1 John 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:	1 My little sons, this I write to you, so that you may not sin. But if anyone has sinned, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just One.
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.	2 And he is the propitiation for our sins. And not only for our sins, but also for those of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.	3 And we can be sure that we have known him by this: if we observe his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.	4 Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.	5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.	6 Whoever declares himself to remain in him, ought to walk just as he himself walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.	7 Most beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but the old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word, which you have heard.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.	8 Then too, I am writing to you a new commandment, which is the Truth in him and in you. For the darkness has passed away, and the true Light is now shining.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.	9 Whoever declares himself to be in the light, and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness even now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.	10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause of offense in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.	11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness, and in darkness he walks, and he does not know where he is going. For the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.	12 I am writing to you, little sons, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of his name.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.	13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, adolescents, because you have overcome the evil one.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.	14 I am writing to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I am writing to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.	15 Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.	16 For all that is in the world is the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the arrogance of a life which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.	17 And the world is passing away, with its desire. But whoever does the will of God abides unto eternity.
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.	18 Little sons, it is the last hour. And, as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have arrived. By this, we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.	19 They went out from among us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, certainly they would have remained with us. But in this way, it is made manifest that none of them are of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.	20 Yet you have the anointing of the Holy One, and you know everything.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.	21 I have not written to you as to ones who are ignorant of the truth, but as to ones who know the truth. For no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.	22 Who is a liar, other than he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.	23 No one who denies the Son also has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son, also has the Father.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.	24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you, too, shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.	25 And this is the Promise, which he himself has promised to us: Eternal Life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.	26 I have written these things to you, because of those who would seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.	27 But as for you, let the Anointing that you have received from him abide in you. And so, you have no need of anyone to teach you. For his Anointing teaches you about everything, and it is the truth, and it is not a lie. And just as his Anointing has taught you, abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.	28 And now, little sons, abide in him, so that when he appears, we may have faith, and we may not be confounded by him at his advent.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.	29 If you know that he is just, then know, too, that all who do what is just are born of him.
