1 John 2:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 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;
2
and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for
the sins of
the whole world.
3
By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.
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;
5
but whoever follows His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:
6
the one who says that he remains in Him ought, himself also, walk just as He walked.
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.
King James Version
Chapter 2
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:
2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
1
My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous one.
2
He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.
3
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commands.
4
The one who says, "I have come to know him," and yet doesn’t keep his commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5
But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God is made complete. This is how we know we are in him:
6
The one who says he remains in him should walk just as he walked.
7
Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old command that you have had from the beginning. The old command is the word you have heard.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
1
My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.
2
He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins — and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
3
And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments.
4
If someone claims, 'I know God,' but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.
5
But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him.
6
Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
7
Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment — to love one another — is the same message you heard before.

5
but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:
6
whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
7
Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

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 keep his commands.
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 if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
6
Whoever claims to live in him must live 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.

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
3
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
4
He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5
But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
6
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
