1 John 2:1-11 ▼

1 My litle children, these things write I vnto you, that ye sinne not: and if any man sinne, wee haue an Aduocate with the Father, Iesus Christ, the Iust.

2 And he is the reconciliation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world.

3 And hereby we are sure that we knowe him, if we keepe his commandements.

4 Hee that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commaundements, is a liar, and the trueth is not in him.

5 But hee that keepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede: hereby wee knowe that ye are in him.

6 He that saith he remaineth in him, ought euen so to walke, as he hath walked.

7 Brethren, I write no newe commaundement vnto you: but an olde commaundement, which ye haue had from the beginning: this olde commaundement is that worde, which yee haue heard from the beginning.

8 Againe, a new comandement I write vnto you, that which is true in him, and also in you: for the darkenes is past, & that true light now shineth.

9 He that saith that hee is in that light, and hateth his brother, is in darkenes, vntill this time.

10 Hee that loueth his brother, abideth in that light, & there is none occasion of euil in him.

11 But he that hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, and walketh in darkenesse, and knoweth not whither hee goeth, because that darkenesse hath blinded his eyes.
