1 John 2:1-11 ▼

1 My litle chyldren, these thynges write I vnto you, that ye sinne not. And yf any man sinne, we haue an aduocate with the father, Iesus Christe the ryghteous.

2 And he is ye attonement for our sinnes: not for our sinnes only, but also for the sinnes of all the worlde.

3 And hereby we are sure that we knowe hym, yf we kepe his comaundementes.

4 He that sayth I knowe hym, and kepeth not his commaundementes, is a lyer, and the veritie is not in hym:

5 But who so kepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede. Hereby knowe we that we are in hym.

6 He that sayth he bydeth in him, ought to walke euen as he walked.

7 Brethren, I write no newe comaundement vnto you, but that olde comaundement which ye haue had from the begynnyng. The olde commaundement is the worde which ye haue hearde fro the begynnyng.

8 Agayne, a newe commaundement I write vnto you, that is true in hym, and the same is true also in you: For the darkenesse is past, and the true lyght nowe shyneth.

9 He that sayth howe that he is in the lyght, and yet hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, euen vntyll this tyme.

10 He that loueth his brother, abydeth in the lyght, and there is none occasion of euyll in hym.

11 He that hateth his brother, is in darknesse, and walketh in darkenesse, & can not tell whyther he goeth, because that darkenesse hath blynded his eyes.
