1 My children, I write these things to you in order that you do not do wrong. And if one should do wrong, we have an Advocate with the Father: the righteous Yahshua Christ.2 And He is a propitiation on behalf of our errors; yet not for ours only but for the whole Society.3 And by this we may know that we know Him, if we would keep His commandments.4 He saying that he knows Him and not keeping His commandments, he is a liar and the truth is not in him.5 But he whom would keep His word, truly the love of Yahweh is perfected in him: by this we know that we are in Him.6 He purporting to abide in Him, just as He had walked, thusly he also is obliged to walk.7 Beloved, I do not write to you a new commandment, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word which you have heard.8 Contrariwise, I write to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness passes by and the true light already shines:9 He purporting to be in the light and hates his brother is in darkness even now.10 He loving his brother abides in the light and there is no offense in him.11 But he hating his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.12 I write to you, children, because your errors are remitted through His Name.13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have prevailed over the Evil One.14 I have written to you, little children, because you know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the Word of Yahweh abides in you and you have prevailed over the Evil One.15 Do not love Society nor the things in Society. If one should love the Society, the love of the Father is not in him.16 Because all which is in Society, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the pretense of life, is not from of the Father but is from of Society,17 and the Society passes on, and its desire, but he doing the will of Yahweh abides forever.18 Little children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the Antichrist comes, even now many Antichrists have been born, from which we know that it is the last hour.19 They came out from us but they were not from of us. For if they were from of us, they would have abided with us, but so that they would be made manifest that they are all not from of us.20 Yet you have an anointing from the Holy One and you know all.21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and because any lie is not from of the truth.22 Who is a liar, if not he denying that Yahshua is the Christ? He is the Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son!23 Each denying the Son has not the Father either; he being in agreement with the Son also has the Father.24 That which you have heard from the beginning must abide in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning should abide in you, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.25 And this is the promise which He promised to us: eternal life.26 I have written these things to you in reference to those leading you astray.27 And the anointing which you have received from Him, it abides in you and you have no need that one should teach you, but as His anointing teaches us concerning all things and is true and is not a lie, then just as He has taught you, you abide in Him.28 And now, children, you abide in Him, that if He should appear, we would have freespokenness and would not be dishonored by Him at His presence.29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that each who is practicing righteousness has been born from of Him.
