1 John 2:1-10

KJV

NIV

1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
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.
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do 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 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
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 is the love of God perfected: hereby know we 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 so to walk, even as he walked.
6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now 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.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
