I John 2

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Mine Børn! dette skriver jeg til eder, for at I ikke skulle synde. Og dersom nogen synder, have vi en Talsmand hos Faderen, Jesus Kristus, den retfærdige,

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

og han er en Forsoning for vore Synder, dog ikke alene for vore, men også for hele Verdens.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

Og derpå kende vi, at vi have kendt ham, om vi holde hans Bud.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Den, som siger: "Jeg kender ham," og ikke holder hans Bud. han er en Løgner, og i ham er Sandheden ikke;

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

men den, som holder hans Ord, i ham er sandelig Guds Kærlighed fuldkommet. Derpå kende vi, at vi ere i ham.

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

Den, som siger, at han bliver i ham, han er også skyldig selv at vandre således, som han vandrede.

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

I elskede, jeg skriver til eder ikke et nyt Bud, men et gammelt Bud, som I have haft fra Begyndelsen. Det gamle Bud er det Ord, som I have hørt.

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Og dog skriver jeg til eder et nyt Bud, hvilket er sandt i ham og i eder, thi Mørket drager bort, og det sande Lys skinner allerede.

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

Den,som siger,at han er i Lyset,og hader sin Broder, han er i Mørket endnu.

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

Den, som elsker sin Broder, bliver i Lyset, og der er ingen Forargelse i ham.

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

Men den, som hader sin Broder, er i Mørket og vandrer i Mørket, og han ved ikke, hvor han går hen, fordi Mørket har blindet hans Øjne.

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

Jeg skriver til eder, mine Børn! fordi eders Synder ere eder forladte for hans Navns Skyld.

I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

Jeg skriver til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg skriver til eder, I unge! fordi I have overvundet den onde. Jeg har skrevet til eder, mine Børn! fordi I kende Faderen.

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Jeg har skrevet til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg har skrevet til eder, I unge! fordi I ere stærke, og Guds Ord bliver i eder, og I have overvundet den onde.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Elsker ikke Verden, ikke heller de Ting, som ere i Verden! Dersom nogen elsker Verden, er Faderens Kærlighed ikke i ham.

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

Thi alt det, som er i Verden, Kødets Lyst og Øjnenes Lyst og Livets Hoffærdighed, er ikke af Faderen, men af Verden.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Og Verden forgår og dens Lyst; men den, som gør Guds Villie, bliver til evig Tid.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Mine Børn! det er den sidste Time, og som I have hørt, at Antikrist kommer, således ere nu mange Antikrister fremtrådte; deraf kende vi, at det er den sidste Time.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

De ere udgåede fra os, men de vare ikke af os; thi dersom de havde været af os, da vare de blevne hos os. Dog, det var, for at det skulde blive åbenbart, at de ikke alle ere af os.

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

Og I have Salvelse fra den hellige og vide alt.

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

Jeg har ikke skrevet til eder, fordi I ikke vide Sandheden; men fordi I vide den og vide, at ingen Løgn er af Sandheden.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Hvem er Løgneren uden den, som nægter, at Jesus er Kristus? Denne er Antikristen, som fornægter Faderen og Sønnen.

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Hver den, som fornægter Sønnen, har ej heller Faderen; den, som bekender Sønnen, har også Faderen.

Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

Hvad I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, det blive i eder! Dersom det, som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, bliver i eder, skulle også I blive i Sønnen og i Faderen.

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

Og dette er den Forjættelse, som han selv tilsagde os, det evige Liv.

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

Dette har jeg skrevet til eder om dem, som forføre eder.

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Og den Salvelse, som I fik af ham, bliver i eder, og I have ikke nødig, at nogen skal lære eder; men således som hans Salvelse lærer eder alt, er det også sandt og er ikke Løgn, og som den har lært eder, skulle I blive i ham.

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

Og nu mine Børn! bliver i ham, for at vi, når han åbenbares, kunne have Frimodighed og ikke skulle blive til Skamme for ham ved hans Tilkommelse.

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Dersom I vide, at han er retfærdig, da erkender, at hver den, som gør Retfærdighed, er født af ham.
