| [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, |
[1]My sons, these write I to you, that you sin not. And if a man shall sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jeshu Meshiha, the Just; |
| [2]and he -- he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world, |
[2]For he is the propitiation for our sins, and not on behalf of ours only, but also on behalf of the whole world. |
| [3]and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep; |
[3]And by this we feel that we know him, if we keep his commandments. |
| [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; |
[4]For he who saith that he knoweth him, and his commandments keepeth not, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. |
| [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. |
[5]But he who keepeth his word, in him is perfected truly the love of Aloha; for by this we know that we are in him. |
| [6]He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk. |
[6]He who saith, I am in him, ought according to his walkings to walk. |
| [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; |
[7]MY beloved, a new commandment I write not to you, but the old commandment, that which was with you from the beginning; but the old commandment is the word which you have heard. |
| [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; |
[8]Again, a new commandment I write to you, that which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed, and the true light beginneth to appear. |
| [9]he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now; |
[9]Whoever saith, then, that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. |
| [10]he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not; |
[10]He who loveth his brother, in the light abideth, and offence is not in him. |
| [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. |
[11]He who hateth his brother is in darkness, and in the darkness walketh, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness itself hath blinded his eyes. |
| [12]I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name; |
[12]I write to you, sons,ⓘ because forgiven to you are your sins for the sake of his name. |
| [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: |
[13]I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who hath been from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked. I have written to you, children,ⓘ because you have known the Father. |
| [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. |
[14]I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [hath been] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of Aloha remaineth in you, and you have overcome the wicked. |
| [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, |
[15]Love not the world, nor any thing which is in it; for whoever loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
| [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, |
[16]For every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself. |
| [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. |
[17]And the world passeth, [both] it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth for ever. |
| [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; |
[18]My sons, it is the last time: and as you have heard, the false meshiha cometh; and now there are many false meshihas, and from this we know that it is the last time. |
| [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. |
[19]From us they went forth, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, with us would they have remained. But they went forth from us, that it might be known that they were not of us. |
| [20]And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things; |
[20]And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man. |
| [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. |
[21]I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but you know it, and that no lie is of it, of the truth. |
| [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; |
[22]Who is a liar, if not he who denieth that Jeshu is the Meshiha? and this [one] is a false meshiha. |
| [23]every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.] |
[23]He who denieth the Father, denieth also the Son; and he who denieth the Son, disbelieveth also the Father. Whoso confesseth the Son, the Father also confesseth. |
| [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, |
[24]And you, what you have heard from the first, let it continue with you. For, if what you have heard from the first continue with you, you also will continue in the Father and in the Son. |
| [25]and this is the promise that He did promise us -- the life the age-during. |
[25]And this is the promise which he promised to us, eternal life. |
| [26]These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray; |
[26]But these I have written to you, because of those who would seduce you. |
| [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. |
[27]And you, also, if the anointing continue with you which you have received from him, have not need that a man should teach you; but as the anointing that is from Aloha itself teacheth you concerning every thing, and is true, neither is falsity in it; and as it hath taught you, continue in it. |
| [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; |
[28]And now, my sons, continue in him: that when he is manifested we may not he confounded of him, but we may have confidence at his coming. |
| [29]if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten. |
[29]If you know that he is righteous, know also that every one who doeth righteousness is of him. |
