The Koine Bible

My children, I write 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,

And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the whole world.

And in this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

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.

Whoever keeps his word, truly in this the love of God has been perfected. In this we know that we are in him.

The one who says he remains in him must walk just as he walked.

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 heard.

Again I write 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.

The one who says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness.

The one who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

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.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name’s sake.

I write to you, fathers, because you have known the one from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.

I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you know the one 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.

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.

For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

And the world passes away and its desire, but the one who does the will of God remains into the age.

Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming, now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But it was so that they might be revealed that not all are of us.

And you have an anointing from the Holy One and you all know.

I did not write to you that you do not know the truth, but that you know it, and that every lie is not from the truth.

Who is the liar if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Messiah? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has both the Father and the Son.

What you heard from the beginning, let it remain in you; if what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

And this is the promise that he promised us, eternal life.

I have written these things to you concerning those who are deceiving you.

And you have the anointing which you received from him remaining in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; but as his anointing teaches you about all things, and it is true and not false, and just as it taught you, remain in it.

And now, children, remain in him, so that if he is revealed, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born from him.
