2:1

Τεκνια μου ταυτα γραφω υμιν ινα μη αμαρτητε και εαν τις αμαρτη Παρακλητον εχομεν προς τον Πατερα Ιησουν Χριστον δικαιον

My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

¹

2:2

και αυτος ιλασμος εστιν περι των αμαρτιων ημων ου περι των ημετερων δε μονον αλλα και περι ολου του κοσμου

and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

2:3

Και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εγνωκαμεν αυτον εαν τας εντολας αυτου τηρωμεν

And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

2:4

ο λεγων οτι Εγνωκα αυτον και τας εντολας αυτου μη τηρων ψευστης εστιν και εν τουτω η αληθεια ουκ εστιν

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

2:5

ος δ αν τηρη αυτου τον λογον αληθως εν τουτω η αγαπη του Θεου τετελειωται Εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω εσμεν

but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:

2:6

ο λεγων εν αυτω μενειν οφειλει καθως εκεινος περιεπατησεν και αυτος ουτως περιπατειν

he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.

2:7

Αγαπητοι ουκ εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν αλλ εντολην παλαιαν ην ειχετε απ αρχης η εντολη η παλαια εστιν ο λογος ον ηκουσατε

Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.

2:8

παλιν εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν ο εστιν αληθες εν αυτω και εν υμιν οτι η σκοτια παραγεται και το φως το αληθινον ηδη φαινει

Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.

2:9

Ο λεγων εν τω φωτι ειναι και τον αδελφον αυτου μισων εν τη σκοτια εστιν εως αρτι

He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.

2:10

ο αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει και σκανδαλον εν αυτω ουκ εστιν

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.

2:11

ο δε μισων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τη σκοτια εστιν και εν τη σκοτια περιπατει και ουκ οιδεν που υπαγει οτι η σκοτια ετυφλωσεν τους οφθαλμους αυτου

But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

2:12

Γραφω υμιν τεκνια οτι αφεωνται υμιν αι αμαρτιαι δια το ονομα αυτου

I write unto you, my little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

2:13

Γραφω υμιν πατερες οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχης Γραφω υμιν νεανισκοι οτι νενικηκατε τον πονηρον

I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.

2:14

Εγραψα υμιν παιδια οτι εγνωκατε τον Πατερα Εγραψα υμιν πατερες οτι εγνωκατε τον απ αρχης Εγραψα υμιν νεανισκοι οτι ισχυροι εστε και ο λογος του Θεου εν υμιν μενει και νενικηκατε τον πονηρον

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.

2:15

Μη αγαπατε τον κοσμον μηδε τα εν τω κοσμω εαν τις αγαπα τον κοσμον ουκ εστιν η αγαπη του Πατρος εν αυτω

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

2:16

οτι παν το εν τω κοσμω η επιθυμια της σαρκος και η επιθυμια των οφθαλμων και η αλαζονεια του βιου ουκ εστιν εκ του πατρος αλλα εκ του κοσμου εστιν

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

2:17

και ο κοσμος παραγεται και η επιθυμια αυτου ο δε ποιων το θελημα του Θεου μενει εις τον αιωνα

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

2:18

Παιδια εσχατη ωρα εστιν και καθως ηκουσατε οτι αντιχριστος ερχεται και νυν αντιχριστοι πολλοι γεγονασιν οθεν γινωσκομεν οτι εσχατη ωρα εστιν

Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

2:19

εξ ημων εξηλθαν αλλ ουκ ησαν εξ ημων ει γαρ εξ ημων ησαν μεμενηκεισαν αν μεθ ημων αλλ ινα φανερωθωσιν οτι ουκ εισιν παντες εξ ημων

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 they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.

2:20

Και υμεις χρισμα εχετε απο του Αγιου και οιδατε παντες

And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

2:21

ουκ εγραψα υμιν οτι ουκ οιδατε την αληθειαν αλλ οτι οιδατε αυτην και οτι παν ψευδος εκ της αληθειας ουκ εστιν

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

2:22

Τις εστιν ο ψευστης ει μη ο αρνουμενος οτι Ιησους ουκ εστιν ο Χριστος ουτος εστιν ο αντιχριστος ο αρνουμενος τον Πατερα και τον Υιον

Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he that denieth the Father and the Son.

2:23

πας ο αρνουμενος τον Υιον ουδε τον Πατερα εχει ο ομολογων τον Υιον και τον Πατερα εχει

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.

2:24

Υμεις ο ηκουσατε απ αρχης εν υμιν μενετω εαν εν υμιν μεινη ο απ αρχης ηκουσατε και υμεις εν τω Υιω και εν τω Πατρι μενειτε

As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.

2:25

και αυτη εστιν η επαγγελια ην αυτος επηγγειλατο ημιν την ζωην την αιωνιον

And this is the promise which he promised us, even the life eternal.

2:26

Ταυτα εγραψα υμιν περι των πλανωντων υμας

These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.

2:27

και υμεις το χρισμα ο ελαβετε απ αυτου μενει εν υμιν και ου χρειαν εχετε ινα τις διδασκη υμας αλλ ως το αυτου χρισμα διδασκει υμας περι παντων και αληθες εστιν και ουκ εστιν ψευδος και καθως εδιδαξεν υμας μενετε εν αυτω

And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.

2:28

Και νυν τεκνια μενετε εν αυτω ινα εαν φανερωθη σχωμεν παρρησιαν και μη αισχυνθωμεν απ αυτου εν τη παρουσια αυτου

And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

2:29

Εαν ειδητε οτι δικαιος εστιν γινωσκετε οτι και πας ο ποιων την δικαιοσυνην εξ αυτου γεγεννηται

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
