1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.

4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
5 but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
6 he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
7 Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.

8 Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

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 vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
