1 John Chapter 2 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, [1†]we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

² And [2†]He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but [3†]also for the whole world.

³ Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

⁴ He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a [4†]liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁵ But [5†]whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected [6†]in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

⁶ [7†]He who says he abides in Him [8†]ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

⁷ Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had [9†]from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

⁸ Again, [10†]a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, [11†]because the darkness is passing away, and [12†]the true light is already shining.

⁹ [13†]He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.

¹⁰ [14†]He who loves his brother abides in the light, and [15†]there is no cause for stumbling in him.

¹¹ But he who [16†]hates his brother is in darkness and [17†]walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹² I write to you, little children, Because [18†]your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.

¹³ I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is [19†]from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have [20†]known the Father.

¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because [21†]you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

¹⁵ [22†]Do not love the world or the things in the world. [23†]If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, [24†]the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

¹⁷ And [25†]the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

¹⁸ [26†]Little children, [27†]it is the last hour; and as you have heard that [28†]the Antichrist is coming, [29†]even now many antichrists have come, by which we know [30†]that it is the last hour.

¹⁹ [31†]They went out from us, but they were not of us; for [32†]if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out [33†]that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

²⁰ But [34†]you have an anointing [35†]from the Holy One, and [36†]you know all things.

²¹ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

²² [37†]Who is a liar but he who denies that [38†]Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

²³ [39†]Whoever denies the Son does not have the [40†]Father either; [41†]he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

²⁴ Therefore let that abide in you [42†]which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, [43†]you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

²⁵ [44†]And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

²⁶ These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.

²⁷ But the [45†]anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and [46†]you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing [47†]teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have [48†]confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

²⁹ [49†]If you know that He is righteous, you know that [50†]everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
