ABP - I John - 2

2:1  My sons, these things I write to you, that you should not sin. And if any should sin, [2a comforter 1we have] with the father– Jesus Christ the righteous.

2:2  And he is atonement for our sins; [2not 4for 5ours 1but 3only], but also for the whole world.

2:3  And by this we know that we have known him– if the commandments of his we keep.

2:4  The one saying, I know him, and his commandments is not keeping, is a liar, and [4in 5this one 1the 2truth 3is not].

2:5  But who ever should give heed of his word, truly in this one the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that [2in 3him 1we are].

2:6  The one saying [2in 3him 1to be abiding], ought as that one walked, also himself so to walk.

2:7  Brethren, [2do not 6commandment 5a new 1I 3write 4to you], but [2commandment 1an old], which you had from the beginning. The [2commandment 1old] is the word which you heard from the beginning.

2:8  Again, [2commandment 1a new] I write to you, which is true in him, and in you, because the darkness passes away, and the [2light 1true] already shines forth.

2:9  The one saying [2in 3the 4light 1to be], and [2his brother 1detests], [2in 3the 4darkness 1is] until now.

2:10  The one loving his brother [2in 3the 4light 1abides], and [2cause of offence 3in 4him 1there is no].

2:11  But the one detesting his brother [2in 3the 4darkness 1is], and in the darkness walks, and does not know where he goes, because the darkness blinded his eyes.

2:12  I write to you, sons, for [3have been forgiven 4to you 1the 2sins] through his name.

2:13  I write to you, fathers, because you have known the one from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, children, because you have known the father.

2:14  I wrote to you, fathers, because you have known the one from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God [2in 3you 1abides], and you have overcome the wicked one.

2:15  Do not love the world, nor the things in the world! If anyone should love the world, [5is not 1the 2love 3of the 4father] in him;

2:16  for every thing in the world– the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentatiousness of existence, is not of the father, but [2of 3the 4world 1is].

2:17  And the world passes away, and the desire of it; but the one doing the will of God abides into the eon.

2:18  Children, [2the last 3hour 1it is]; and as you heard that the antichrist comes, and now [2antichrists 1many] exist, whereupon we know that [2the last 3hour 1it is].

2:19  From us they went forth, but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us; but it was that they should be made manifest that [3not 2are 1all] of us.

2:20  And you [2an anointing 1have] from the holy one, and you know all things.

2:21  I wrote not to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and that every lie [3of 4the 5truth 2not 1is].

2:22  Who is the liar, if not the one denying, saying that, Jesus is not the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one denying the father and the son.

2:23  Every one denying the son, neither [2the 3father 1has].

2:24  You then, what you heard from the beginning, [2in 3you 1let it abide]! If [6in 7you 5should abide 1what 3from 4the beginning 2you heard], then you [2in 3the 4son 5and 6in 7the 8father 1shall abide].

2:25  And this is the promise which he promised to us -- the life eternal.

2:26  These things I wrote to you concerning the ones misleading you.

2:27  And you -- the anointing which you received from him [2in 3you 1abides], and [2no 3need 1you have] that any should teach you; but, as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and as it taught you, you shall abide in him.

2:28  And now, sons, abide in him! that whenever he should be made manifest, we should have an open manner, and we should not be ashamed before him at his arrival.

2:29  If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one doing the righteousness [2of 3him 1is engendered].
