2:1 My
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.
2:2 He
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sins,
and
not
for
ours
only
but
also
for
the
sins
of
the
whole
world.
2:3 And
by
this
we
know
that
we
have
come
to
know
him,
if
we
keep
his
commandments.
2:4 Whoever
says
"I
know
him"
but
does
not
keep
his
commandments
is
a
liar,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
him,
2:5 but
whoever
keeps
his
word,
in
him
truly
the
love
of
God
is
perfected.
By
this
we
may
know
that
we
are
in
him:
2:6 whoever
says
he
abides
in
him
ought
to
walk
in
the
same
way
in
which
he
walked.
2:7 Beloved,
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.
2:8 At
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.
2:9 Whoever
says
he
is
in
the
light
and
hates
his
brother
is
still
in
darkness.
2:10 Whoever
loves
his
brother
abides
in
the
light,
and
in
him
there
is
no
cause
for
stumbling.
2:11 But
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.
2:12 I
am
writing
to
you,
little
children,
because
your
sins
are
forgiven
for
his
name's
sake.
2:13 I
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.
2:14 I
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.
2:15 Do
not
love
the
world
or
the
things
in
the
world.
If
anyone
loves
the
world,
the
love
of
the
Father
is
not
in
him.
2:16 For
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.
2:17 And
the
world
is
passing
away
along
with
its
desires,
but
whoever
does
the
will
of
God
abides
forever.
2:18 Children,
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.
2:19 They
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.
2:20 But
you
have
been
anointed
by
the
Holy
One,
and
you
all
have
knowledge.
2:21 I
write
to
you,
not
because
you
do
not
know
the
truth,
but
because
you
know
it,
and
because
no
lie
is
of
the
truth.
2:22 Who
is
the
liar
but
he
who
denies
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ
This
is
the
antichrist,
he
who
denies
the
Father
and
the
Son.
2:23 No
one
who
denies
the
Son
has
the
Father.
Whoever
confesses
the
Son
has
the
Father
also.
2:24 Let
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.
2:25 And
this
is
the
promise
that
he
made
to
us--eternal
life.
2:26 I
write
these
things
to
you
about
those
who
are
trying
to
deceive
you.
2:27 But
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.
2:28 And
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.
2:29 If
you
know
that
he
is
righteous,
you
may
be
sure
that
everyone
who
practices
righteousness
has
been
born
of
him.
