă înveţe cineva; ci, după cum ungerea Lui vă(AU) învaţă despre toate lucrurile şi este adevărată şi nu este o minciună, rămâneţi în El, după cum v-a învăţat ea. 28 Şi acum, copilaşilor, rămâneţi în El, pentru ca, atunci când(AV) Se va arăta El, să(AW) avem îndrăzneală şi la venirea Lui să nu rămânem de ruşine şi depărtaţi de El. 29 Dacă(AX) ştiţi că El este neprihănit, să ştiţi şi că oricine(AY) trăieşte în neprihănire este născut din El.
