Christ
Is Our Advocate |
|
|
 |
|
1 John 2:1
|
|
My little children, I am writing these things
to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:2
|
|
and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins;
and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 2:3
|
|
By this we know that we have come to know Him,
if we keep His commandments. |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 2:4
|
|
The one who says, "I have come to know Him,"
and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 2:5
|
|
but whoever keeps His word, in him the love
of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 2:6
|
|
the one who says he abides in Him ought himself
to walk in the same manner as He walked. |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 2:7
|
|
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment
to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old
commandment is the word which you have heard. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:8
|
|
On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment
to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away
and the true Light is already shining. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:9
|
|
The one who says he is in the Light and yet
hates his brother is in the darkness until now. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:10
|
|
The one who loves his brother abides in the
Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:11
|
|
But the one who hates his brother is in the
darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because
the darkness has blinded his eyes. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:12
|
|
I am writing to you, little children, because
your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:13
|
|
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know
Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you
have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know
the Father. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:14
|
|
I have written to you, fathers, because you
know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because
you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil
one. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Do Not Love the World |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:15
|
|
Do not love the world nor the things in the
world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:16
|
|
For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the
Father, but is from the world. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:17
|
|
The world is passing away, and also its lusts;
but the one who does the will of God lives forever. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:18
|
|
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you
heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from
this we know that it is the last hour. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:19
|
|
They went out from us, but they were not really
of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they
went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 2:20
|
|
But you have an anointing from the Holy One,
and you all know. |
| |
|
|
|
1 John 2:21
|
|
I have not written to you because you do not
know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:22
|
|
Who is the liar but the one who denies that
Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and
the Son. |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:23
|
|
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father;
the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:24
|
|
As for you, let that abide in you which you
heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Promise Is Eternal Life |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:25
|
|
This is the promise which He Himself made to
us: eternal life. |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:26
|
|
These things I have written to you concerning
those who are trying to deceive you. |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:27
|
|
As for you, the anointing which you received
from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His
anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just
as it has taught you, you abide in Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:28
|
|
Now, little children, abide in Him, so that
when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame
at His coming. |
|
|
|
|
1 John 2:29
|
|
If you know that He is righteous, you know that
everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him. |
