F. Weymouth + + + + +Book 62 1 John + +001:001 That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, + which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands + have handled concerning the Word of Life-- + +001:002 the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, + and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with + the Father and was manifested to us-- + +001:003 that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, + in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, + and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father + and with His Son Jesus Christ. + +001:004 And we write these things in order that our joy may + be made complete. + +001:005 This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus + and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there + is no darkness. + +001:006 If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have + fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering + to the truth. + +001:007 But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have + fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, + cleanses us from all sin. + +001:008 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves + astray and the truth has no place in our hearts. + +001:009 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He + forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. + +001:010 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, + and His Message has no place in our hearts. + +002:001 Dear children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. + If any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ + the righteous; + +002:002 and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, + but also for the sins of the whole world. + +002:003 And by this we may know that we know Him--if we obey His commands. + +002:004 He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, + is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart. + +002:005 But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in + very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we + are in Him. + +002:006 The man who professes to be continuing in Him is himself + also bound to live as He lived. + +002:007 My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am + now giving you, but an old command which you have had from + the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching + which you have already received. + +002:008 And yet I *am* giving you a new command, for such it + really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: + because the darkness is now passing away and the light, + the true light, is already beginning to shine. + +002:009 Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his + brother man is still in darkness. + +002:010 He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his + life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others. + +002:011 But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is + walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going-- + because the darkness has blinded his eyes. + +002:012 I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake + your sins are forgiven you. + +002:013 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has + existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, + young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. + I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. + +002:014 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has + existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, + young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has + a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one. + +002:015 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. + If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart + for the Father. + +002:016 For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, + the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life-- + they all come, not from the Father, but from the world. + +002:017 And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who + does God's will continues for ever. + +002:018 Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard + that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many + anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last + hour has come. + +002:019 They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really + belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have + remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest + that professed believers do not all belong to us. + +002:020 As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and + have perfect knowledge. + +002:021 I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, + but because you know it, and you know that nothing false + comes from the truth. + +002:022 Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus + is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son + is the anti-Christ. + +002:023 No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges + the Son has also the Father. + +002:024 As for you, let the teaching which you have received + from the very beginning continue in your hearts. + If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will + continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father. + +002:025 And this is the promise which He Himself has given us-- + the Life of the Ages. + +002:026 I have thus written to you concerning those who are + leading you astray. + +002:027 And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains + within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. + But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things-- + and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union + with Him even as it has taught you to do. + +002:028 And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, + if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may + not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming. + +002:029 Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man + who habitually acts righteously is a child of His. + +003:001 See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us-- + that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. + For this reason the world does not recognize us--because it + has not known Him. + +003:002 Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are + to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. + We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, + because we shall see Him as He is. + +003:003 And every man who has this hope fixed on Him, purifies himself + so as to be as pure as He is. + +003:004 Every one who is guilty of sin is also guilty of violating Law; + for sin is the violation of Law. + +003:005 And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; + and in Him there is no sin. + +003:006 No one who continues in union with Him lives in sin: + no one who lives in sin has seen Him or knows Him. + +003:007 Dear children, let no one lead you astray. The man who acts + righteously is righteous, just as He is righteous. + +003:008 He who is habitually guilty of sin is a child of the Devil, + because the Devil has been a sinner from the very beginning. + The Son of God appeared for the purpose of undoing the work + of the Devil. + +003:009 No one who is a child of God is habitually guilty of sin. + A God-given germ of life remains in him, and he cannot + habitually sin--because he is a child of God. + +003:010 By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: + no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, + nor he who does not love his brother man. + +003:011 For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning-- + that we are to love one another. + +003:012 We are not to resemble Cain, who was a child of the Evil + one and killed his own brother. And why did he kill him? + Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's + actions righteous. + +003:013 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. + +003:014 As for us, we know that we have already passed out + of death into Life--because we love our brother men. + He who is destitute of love continues dead. + +003:015 Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know + that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him. + +003:016 We know what love is--through Christ's having laid down His + life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay + down our lives for our brother men. + +003:017 But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his + brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him-- + how can such a one continue to love God? + +003:018 Dear children, let us not love in words only nor with the lips, + but in deed and in truth. + +003:019 And in this way we shall come to know that we are loyal to + the truth, and shall satisfy our consciences in His presence + +003:020 in whatever matters our hearts condemn us--because God is + greater than our hearts and knows everything. + +003:021 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have perfect + confidence towards God; + +003:022 and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His + commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight. + +003:023 And this is His command--that we are to believe in + His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has + commanded us to do. + +003:024 The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, + and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom + He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us. + +004:001 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but put the spirits + to the test to see whether they are from God; for many false + teachers have gone out into the world. + +004:002 The test by which you may recognize the Spirit of God is + that every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus Christ has + come as man is from God, + +004:003 and that no spirit is from God which does not acknowledge + this about Jesus. Such is the spirit of the anti-Christ; + of whose coming you have heard, and it is already in the world. + +004:004 As for you, dear children, you are God's children, and have + successfully resisted them; for greater is He who is in you + than he who is in the world. + +004:005 They are the world's children, and so their language + is that of the world, and the world listens to them. + We are God's children. + +004:006 The man who is beginning to know God listens to us, + but he who is not a child of God does not listen to us. + By this test we can distinguish the Spirit of truth from + the spirit of error. + +004:007 Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin + in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God + and is beginning to know God. + +004:008 He who is destitute of love has never had any knowledge of God; + because God is love. + +004:009 God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His + only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him. + +004:010 This is love indeed--we did not love God, but He loved us + and sent His Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins. + +004:011 Dear friends, if God has so loved us, we also ought to + love one another. + +004:012 No one has ever yet seen God. If we love one another, + God continues in union with us, and His love in all its + perfection is in our hearts. + +004:013 We can know that we are continuing in union with Him and that He + is continuing in union with us, by the fact that He has given + us a portion of His Spirit. + +004:014 And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent + the Son to be the Saviour of the world. + +004:015 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God--God continues + in union with him, and he continues in union with God. + +004:016 And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, + and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues + to love continues in union with God, and God continues + in union with him. + +004:017 Our love will be manifested in all its perfection by our + having complete confidence on the day of the Judgement; + because just what He is, we also are in the world. + +004:018 Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love drives away fear, + because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to fear, + there is something imperfect in his love. + +004:019 We love because God first loved us. + +004:020 If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, + he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom + he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. + +004:021 And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves + God must love his brother man also. + +005:001 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; + and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is + the Father's Child. + +005:002 The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, + is a proof that we love God's children. + +005:003 Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands + are not irksome. + +005:004 For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious + principle which has overcome the world is our faith. + +005:005 Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God + overcomes the world? + +005:006 Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with + the water only, but with the water and with the blood. + And it is the Spirit who gives testimony--because the Spirit + is the Truth. + +005:007 For there are three that give testimony--the Spirit, the water, + and the blood; + +005:008 and there is complete agreement between these three. + +005:009 If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: + for God's testimony consists of the things which He has + testified about His Son. + +005:010 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his + own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, + in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has + given about His Son. + +005:011 And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us + the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son. + +005:012 He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God + has not the Life. + +005:013 I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son + of God may know for certain that you already have the Life + of the Ages. + +005:014 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything + in accordance with His will, He listens to us. + +005:015 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, + we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him. + +005:016 If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is + not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life-- + for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing + as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request. + +005:017 Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is + not unto death. + +005:018 We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, + but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one + cannot touch him. + +005:019 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world + lies in the power of the Evil one. + +005:020 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us + understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with + the true One--that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. + He is the true God and the Life of the Ages. + +005:021 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols. + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Weymouth New Testament in Modern +Speech, 1 John, by R.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future +generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
