1 filioli mei haec scribo vobis ut non peccetis
sed et si quis peccaverit
advocatum habemus apud Patrem Iesum Christum iustum
2 et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris
non pro nostris autem tantum sed etiam pro totius mundi
3 et in hoc scimus quoniam cognovimus eum
si mandata eius observemus
4 qui dicit se nosse eum et mandata eius non custodit
mendax est in hoc veritas non est
5 qui autem servat verbum eius
vere in hoc caritas Dei perfecta est
in hoc scimus quoniam in ipso sumus
6 qui dicit se in ipso manere
debet sicut ille ambulavit et ipse ambulare
7 carissimi non mandatum novum scribo vobis
sed mandatum vetus quod habuistis ab initio
mandatum vetus est verbum quod audistis
8 iterum mandatum novum scribo vobis
quod est verum et in ipso et in vobis
quoniam tenebrae transeunt
et lumen verum iam lucet
9 qui dicit se in luce esse et fratrem suum odit
in tenebris est usque adhuc
10 qui diligit fratrem suum
in lumine manet et scandalum in eo non est
11 qui autem odit fratrem suum
in tenebris est et in tenebris ambulat et nescit quo eat
quoniam tenebrae obcaecaverunt oculos eius
12 scribo vobis filioli
quoniam remittuntur vobis peccata propter nomen eius
13 scribo vobis patres quoniam cognovistis eum qui ab initio est
scribo vobis adulescentes quoniam vicistis malignum
14 scripsi vobis infantes quoniam cognovistis
Patrem
scripsi vobis patres
quia cognovistis eum qui ab initio
scripsi vobis adulescentes
quia fortes estis et verbum Dei in vobis manet
et vicistis malignum
15 nolite diligere mundum neque ea quae in mundo sunt
si quis diligit mundum non est caritas Patris in eo
16 quoniam omne quod est in mundo
concupiscentia carnis et concupiscentia oculorum est
et superbia vitae
quae non est ex Patre sed ex mundo est
17 et mundus transit et concupiscentia eius
qui autem facit voluntatem Dei manet in aeternum
18 filioli novissima hora est
et sicut audistis quia antichristus venit
nunc antichristi multi facti sunt
unde scimus quoniam novissima hora est
19 ex nobis prodierunt sed non erant ex nobis
nam si fuissent ex nobis
permansissent utique nobiscum
sed ut manifesti sint quoniam non sunt omnes ex nobis
20 sed vos unctionem habetis a Sancto et nostis omnia
21 non scripsi vobis quasi ignorantibus veritatem
sed quasi scientibus eam
et quoniam omne mendacium ex veritate non est
22 quis est mendax nisi is qui negat
quoniam Iesus non est Christus
hic est antichristus qui negat Patrem et Filium
23 omnis qui negat Filium nec Patrem habet
qui confitetur Filium et Patrem habet
24 vos quod audistis ab initio in vobis permaneat
si in vobis permanserit quod ab initio audistis
et vos in Filio et Patre manebitis
25 et haec est repromissio
quam ipse pollicitus est nobis vitam aeternam
26 haec scripsi vobis de eis qui seducunt vos
27 et vos unctionem quam accepistis ab eo manet in vobis
et non necesse habetis ut aliquis doceat vos
sed sicut unctio eius docet vos de omnibus
et verum est et non est mendacium
et sicut docuit vos manete in eo
28 et nunc filioli manete in eo
ut cum apparuerit habeamus fiduciam
et non confundamur ab eo in adventu eius
29 si scitis quoniam iustus est
scitote quoniam et omnis qui facit iustitiam ex ipso natus est
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 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 shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that 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 wicked one. 15 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. 16 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. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 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. 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also . 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 28 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. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
