NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 John 2

Christ Is Our Advocate

1

 aMy littleg5040 childreng5040, I am  bwritingg1125 theseg3778 thingsg3778 to you sog2443 that you may not sing264. And ifg1437 anyoneg5100 sinsg264,  cwe haveg2192 an  1 dAdvocateg3875 with the Fatherg3962, Jesusg2424 Christg5547 the righteousg1342;

2

and He Himselfg846 is  athe  1propitiationg2434 for our sinsg266; and not for oursg2251 onlyg3440, but alsog2532  bfor those of the wholeg3650 worldg2889.

3

 aBy thisg3778 we knowg1097 that we have come to  bknowg1097 Him, ifg1437 we  ckeepg5083 His commandmentsg1785.

4

The one who saysg3004, " aI have come to  bknowg1097 Him," and does not keepg5083 His commandmentsg1785, is a  cliarg5583, and  dthe truthg225 is not in him;

5

but whoeverg3739g302  akeepsg5083 His wordg3056, in him the  bloveg26 of Godg2316 has trulyg230 been perfectedg5048.  cBy thisg3778 we knowg1097 that we are in Him:

6

the one who saysg3004 he  aabidesg3306 in Him  boughtg3784 himselfg846 to walkg4043 in the sameg3779 mannerg3779 as He walkedg4043.

7

 aBelovedg27, I am  bnot writingg1125 a newg2537 commandmentg1785 to you, but an oldg3820 commandmentg1785 whichg3739 you have hadg2192  cfrom the beginningg746; the oldg3820 commandmentg1785 is the wordg3056 whichg3739 you have heardg191.

8

 1On the otherg3825 handg3825, I am writingg1125  aa newg2537 commandmentg1785 to you, whichg3739 is trueg227 in Him and in you, becauseg3754  bthe darknessg4653 is passingg3855 awayg3855 and  cthe trueg228 Lightg5457 is alreadyg2235 shiningg5316.

9

The one who saysg3004 he is in the Lightg5457 and yet  ahatesg3404 his  bbrotherg80 is in the darknessg4653 untilg2193 nowg737.

10

 aThe one who lovesg25 his brotherg80 abidesg3306 in the Lightg5457 and there is nog3756 causeg4625 for stumblingg4625 in him.

11

But the one who  ahatesg3404 his brotherg80 is in the darknessg4653 and  bwalksg4043 in the darknessg4653, and does not knowg3609a whereg4226 he is goingg5217 becauseg3754 the darknessg4653 has  cblindedg5186 his eyesg3788.

12

I am writingg1125 to you,  alittleg5040 childreng5040, becauseg3754  byour sinsg266 have been forgiveng863 you for His name'sg3686 sakeg1223.

13

I am writingg1125 to you, fathersg3962, becauseg3754 you knowg1097 Him  awho has been from the beginningg746. I am writingg1125 to you, youngg3495 meng3495, becauseg3754  byou have overcomeg3528  cthe evilg4190 oneg4190. I have writteng1125 to you, childreng3813, becauseg3754  dyou knowg1097 the Fatherg3962.

14

I have writteng1125 to you, fathersg3962, becauseg3754 you knowg1097 Him  awho has been from the beginningg746. I have writteng1125 to you, youngg3495 meng3495, becauseg3754 you are  bstrongg2478, and the  cwordg3056 of Godg2316 abidesg3306 in you, and  dyou have overcomeg3528 the evilg4190 oneg4190.

Do Not Love the World

15

Do not loveg25  athe worldg2889 norg3366 the things in the worldg2889.  bIfg1437 anyoneg5100 lovesg25 the worldg2889, the loveg26 of the Fatherg3962 is not in him.

16

For allg3956 that is in the worldg2889,  athe lustg1939 of the fleshg4561 and  bthe lustg1939 of the eyesg3788 and  cthe boastfulg212 prideg212 of lifeg979, is not from the Fatherg3962, but is from the worldg2889.

17

 aThe worldg2889 is passingg3855 awayg3855, and also its lustsg1939; but the one who  bdoesg4160 the willg2307 of Godg2316 livesg3306 foreverg165.

18

Childreng3813,  ait is the lastg2078 hourg5610; and justg2531a as you heardg191 that  bantichristg500 is comingg2064,  ceveng2532 nowg3568 manyg4183 antichristsg500 have appearedg1096; from thisg3606 we knowg1097 that it is the lastg2078 hourg5610.

19

 aThey wentg1831 out from us, but they were not really of us; for ifg1487 they had beeng1510 of us, they would have remainedg3306 with us; but they went out,  bsog2443 that  1it would be showng5319 that they allg3956 are not of us.

20

 1But you haveg2192 an  aanointingg5545 from  bthe Holyg40 Oneg40, and  cyou allg3956 knowg3609a.

21

I have not writteng1125 to you becauseg3754 you do not knowg3609a the truthg225, but  abecauseg3754 you do knowg3609a it, and  1becauseg3754 nog3956g3756 lieg5579 is  bof the truthg225.

22

Whog5101 is the liarg5583 but  athe one who deniesg720 that Jesusg2424 is the  1Christg5547? Thisg3778 is  bthe antichristg500, the one who deniesg720 the Fatherg3962 and the Song5207.

23

 aWhoeverg3956 deniesg720 the Song5207 does not haveg2192 the Fatherg3962; the one who confessesg3670 the Song5207 hasg2192 the Fatherg3962 alsog2532.

24

As for you, let that abideg3306 in you whichg3739 you heardg191  afrom the beginningg746. Ifg1437 whatg3739 you heardg191 from the beginningg746 abidesg3306 in you, you alsog2532  bwill abideg3306 in the Song5207 and in the Fatherg3962.

The Promise Is Eternal Life

25

 aThisg3778 is the promiseg1860 whichg3739 He Himselfg846  1madeg1861 to us: eternalg166 lifeg2222.

26

Theseg3778 thingsg3778 I have writteng1125 to you concerningg4012 thoseg3588 who are trying to  adeceiveg4105 you.

27

As for you, the  aanointingg5545 whichg3739 you receivedg2983 from Him abidesg3306 in you, and you haveg2192 nog3756 needg5532 for anyoneg5100 to teachg1321 you; but as His anointingg5545  bteachesg1321 you aboutg4012 allg3956 thingsg3956, and is  ctrueg227 and is not a lieg5579, and justg2531a as it has taughtg1321 you,  1you abideg3306 in Him.

28

Nowg3568,  alittleg5040 childreng5040, abideg3306 in Him, sog2443 that wheng1437 He  bappearsg5319, we may haveg2192  cconfidenceg3954 and  dnot  1shrinkg153 awayg575 from Him in shameg153  2at His  ecomingg3952.

29

Ifg1437 you knowg3609a that  aHe is righteousg1342, you knowg1097 that everyoneg3956 alsog2532 who practicesg4160 righteousnessg1343  bis  1borng1080 of Him.
