1 John 2
Worldwide English (New Testament)
2 My children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not do wrong things. But if anyone does something wrong, we have a Friend to help us. He speaks to God for us. He is Jesus Christ who does what is right.
2 He himself is the sacrifice God offered to pay for the wrong we have done. And he pays for the wrong things all people in all the world have done.
3 We can be sure that we know him when we obey his laws.
4 If any man says, `I know him' and does not obey his laws, he is telling a lie. He does not know what is true.
5 But if any man obeys his word, he really loves God. Here is the way that we may be sure that we belong to him.
6 If any man says he belongs to him, he must live in the same way Christ lived.
7 My dear brothers, I am not writing you a new law. This is an old law. You had it from the beginning. The old law is the word which you have heard.
8 But in a way, I am writing you a new law. The darkness is going away and the true light is shining already.
9 Does anyone say he is in the light, and hates his brother? Then he is still in the dark.
10 The man who loves his brother lives in the light. There is nothing in him to make him do wrong.
11 But the man who hates his brother is in the dark. He lives in the dark. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has made him blind.
12 Children, I am writing to you because God has forgiven the wrong things you have done. Your wrong ways have been forgiven because of what Christ did.
13 Fathers, I am writing to you because you know the One who has lived from the beginning. Young men, I am writing to you because you have won the victory over the devil. Children, I write to you because you know Father God.
14 Fathers, I write to you because you know him, the one who has lived from the beginning. Young men, I write to you because you are strong. You believe God's word. You have won the victory over the devil.
15 Do not love the world, or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, he does not love the Father.
16 Nothing in the world comes from the Father. I mean the wrong things people like to do with their bodies. I mean the things people see and want to have. I mean all the things people are proud of in this life. These things come from the world, not the Father.
17 And the world will go away and all the things in it that people like to do. But the person who does what God wants him to do will live for ever.
18 Children, we are very near the end of time. You have heard that someone will come who is against Christ. Many who are against Christ have already come. That is how we know that we are very near the end of time.
19 They left us, but they did not belong with us. If they had belonged with us, they would have stayed with us. But they left us so that people could see that all of them did not belong with us.
20 But the Holy One has given you a gift of understanding so that you all may know what is true.
21 I write to you, not because you do not know what is true, but because you do know. And you know that no lie is true.
22 Who then is the one who says what is not true? It is the one who says that Jesus is not the Christ. That person is against Christ, because he says there is no Father and there is no Son.
23 Everyone who says Jesus is not the Son does not know the Father. And everyone who says Jesus is the Son knows the Father.
24 So keep what you have heard from the beginning. If you keep what you have heard from the beginning, you too belong to the Son and to the Father.
25 And he himself has promised us that we will live for ever.
26 I have written these things to you about the ones who try to fool you.
27 You have a gift of understanding from Christ. That gift stays with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His gift teaches you about everything. It is true. It is not a lie. So stay with him as he has taught you.
28 Now, my children, stay with Christ. Then we will not be afraid on that day when we see him again. We will not be ashamed to stand before him when he comes again.
29 You know that he does what is right. So you know also that everyone who does what is right is his child.
1 Иохана 2
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
2 Дети мои, я пишу вам это, чтобы вы не согрешали. Но если кто из вас и согрешит, то у нас есть Праведник Иса Масих, Который свидетельствует перед Небесным Отцом в нашу защиту. 2 Он – умилостивление за наши грехи, и не только за наши, но и за грехи всего мира.
Знающий Всевышнего исполняет Его повеления
3 Мы можем быть уверены, что знаем Его, если соблюдаем Его повеления. 4 Если кто-то говорит: «Я знаю Его», но не соблюдает Его повелений, тот лжец, и истины в нём нет. 5 Но если человек послушен Его слову, тогда любовь Всевышнего действительно достигла в нём своей полноты; это и показывает, что мы пребываем в Нём. 6 Кто заявляет, что живёт в единении со Всевышним, тот должен и поступать так, как поступал Иса.
7 Дорогие, я не пишу вам какое-то новое повеление, повеление это известно уже давно, и вы имели его с самого начала. Это старое повеление и есть та весть, которую вы слышали. 8 И всё-таки, то, что я пишу, – это и новое повеление, истинное в Нём и в вас, потому что мрак рассеивается, и уже светит истинный свет.
9 Кто заявляет, что живёт во свете, но ненавидит своего брата, тот ещё во тьме. 10 Но кто любит своего брата, тот живёт во свете, и в нём нет уже ничего, что ведёт ко греху. 11 Кто ненавидит своего брата, тот находится во тьме и во тьме ходит, не зная, куда идёт, потому что тьма ослепила его.
