1 John

我们的中保基督

1我小子们哪，我将这些话写给你们，是要叫你们不犯罪。若有人犯罪，在父那里我们有一位中保，就是那义者耶稣基督。

2他为我们的罪作了挽回祭，不是单为我们的罪，也是为普天下人的罪。

3我们若遵守他的诫命，就晓得是认识他。

4人若说「我认识他」，却不遵守他的诫命，便是说谎话的，真理也不在他心里了。

5凡遵守主道的，爱 神的心在他里面实在是完全的。从此，我们知道我们是在主里面。

6人若说他住在主里面，就该自己照主所行的去行。

新命令

7亲爱的弟兄啊，我写给你们的，不是一条新命令，乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令；这旧命令就是你们所听见的道。

8再者，我写给你们的，是一条新命令，在主是真的，在你们也是真的；因为黑暗渐渐过去，真光已经照耀。

9人若说自己在光明中，却恨他的弟兄，他到如今还是在黑暗里。

10爱弟兄的，就是住在光明中，在他并没有绊跌的缘由。

11惟独恨弟兄的，是在黑暗里，且在黑暗里行，也不知道往哪里去，因为黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。

12小子们哪，我写信给你们， 因为你们的罪借着主名得了赦免。

13父老啊，我写信给你们， 因为你们认识那从起初原有的。 少年人哪，我写信给你们， 因为你们胜了那恶者。

14小子们哪，我曾写信给你们， 因为你们认识父。 父老啊，我曾写信给你们， 因为你们认识那从起初原有的。 少年人哪，我曾写信给你们； 因为你们刚强， 神的道常存在你们心里； 你们也胜了那恶者。

15不要爱世界和世界上的事。人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了。

16因为，凡世界上的事，就像肉体的情欲、眼目的情欲，并今生的骄傲，都不是从父来的，乃是从世界来的。

17这世界和其上的情欲都要过去，惟独遵行 神旨意的，是永远常存。

敌基督者

18小子们哪，如今是末时了。你们曾听见说，那敌基督的要来；现在已经有好些敌基督的出来了，从此我们就知道如今是末时了。

19他们从我们中间出去，却不是属我们的；若是属我们的，就必仍旧与我们同在；他们出去，显明都不是属我们的。

20你们从那圣者受了恩膏，并且知道这一切的事。

21我写信给你们，不是因你们不知道真理，正是因你们知道，并且知道没有虚谎是从真理出来的。

22谁是说谎话的呢？不是那不认耶稣为基督的吗？不认父与子的，这就是敌基督的。

23凡不认子的，就没有父；认子的，连父也有了。

24论到你们，务要将那从起初所听见的，常存在心里。若将从起初所听见的存在心里，你们就必住在子里面，也必住在父里面。

25主所应许我们的就是永生。

26我将这些话写给你们，是指着那引诱你们的人说的。

27你们从主所受的恩膏常存在你们心里，并不用人教训你们，自有主的恩膏在凡事上教训你们。这恩膏是真的，不是假的；你们要按这恩膏的教训住在主里面。

神的儿女

28小子们哪，你们要住在主里面。这样，他若显现，我们就可以坦然无惧；当他来的时候，在他面前也不至于惭愧。

29你们若知道他是公义的，就知道凡行公义之人都是他所生的。

1My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:

2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

3And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.

4He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.

6He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.

7Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.

8Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.

9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

10He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.

11But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

13I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.

14I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.

15Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

16For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever.

18Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour.

19They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us.

20But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things.

21I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth.

22Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.

23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.

24As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.

25And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting.

26These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you.

27And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him.

28And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by him at his coming.

29If you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him.
