Si Cristo ang Ating Tagapagtanggol
2 Mga anak, isinusulat ko ito sa inyo upang huwag kayong magkasala. Ngunit kung magkasala ang sinuman, may Tagapagtanggol tayo sa Ama, si Jesu-Cristo, ang matuwid. 2 Si Cristo ang handog sa ikapagpapatawad ng mga kasalanan, hindi lamang ang ating mga kasalanan, kundi maging ang kasalanan ng lahat ng tao.
3 Nakakatiyak tayong nakikilala natin ang Diyos kung sinusunod natin ang kanyang mga utos. 4 Ang nagsasabing, “Nakikilala ko siya,” ngunit hindi naman sumusunod sa kanyang mga utos ay sinungaling, at wala sa kanya ang katotohanan. 5 Ngunit ang tumutupad sa salita ng Diyos ay umiibig nang wagas sa Diyos.[a] Sa ganito, nalalaman natin na tayo'y talagang nasa kanya. 6 Sinumang nagsasabing nananatili siya sa Diyos ay dapat mamuhay tulad ng pamumuhay ni Jesu-Cristo.
Ang Bagong Utos
7 Mga(A) minamahal, hindi isang bagong utos ang isinusulat ko sa inyo, kundi ang dating utos na nasa inyo sa simula pa. Ito'y ang mensaheng narinig na ninyo. 8 Ngunit, maituturing na isang bagong utos ang isinusulat ko sa inyo; sapagkat napapawi na ang kadiliman at lumiliwanag na ang tunay na ilaw. Ang katotohanan nito'y nasaksihan sa buhay ni Cristo at nakikita rin naman sa atin.
9 Ang nagsasabing siya'y nasa liwanag ngunit napopoot sa kanyang kapatid ay nasa kadiliman pa. 10 Ang umiibig sa kanyang kapatid ay nananatili sa liwanag, at hindi siya magiging sanhi ng pagkakasala ng iba.[b] 11 Ngunit ang napopoot sa kanyang kapatid ay nasa kadiliman pa. Lumalakad siya sa kadiliman at hindi niya nalalaman ang kanyang pupuntahan, sapagkat binulag siya ng kadiliman.
12 Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga anak, sapagkat pinatawad na ang inyong mga kasalanan alang-alang sa kanyang pangalan. 13 Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga ama, sapagkat kilala ninyo siya, na sa simula pa'y siya na. Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga kabataan, sapagkat napagtagumpayan na ninyo ang Masama.
14 Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga anak, sapagkat kilala ninyo ang Ama. Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga ama, sapagkat kilala ninyo siya, na sa simula pa'y siya na. Sumusulat ako sa inyo, mga kabataan, sapagkat malalakas kayo; nananatili sa inyo ang salita ng Diyos, at napagtagumpayan na ninyo ang Masama.
15 Huwag ninyong ibigin ang sanlibutan o ang mga bagay na nasa sanlibutan. Ang umiibig sa sanlibutan ay hindi umiibig sa Ama. 16 Ang lahat ng nasa sanlibutan, ang pagnanasa ng laman, ang pagnanasa ng mga mata, at ang pagmamalaki sa buhay na ito ay hindi nagmumula sa Ama kundi sa sanlibutan. 17 Mawawala ang sanlibutan at ang lahat ng mga bagay na pinagnanasaan ng mga tao, ngunit ang mga sumusunod sa kalooban ng Diyos ay mabubuhay magpakailanman.
Ang Kaaway ni Cristo
18 Mga anak, ito na ang huling panahon! Tulad ng inyong narinig, darating ang kaaway ni Cristo. Ngayon nga'y marami nang lumilitaw na mga kaaway ni Cristo, kaya't alam nating malapit na ang wakas. 19 Kahit na sila'y mga dati nating kasamahan, ang mga taong iyon ay hindi natin tunay na kasama. Sapagkat kung sila'y tunay na atin, nanatili sana silang kasama natin. Ngunit umalis sila upang maging maliwanag na silang lahat ay hindi tunay na kasama natin.
20 Ngunit ipinagkaloob na sa inyo ang Espiritu Santo, at dahil dito, alam na ninyo ang buong katotohanan. 21 Sumusulat ako sa inyo, hindi dahil sa hindi ninyo alam ang katotohanan, kundi dahil alam na ninyo ito, at alam din ninyong walang kasinungalingang nagmumula sa katotohanan.
22 Sino nga ba ang sinungaling? Hindi ba't siya na nagsasabing si Jesus ay hindi ang Cristo? Ang mga nagsasabi nito ay kaaway ni Cristo; hindi nila pinaniniwalaan ang Ama at ang Anak. 23 Ang hindi kumikilala sa Anak ay hindi rin kumikilala sa Ama. Ang kumikilala sa Anak ay kumikilala rin sa Ama.
24 Pakaingatan ninyo sa inyong puso ang narinig ninyo sa simula pa. Kung gagawin ninyo ito, mananatili kayo sa Anak at sa Ama. 25 At ito naman ang ipinangako sa atin ni Cristo, ang buhay na walang hanggan.
26 Isinusulat ko sa inyo ito upang bigyan kayo ng babala laban sa mga taong nagnanais na iligaw kayo. 27 Gayunpaman, ang Espiritu'y ipinagkaloob na ni Cristo sa inyo. At habang ang Espiritu'y nananatili sa inyo, hindi ninyo kakailanganing turuan pa kayo ng iba. Ang Espiritu ang nagtuturo sa inyo tungkol sa lahat ng bagay. Lahat ng itinuturo niya ay totoo, at walang bahid ng kasinungalingan. At tulad ng itinuro ng Espiritu, manatili kayo kay Cristo.
28 Kaya nga, mga anak, manatili kayo sa kanya upang maging panatag ang ating loob sa muling pagparito niya, at nang hindi tayo mahiya sa kanya sa araw na iyon. 29 Kung alam ninyong si Cristo'y masunurin sa kalooban ng Diyos, dapat din ninyong malaman na ang bawat sumusunod sa kalooban ng Diyos ay anak ng Diyos.

Keeping the New Commandment
2 My little children, I am writing these things to you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one, 2 and he[a] is the propitiation[b] for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 The one who says “I have come to know him,” and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this person. 5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him. 6 The one who says that he resides in him ought also to walk[c] just as that one walked.
7 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message which you have heard. 8 Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because[d] the darkness is passing away and the true light already is shining. 9 The one who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness until now. 10 The one who loves his brother resides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Encouragement and Assurance
12 I am writing to you, little children, because[e] your sins have been forgiven you on account of his name. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, because[f] you have known the One who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because[g] you have conquered the evil one. 14 I have written to you, children, because[h] you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because[i] you have known the One who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because[j] you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.
Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, 16 because everything that is in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance of material possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and its desire,[k] but the one who does the will of God remains forever[l].
Departure of the False Teachers
18 Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, 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 remained with us. But they went out[m], in order that it might be shown that all of them are not of us.
20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. 21 I have not written to you because[n] you do not know the truth, but because[o] you do know it, and because[p] every lie is not of the truth. 22 Who is the liar except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This person is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise which he himself promised us: eternal life. 26 These things I have written to you concerning the ones who are trying to deceive you.
27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not have need that anyone teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you reside[q] in him.
God’s Children
28 And now, little children, remain in him, so that whenever he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone[r] who practices righteousness has been fathered by 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.
