YLT
[1]My litle chyldren, these thynges write I vnto you, that ye sinne not. And yf any man sinne, we haue an aduocate with the father, Iesus Christe the ryghteous [1]My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,
[2]And he is ye attonement for our sinnes: not for our sinnes only, but also for the sinnes of all the worlde [2]and he -- he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,
[3]And hereby we are sure that we knowe hym, yf we kepe his comaundementes [3]and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
[4]He that sayth I knowe hym, and kepeth not his commaundementes, is a lyer, and the veritie is not in hym [4]he who is saying, `I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;
[5]But who so kepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede. Hereby knowe we that we are in hym [5]and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
[6]He that sayth he bydeth in him, ought to walke euen as he walked [6]He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
[7]Brethren, I write no newe comaundement vnto you, but that olde comaundement which ye haue had from the begynnyng. The olde commaundement is the worde which ye haue hearde fro the begynnyng [7]Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning -- the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;
[8]Agayne, a newe commaundement I write vnto you, that is true in hym, and [the same is true] also in you: For the darkenesse is past, and the true lyght nowe shyneth [8]again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;
[9]He that sayth howe that he is in the lyght, and yet hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, euen vntyll this tyme [9]he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;
[10]He that loueth his brother, abydeth in the lyght, and there is none occasion of euyll in hym [10]he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;
[11]He that hateth his brother, is in darknesse, and walketh in darkenesse, & can not tell whyther he goeth, because that darkenesse hath blynded his eyes [11]and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.
[12]Babes I write vnto you, because your sinnes are forgeuen you for his names sake [12]I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;
[13]I write vnto you fathers, because ye haue knowen hym that is from the begynnyng. I write vnto you young men, because you haue ouercome the wicked [13]I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:
[14]I write to you little chyldren, because ye haue knowe the father. I haue written to you fathers, because ye haue knowen hym that is from the begynnyng. I haue written vnto you young men, because, ye are stronge, and the worde of God abydeth in you, and ye haue ouercome the wicked [14]I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.
[15]See that ye loue not the worlde, neither the thynges that are in the worlde. If any man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in hym [15]Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
[16]For all that is in the worlde, as the lust of the fleshe, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but of the worlde [16]because all that [is] in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,
[17]And the worlde passeth away, and the luste thereof: but he that fulfylleth the wyll of God, abydeth for euer [17]and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age.
[18]Litle chyldren, it is the last time, and as ye haue hearde howe that antichrist shall come, euen nowe are there many antichristes, whereby we knowe that it is the last tyme [18]Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many -- whence we know that it is the last hour;
[19]They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: For yf they had ben of vs, they woulde no doubt haue continued with vs: But that it myght appeare that they were not of vs [19]out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but -- that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.
[20]Neuerthelesse, ye haue an oyntment of hym that is holy, and ye knowe all thynges [20]And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
[21]I haue not written vnto you, as though ye knewe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lye is of the trueth [21]I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.
[22]Who is a lyer, but he that denieth that Iesus is Christe? The same is antichrist that denyeth the father and the sonne [22]Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;
[23]Whosoeuer denyeth the sonne, the same hath not the father [But he that knowledgeth the sonne, hath the father also. [23]every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]
[24]Let therfore abyde in you, that same whiche ye hearde from the begynnyng. If that whiche ye hearde from the begynnyng shall remayne in you, ye also shall continue in the sonne, and in the father [24]Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,
[25]And this is the promise that he hath promised vs, euen eternall lyfe [25]and this is the promise that He did promise us -- the life the age-during.
[26]These thynges haue I written vnto you, concerning them that deceaue you [26]These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;
[27]And the annoyntyng whiche ye haue receaued of hym dwelleth in you: And ye nede not that any man teach you, but as the same annoynting teacheth you of all thynges, and it is true, and not lying: and as it taught you, ye shall abyde in it [27]and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.
[28]And nowe babes abide in him, that when he shal appeare, we may be bolde and not be made ashamed of hym at his commyng [28]And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;
[29]If ye knowe that he is ryghteous, knowe also that euery one whiche doth righteousnes, is borne of hym [29]if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