12 Я пишу вам, дети,
потому что ваши грехи уже прощены ради Его имени.
13 Я пишу вам, отцы,
потому что вы познали Того, Кто существует от начала.
Я пишу вам, юноши,
потому что вы победили дьявола.
Я написал вам, дети,
потому что вы познали Небесного Отца.
14 Отцы, я написал вам,
потому что вы познали Того, Кто существует от начала.
Я написал вам, юноши,
потому что вы сильны,
в вас пребывает слово Всевышнего,
и вы победили дьявола.
Не любите мира
15 Не любите ни этого мира[a], ни того, что в мире. Кто любит мир, в том нет любви к Небесному Отцу[b], 16 потому что всё, что есть в этом мире, – греховные желания плоти, желания глаз и житейская гордость, – не от Небесного Отца, а от мира. 17 Мир и мирские желания проходят, но тот, кто исполняет волю Всевышнего, живёт вечно.
Предостережение о врагах Исы Масиха
18 Дети, это время – последнее. Вы слышали, что должен прийти враг Масиха,[c] и сейчас появилось много врагов Масиха, из чего мы узнаём, что время – последнее. 19 Эти враги Масиха вышли из нашей среды, хоть они никогда к нам не принадлежали. Если бы они действительно принадлежали к нам, то остались бы с нами. То, что они от нас вышли, показывает, что они и не принадлежали к нам.
20 Вы получили помазание[d] от Святого[e], и у всех вас есть знание. 21 Я пишу вам не потому, что вы не знаете истины, а наоборот, потому, что вы знаете её и то, что из неё не может произойти никакой лжи. 22 Кто такой лжец? Лжец – тот, кто отвергает, что Иса – обещанный Масих. Такой человек – враг Масиха, он отвергает и Небесного Отца, и Сына. 23 Тот, кто отвергает Сына, не имеет и Небесного Отца, а кто признаёт Сына, тот имеет и Небесного Отца.
24 Храните слышанное вами от начала. Если то, что вы слышали от начала, будет постоянно в вас, то и вы сами будете в единении с Сыном и Небесным Отцом. 25 Его обещание, которое Он дал нам, – вечная жизнь.
26 Это я пишу вам относительно тех, кто пытается вас обмануть. 27 Помазание, которое вы получили от Него, постоянно в вас, и поэтому вам не нужно, чтобы кто-либо учил вас. Его помазание само учит вас всему, оно говорит истину и никогда не лжёт. Поэтому, как оно научило вас, так и оставайтесь в Нём[f].
Дети Всевышнего
28 И теперь, дети, оставайтесь в единении с Масихом, чтобы, когда Он вернётся, мы могли бы стоять перед Ним уверенно и не стыдясь.
29 Если вы знаете, что Он праведен, то знаете и то, что каждый, кто живёт праведно, рождён от Всевышнего.

1 John 2
New King James Version
The Test of Knowing Christ
2 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, (A)we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And (B)He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but (C)also for the whole world.
The Test of Knowing Him
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 (D)liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But (E)whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected (F)in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 (G)He who says he abides in Him (H)ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7 [b]Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had (I)from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard [c]from the beginning. 8 Again, (J)a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, (K)because the darkness is passing away, and (L)the true light is already shining.
9 (M)He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 10 (N)He who loves his brother abides in the light, and (O)there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But he who (P)hates his brother is in darkness and (Q)walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Their Spiritual State
12 I write to you, little children,
Because (R)your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is (S)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 (T)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 (U)you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
Do Not Love the World
15 (V)Do not love the world or the things in the world. (W)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, (X)the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And (Y)the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Deceptions of the Last Hour
18 (Z)Little children, (AA)it is the last hour; and as you have heard that (AB)the[d] Antichrist is coming, (AC)even now many antichrists have come, by which we know (AD)that it is the last hour. 19 (AE)They went out from us, but they were not of us; for (AF)if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out (AG)that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
20 But (AH)you have an anointing (AI)from the Holy One, and (AJ)you[e] 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 (AK)Who is a liar but he who denies that (AL)Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (AM)Whoever denies the Son does not have the (AN)Father either; (AO)he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
Let Truth Abide in You
24 Therefore let that abide in you (AP)which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, (AQ)you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 (AR)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 [f]deceive you. 27 But the (AS)anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and (AT)you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing (AU)teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you [g]will abide in Him.
The Children of God
28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that [h]when He appears, we may have (AV)confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 (AW)If you know that He is righteous, you know that (AX)everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
