Christ Our Advocate
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;G34502and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.G2532G846G2076G2434G4012G2257G266G1161G3756G4012G2251G3440G235G2532G4012G3650G2889
3Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments.G2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G1097G846G1437G5083G846G1785
4Whoever says, "I have come to know him," but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist;G3004G1097G846G2532G5083G3361G846G1785G2076G5583G2532G225G2076G3756G1722G5129
5but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him:G1161G3739G302G5083G846G3056G1722G5129G230G5048G26G2316G5048G1722G5129G1097G3754G2070G1722G846
6whoever says, "I abide in him," ought to walk just as he walked.G3004G3306G1722G846G3784G846G2532G3779G4043G2531G1565G4043 G1125G3756G2537G1785G5213G235G3820G1785G3739G2192G575G746G3820G1785G2076G3056G3739G191G575G746
A New Commandment
7Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word that you have heard.G808Yet I am writing you a new commandment that is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.G3825G2537G1785G1125G5213G3739G2076G227G1722G846G2532G1722G5213G3754G4653G3855G2532G228G5457G2235G5316
9Whoever says, "I am in the light," while hating a brother or sister, is still in the darkness.G3004G1511G1722G5457G2532G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2193G737
10Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no cause for stumbling.G25G846G80G3306G1722G5457G2532G2076G3756G4625G1722G846
11But whoever hates another believer is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know the way to go, because the darkness has brought on blindness.G1161G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2532G4043G1722G4653G2532G1492G3756G4226G5217G3754G4653G5186G846G3788
12I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven on account of his name.G1125G5213G5040G3754G266G863G5213G1223G846G3686G1223
13I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, because you have conquered the evil one.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G3528G4190G1125G5213G3813G3754G1097G3962
14I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G2075G2478G2532G3056G2316G3306G1722G5213G2532G3528G4190
15Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world;G25G3361G2889G3366G1722G2889G1437G5100G25G2889G26G3962G2076G3756G1722G846
16for all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches—comes not from the Father but from the world.G3754G3956G1722G2889G1939G4561G2532G1939G3788G2532G212G979G2076G3756G1537G3962G235G2076G1537G2889
17And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God live forever.G2532G2889G3855G2532G1939G846G1161G4160G2307G2316G3306G1519G165 G2076G2078G5610G2532G2531G191G3754G500G2064G2532G3568G1096G4183G500G3606G1097G3754G2076G2078G5610
Warning against Antichrists
18Children, it is the last hour! As you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. From this we know that it is the last hour.G381319They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But by going out they made it plain that none of them belongs to us.G1831G1537G2257G235G2258G3756G1537G2257G1063G1487G2258G1537G2257G302G3306G3326G2257G235G2443G5319G3754G1526G3756G3956G1537G2257
20But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and all of you have knowledge.G2532G5210G2192G5545G575G40G2532G1492G3956
21I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and you know that no lie comes from the truth.G1125G3756G1125G5213G3754G1492G3756G225G235G3754G1492G846G2532G3754G3956G3756G5579G2076G1537G225
22Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.G5101G2076G5583G1508G720G3754G2424G2076G3756G5547G3778G2076G500G720G3962G2532G5207
23No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also.G3956G720G5207G2192G3761G3962G3670G5207G2192G3962G2532
24Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father.G3306G3767G3306G1722G5213G3739G5210G191G575G746G1437G3739G191G575G746G3306G1722G5213G5210G2532G3306G1722G5207G2532G1722G3962
25And this is what he has promised us, eternal life.G2532G3778G2076G1860G3739G846G1861G2254G166G2222
26I write these things to you concerning those who would deceive you.G5023G1125G5213G4012G4105G5209
27As for you, the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and so you do not need anyone to 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, abide in him.G2532G5545G3739G5210G2983G575G846G3306G1722G5213G2532G5532G2192G3756G2443G5100G1321G5209G235G5613G846G5545G1321G5209G4012G3956G2532G2076G227G2532G2076G3756G5579G2532G2531G1321G5209G3306G1722G846
New Testament
28And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming.G2532G3568G5040G3306G1722G846G2443G3752G5319G2192G3954G2532G3361G153G575G846G1722G846G3952 G1492G3754G2076G1342G1097G3754G3956G4160G1343G1080G1537G846
