002:010 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there
is no occasion for stumbling in him.
002:011 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks
in the darkness, and doesn't know where he is going,
because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
002:012 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven
you for his name's sake.
002:013 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from
the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have
overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children,
because you know the Father.
002:014 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is
from the beginning. I have written to you, young men,
because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
002:015 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.
002:016 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust
of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's,
but is the world's.
002:017 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does
God's will remains forever.
002:018 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that
the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen.
By this we know that it is the final hour.
002:019 They went out from us, but they didn't belong to us; for if they
had belonged to us, they would have continued with us.
But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them
belong to us.
002:020 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know the truth.
002:021 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth,
but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
002:022 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is
the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
002:023 Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn't have the Father.
He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
002:024 Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you
heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from
the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son,
and in the Father.
002:025 This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.
002:026 These things I have written to you concerning those who would
lead you astray.
002:027 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains
in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you.
But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things,
and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you,
you will remain in him.
002:028 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears,
we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
