1 John 2

¹My little 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹¹But 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.

¹²Litle children, I write vnto you, because your sinnes are forgiuen you for his Names sake.
