1John 2
2I am writing this to you, my children, so that you will not sin; but if anyone does sin, we have someone who pleads with the Father on our behalf - Jesus Christ, the righteous one.G3450G5040G5023G1125G5213G3363G264G3363G2532G1437G5100G264G2192G3875G4314G3962G2424G5547G13422And Christ himself is the means by which our sins are forgiven, and not our sins only, but also the sins of everyone.G2532G846G2076G2434G4012G2257G266G1161G3756G4012G2251G3440G235G2532G4012G3650G28893If we obey God's commands, then we are sure that we know him.G2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G1097G846G1437G5083G846G17854If we say that we know him, but do not obey his commands, we are liars and there is no truth in us.G3004G1097G846G2532G5083G3361G846G1785G2076G5583G2532G225G2076G3756G1722G51295But if we obey his word, we are the ones whose love for God has really been made perfect. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God:G1161G3739G302G5083G846G3056G1722G5129G230G5048G26G2316G5048G1722G5129G1097G3754G2070G1722G8466if we say that we remain in union with God, we should live just as Jesus Christ did.G3004G3306G1722G846G3784G846G2532G3779G4043G2531G1565G40437My dear friends, this command I am writing you is not new; it is the old command, the one you have had from the very beginning. The old command is the message you have already heard.G80G1125G3756G2537G1785G5213G235G3820G1785G3739G2192G575G746G3820G1785G2076G3056G3739G191G575G7468However, the command I now write you is new, because its truth is seen in Christ and also in you. For the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining.G3825G2537G1785G1125G5213G3739G2076G227G1722G846G2532G1722G5213G3754G4653G3855G2532G228G5457G2235G53169If we say that we are in the light, yet hate others, we are in the darkness to this very hour.G3004G1511G1722G5457G2532G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2193G73710If we love others, we live in the light, and so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin.G25G846G80G3306G1722G5457G2532G2076G3756G4625G1722G84611But if we hate others, we are in the darkness; we walk in it and do not know where we are going, because the darkness has made us blind.G1161G3404G846G80G2076G1722G4653G2532G4043G1722G4653G2532G1492G3756G4226G5217G3754G4653G5186G846G378812I write to you, my children, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of Christ.G1125G5213G5040G3754G266G863G5213G1223G846G3686G122313I write to you, fathers, because you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have defeated the Evil One.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G3528G4190G1125G5213G3813G3754G1097G396214I write to you, my children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong; the word of God lives in you, and you have defeated the Evil One.G1125G5213G3962G3754G1097G575G746G1125G5213G3495G3754G2075G2478G2532G3056G2316G3306G1722G5213G2532G3528G419015Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father.G25G3361G2889G3366G1722G2889G1437G5100G25G2889G26G3962G2076G3756G1722G84616Everything that belongs to the world - what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of - none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world.G3754G3956G1722G2889G1939G4561G2532G1939G3788G2532G212G979G2076G3756G1537G3962G235G2076G1537G288917The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever.G2532G2889G3855G2532G1939G846G1161G4160G2307G2316G3306G1519G16518My children, the end is near! You were told that the Enemy of Christ would come; and now many enemies of Christ have already appeared, and so we know that the end is near.G3813G2076G2078G5610G2532G2531G191G3754G500G2064G2532G3568G1096G4183G500G3606G1097G3754G2076G2078G561019These people really did not belong to our fellowship, and that is why they left us; if they had belonged to our fellowship, they would have stayed with us. But they left so that it might be clear that none of them really belonged to us.G1831G1537G2257G235G2258G3756G1537G2257G1063G1487G2258G1537G2257G302G3306G3326G2257G235G2443G5319G3754G1526G3756G3956G1537G225720But you have had the Holy Spirit poured out on you by Christ, and so all of you know the truth.G2532G5210G2192G5545G575G40G2532G1492G395621I write you, then, not because you do not know the truth; instead, it is because you do know it, and you also know that no lie ever comes from the truth.G1125G3756G1125G5213G3754G1492G3756G225G235G3754G1492G846G2532G3754G3956G3756G5579G2076G1537G22522Who, then, is the liar? It is those who say that Jesus is not the Messiah. Such people are the Enemy of Christ - they reject both the Father and the Son.G5101G2076G5583G1508G720G3754G2424G2076G3756G5547G3778G2076G500G720G3962G2532G520723For those who reject the Son reject also the Father; those who accept the Son have the Father also.G3956G720G5207G2192G3761G3962G3670G5207G2192G3962G253224Be sure, then, to keep in your hearts the message you heard from the beginning. If you keep that message, then you will always live in union with the Son and the Father.G3306G3767G3306G1722G5213G3739G5210G191G575G746G1437G3739G191G575G746G3306G1722G5213G5210G2532G3306G1722G5207G2532G1722G396225And this is what Christ himself promised to give us - eternal life.G2532G3778G2076G1860G3739G846G1861G2254G166G222226I am writing this to you about those who are trying to deceive you.G5023G1125G5213G4012G4105G520927But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit's teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ.G2532G5545G3739G5210G2983G575G846G3306G1722G5213G2532G5532G2192G3756G2443G5100G1321G5209G235G5613G846G5545G1321G5209G4012G3956G2532G2076G227G2532G2076G3756G5579G2532G2531G1321G5209G3306G1722G84628Yes, my children, remain in union with him, so that when he appears we may be full of courage and need not hide in shame from him on the Day he comes.G2532G3568G5040G3306G1722G846G2443G3752G5319G2192G3954G2532G3361G153G575G846G1722G846G395229You know that Christ is righteous; you should know, then, that everyone who does what is right is God's child.G1437G1492G3754G2076G1342G1097G3754G3956G4160G1343G1080G1537G846
