Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:1 - My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:2 - and *he* is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:3 - And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:4 - He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:5 - but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:6 - He that says he abides in him ought, even as *he* walked, himself also so to walk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:7 - Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:8 - Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:9 - He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:10 - He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:11 - But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:12 - I write to you, children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:13 - I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:14 - I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Do Not Love the World

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:15 - Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:16 - because 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:17 - And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:18 - Little children, it is the last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is the last hour.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:19 - They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:20 - And *ye* have the unction from the holy one, and ye know all things.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:21 - I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:22 - Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? *He* is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:23 - Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:24 - As for *you* let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, *ye* also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.

The Promise Is Eternal Life

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:25 - And this is the promise which *he* has promised us, life eternal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:26 - These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:27 - and *yourselves*, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:28 - And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:29 - If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
DBY

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
