1John:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My little children ,
these things write I unto you ,
that all of you sin not .
And if any man sin ,
we have an advocate with the Father ,
Jesus Christ the righteous :
*
And he is the propitiation for our sins :
and not for our '
s only ,
but also for the sins of the whole world .
*
And hereby we do know that we know him ,
if we keep his commandments .
*
He that says ,
I know him ,
and keeps not his commandments ,
is a liar ,
and the truth is not in him .
*
But whoso keeps his word , (
o .
logos )
in him verily is the love (
o .
agape )
of God perfected :
hereby know we that we are in him .
*
He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk ,
even as he walked .
*
Brethren ,
I write no new commandment unto you ,
but an old commandment which all of you had from the beginning .
The old commandment is the word (
o .
logos )
which all of you have heard from the beginning .
*
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 shines .
*
He that says he is in the light ,
and hates his brother ,
is in darkness even until now .
*
He that loves his brother abides in the light ,
and there is none occasion of stumbling in him .
*
But he that hates his brother is in darkness ,
and walks in darkness ,
and knows not where he goes ,
because that darkness has blinded his eyes .
*
I write unto you ,
little children ,
because your sins are forgiven you for his name '
s sake .
*
I write unto you ,
fathers ,
because all of you have known him that is from the beginning .
I write unto you ,
young men ,
because all of you have overcome the wicked one .
I write unto you ,
little children ,
because all of you have known the Father .
*
I have written unto you ,
fathers ,
because all of you have known him that is from the beginning .
I have written unto you ,
young men ,
because all of you are strong ,
and the word (
o .
logos )
of God abides in you ,
and all of you have overcome the wicked one .
*
Love not the world ,
neither the things that are in the world .
If any man love the world ,
the love (
o .
agape )
of the Father is not in him .
*
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 .
*
And the world passes away ,
and the lust thereof :
but he that does the will of God abides for ever .
*
Little children ,
it is the last time :
and as all of you have heard that antichrist shall come ,
even now are there many antichrists ;
whereby we know that it is the last time .
*
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 .
*
But all of you have an anointing from the Holy One ,
and all of you know all things .
*
I have not written unto you because all of you know not the truth ,
but because all of you know it ,
and that no lie is of the truth .
*
Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ ?
He is antichrist ,
that denies the Father and the Son .
*
Whosoever denies the Son ,
the same has not the Father :
he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also .
*
Let that therefore abide in you ,
which all of you have heard from the beginning .
If that which all of you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you ,
all of you also shall continue in the Son ,
and in the Father .
*
And this is the promise that he has promised us ,
even eternal life .
*
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you .
*
But the anointing which all of you have received of him abides in you ,
and all of you need not that any man teach you :
but as the same anointing teaches you of all things ,
and is truth ,
and is no lie ,
and even as it has taught you ,
all of you shall abide in him .
*
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 .
*
If all of you know that he is righteous ,
all of you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him .
