John 2:1-14
My
dear Children, I write this to you so that you will not Sin.
But
if anybody does Sin,
We
have One Who speaks to the Father in our Defense—
Jesus
Christ, the Righteous One.
2
He is the Atoning Sacrifice for our Sins,
And
not only for ours but also for the Sins of the Whole World.
3
We know that we have come to know Him
If
we Obey His Commands.
4
The man who says,
'I
know Him,' but does not do what He Commands is a Liar,
And
the Truth is not in him.
5
But if anyone Obeys His Word,
God's
love is Truly mad complete in him.
THIS
IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN HIM:
6
WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN HIM MUST WALK AS JESUS DID.
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
Yet I am writing you a New Command;
Its
Truth is seen In Him and you,
BECAUSE
THE DARKNESS IS PASSING
AND
THE TRUE LIGHT IS ALREADY SHINING.
9
Anyone who claims to be In The Light
But
Hates his brother is still in the Darkness.
10
Whoever loves his Brother lives In The Light,
And
there is nothing in him to make him stumble.
11
But whoever Hates his Brother is in the Darkness
And
walks around in the darkness;
He
does not know where he is going,
BECAUSE
THE DARKNESS HAS BLINDED HIM.
12
I write to you, dear Children,
Because
your Sins have been forgiven on account of His Name.
33
I write to you, Fathers,
Because
you have known Him Who is from the beginning.
I
write to you, young men,
Because
you have Overcome the Evil One.
I
write to you, dear Children,
Because
you have known the Father.
14
I write to you, fathers
Because
you have known Him Who is from the beginning.
I
write to you, young men,
Because
you are strong, and the Word of God lives in you,
And
you have Overcome the Evil One.

John 2:1-14)
