1 My children! These things I write unto you, that ye sin not; But if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but for the [sins] of the whole world.

3 And that we have known Him, we learn from the fact that we keep His commandments.
4 He who says, "I have known him," but does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and there is no truth in him;
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him truly the love of God is accomplished: out of this we know that we are in him.
6th He who says that he abides in Him, he must do as He did.

7th Beloved ones! I write to you not a new commandment, but an ancient commandment, which you had from the beginning. The ancient commandment is the word that you heard from the beginning.
8 But also a new commandment I write to you, which is true in Him and in you: because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
9 He who says that he is in the light, but hates his brother, is still in darkness.
10 He who loves his brother stays in the light, and there is no temptation in him.
eleven But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness blinded his eyes.

12 I write to you, children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Jehovah from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you defeated the Evil One. I write to you, children, because you have known the Father.
14 I wrote to you, fathers, because you have come to know the Unless one. I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Do not love the world, or what is in the world: whoever loves the world, in that there is no love of the Father.
16 For all that is in the world: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not from the Father, but from this world.
17th And the world is passing away, and his lust, but he who does the will of God abides forever.

18 Children! Lately. And as you have heard that the Antichrist will come, and now there are many antichrists, we also learn from what has been the last time.
19 They came from us, but they were not ours: for if they were ours, they would have stayed with us; But [they came out, and] through it revealed that not all of us.

20 However, you have anointing from the Holy One and know everything.
21 I wrote to you not because you did not know the truth, but because you know it, and that all lies are not from the truth.
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, rejecting the Father and the Son.
23 Everyone who rejects the Son does not have the Father; But the one who confesses the Son also has the Father.
24 Therefore, whatever you have heard from the beginning, let it also abide in you; If what remains in you is what you heard from the beginning, then you will be in the Son and in the Father.
25 The promise that He promised us is eternal life.
26th I wrote this to you about those who deceive you.
27th However, the anointing you received from Him is in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; But as this very anointing teaches you everything, and it is true and uncomplicated, what it taught you, stay in it.

28 Therefore, children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we will have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is a righteous man, know that everyone who does the truth is born of Him.
