1 John 2:7
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

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:8
Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:9
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:10
Anyone who loves their brother and sister[c] lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:11
But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:12
I am writing to you, dear children,
because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:13
I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome the evil one

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:14
I write to you, dear children,
because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God lives in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:15
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:16
For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:17
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:18
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:20
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:21
I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:23
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:24
As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:25
And this is what he promised us—eternal life.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

1 John 2:26
I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.
