2My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.G3450G5040G5023G1125G5213G3363G264G3363G2532G1437G5100G264G2192G3875G4314G3962G2424G5547G13422He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.G2532G846G2076G2434G4012G2257G266G1161G3756G4012G2251G3440G235G2532G4012G3650G28893And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.G2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G1097G846G1437G5083G846G17854Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,G3004G1097G846G2532G5083G3361G846G1785G2076G5583G2532G225G2076G3756G1722G51295but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:G1161G3739G302G5083G846G3056G1722G5129G230G5048G26G2316G5048G1722G5129G1097G3754G2070G1722G8466whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.G3004G3306G1722G846G3784G846G2532G3779G4043G2531G1565G40437Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.G80G1125G3756G2537G1785G5213G235G3820G1785G3739G2192G575G746G3820G1785G2076G3056G3739G191G575G7468At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.G3825G2537G1785G1125G5213G3739G2076G227G1722G846G2532G1722G5213G3754G4653G3855G2532G228G5457G2235G53169Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness.G3004G1511G1722G5457G2532G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2193G73710Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling.G25G846G80G3306G1722G5457G2532G2076G3756G4625G1722G84611But whoever 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.G1161G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2532G4043G1722G4653G2532G1492G3756G4226G5217G3754G4653G5186G846G378812I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.G1125G5213G5040G3754G266G863G5213G1223G846G3686G122313I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G3528G4190G1125G5213G3813G3754G1097G396214I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G2075G2478G2532G3056G2316G3306G1722G5213G2532G3528G419015Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.G25G3361G2889G3366G1722G2889G1437G5100G25G2889G26G3962G2076G3756G1722G84616For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.G3754G3956G1722G2889G1939G4561G2532G1939G3788G2532G212G979G2076G3756G1537G3962G235G2076G1537G288917And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.G2532G2889G3855G2532G1939G846G1161G4160G2307G2316G3306G1519G16518Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.G3813G2076G2078G5610G2532G2531G191G3754G500G2064G2532G3568G1096G4183G500G3606G1097G3754G2076G2078G561019They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.G1831G1537G2257G235G2258G3756G1537G2257G1063G1487G2258G1537G2257G302G3306G3326G2257G235G2443G5319G3754G1526G3756G3956G1537G225720But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.G2532G5210G2192G5545G575G40G2532G1492G395621I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.G1125G3756G1125G5213G3754G1492G3756G225G235G3754G1492G846G2532G3754G3956G3756G5579G2076G1537G22522Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.G5101G2076G5583G1508G720G3754G2424G2076G3756G5547G3778G2076G500G720G3962G2532G520723No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.G3956G720G5207G2192G3761G3962G3670G5207G2192G3962G253224Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.G3306G3767G3306G1722G5213G3739G5210G191G575G746G1437G3739G191G575G746G3306G1722G5213G5210G2532G3306G1722G5207G2532G1722G396225And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life.G2532G3778G2076G1860G3739G846G1861G2254G166G222226I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.G5023G1125G5213G4012G4105G520927But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.G2532G5545G3739G5210G2983G575G846G3306G1722G5213G2532G5532G2192G3756G2443G5100G1321G5209G235G5613G846G5545G1321G5209G4012G3956G2532G2076G227G2532G2076G3756G5579G2532G2531G1321G5209G3306G1722G84628And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.G2532G3568G5040G3306G1722G846G2443G3752G5319G2192G3954G2532G3361G153G575G846G1722G846G395229If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.G1437G1492G3754G2076G1342G1097G3754G3956G4160G1343G1080G1537G846
