My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

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:

and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

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 him;

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

but whoever follows His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

the one who says that he remains in Him ought, himself also, to walk just as He walked.

Beloved, 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 word which you have heard.

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.

On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

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.

The one who says that he is in the Light and yet hates his brother or sister is in the darkness until now.

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

The one who loves his brother and sister remains in the Light, and there is nothing in him to cause stumbling.

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

But the one who hates his brother or sister is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

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.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of His name.

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

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.

I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

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.

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

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.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

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.

The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be evident that they all are not of us.

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.

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.

Who is the liar except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

As for you, see that what you heard from the beginning remains in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

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.

This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

Now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not draw back from Him in shame at His coming.
