( CC) 27 As for you, the anointing ( CD) you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. ( CB)Ģ6 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. ( CA) 25 And this is what he promised us-eternal life. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. ( BY)Ģ4 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning ( BZ) remains in you. ( BX) 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. Such a person is the antichrist-denying the Father and the Son. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. ( BV) 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it ( BW) and because no lie comes from the truth. ( BS)Ģ0 But you have an anointing ( BT) from the Holy One, ( BU) and all of you know the truth. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. 19 They went out from us, ( BR) but they did not really belong to us. ( BQ) This is how we know it is the last hour. Warnings Against Denying the Sonġ8 Dear children, this is the last hour ( BO) and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, ( BP) even now many antichrists have come. 17 The world and its desires pass away, ( BM) but whoever does the will of God ( BN) lives forever. ( BJ) 16 For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, ( BK) the lust of the eyes, ( BL) and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. ( BI) If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. ( BH) On Not Loving the Worldġ5 Do not love the world or anything in the world. ( BD)Īnd the word of God ( BF) lives in you, ( BG)Īnd you have overcome the evil one. ( AW) Reasons for Writingīecause you know him who is from the beginning. ( AV) They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. ( AT) 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister ( AU) is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. ( AR) 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, ( AS) and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. ( AP)ĩ Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister ( AQ) is still in the darkness. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command ( AM) its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing ( AN) and the true light ( AO) is already shining. ( AL) This old command is the message you have heard. ( AJ)ħ Dear friends, ( AK) I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. ( AH) This is how we know ( AI) we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. ( AF) 5 But if anyone obeys his word, ( AG) love for God is truly made complete in them.
( AD) 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” ( AE) but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. ( AA) Love and Hatred for Fellow Believersģ We know ( AB) that we have come to know him ( AC) if we keep his commands. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, ( Z) and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate ( Y) with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
( W)Ģ My dear children, ( X) I write this to you so that you will not sin. ( T) 10 If we claim we have not sinned, ( U) we make him out to be a liar ( V) and his word is not in us. ( R) 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins ( S) and purify us from all unrighteousness. ( P)Ĩ If we claim to be without sin, ( Q) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. ( N) 7 But if we walk in the light, ( O) as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, ( M) we lie and do not live out the truth. ( J) Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgivenessĥ This is the message we have heard ( K) from him and declare to you: God is light ( L) in him there is no darkness at all. ( H) 4 We write this ( I) to make our joy complete. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, ( G) so that you also may have fellowship with us. 2 The life appeared ( D) we have seen it and testify to it, ( E) and we proclaim to you the eternal life, ( F) which was with the Father and has appeared to us.
1 That which was from the beginning, ( A) which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, ( B) which we have looked at and our hands have touched ( C)-this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
